15 Shelton Road

Pakenham Upper VIC 3810

Set away from the road in a low maintenance, manicured garden surround and numerous mature trees and separated from the more 'commercial' improvements, makes this the ideal sanctuary to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enjoy a 'bevy' around the fire in the outdoor entertaining area or a 'hot toddy' in front of the wood burner in the cosy lounge there's place on this property for all seasons.
The range of shedding here is unbelievable, and three phase power is already connected!
A man cave/workshop (or possible pizzeria) with a feature brick open fireplace and amenities, rustic original workshop and heaps of storage and then there are the old cool stores.
There are six insulated ex-cool stores.
- Four (about 110 square metres each) with direct access to Bourkes Creek Road, each is secure and could be used for a multitude of things (individual storage units, microbrewery, ginneries, or artist studios to suggest a few - all subject to approval of course). These four also have a rear access to the future 'pizzeria'.
- The main insulated room being about 400 square metres with high clearance provides room for machinery storage, workshop or whatever you can imagine!
- The sixth insulated room is about 180 square metres.
There's also a 180 square metre high clearance storage area with open access.
Heaps of concrete hardstand for trucks or parking top off this area.
Visions of an artistic centre, cafe and/or food precinct destination come to mind. Shelton Road is a frequent cycling pathway, so cash in on passing trade needing a stopping off point.
There is a large and still working C1900 stationary engine with the original compressor located on the property. This is a wonderful feature that could no doubt be used as a drawcard to promote any venture that you can imagine - think steampunk on steroids.
About 3 hectares of open grounds/pastures with shelter trees and with a natural amphitheatre, think music events and picnics on the grass, and about 1 hectare of bushland completes this property.
About 15 minutes to Pakenham, 15 minutes to Beaconsfield Upper and 15 minutes to Gembrook and if you're into star gazing there are two observatories within 10 minutes and the beautiful bushland of RJ Chambers Flora and Fauna Reserve is a couple of kilometres up the road. You have to admit that the location is great!
This wonderful historic property and its' location offers those with imagination and opportunity to rebirth it into a fabulous new "destination" be it a reception centre/restaurant or a cottage foodie depot or any of the above, a la similar to Tyabb.
