Overview

1556 Booral Road, Girvan, NSW, 2425

Privately nestled on approximately 32 acres, this circa 1900's property known as "The Old Post Office" offers a rare opportunity in the MidCoast region. This beautifully restored timber and Colorbond residence perfectly blends heritage charm with modern comforts, creating a unique and inviting home.

The residence has been extensively renovated with great respect for its historical era and origins. It features preserved period details alongside thoughtful upgrades designed for relaxed country living. The property’s land presents a striking contrast, with about five acres maintained to a park-like standard, while the remaining acreage consists of natural timbered bushland, providing privacy and a serene environment.

Inside, the home boasts soaring ceilings ranging from 10 to 12 feet, complemented by hardwood floors and original detailing that evoke warmth and grandeur. The open formal lounge and dining area is centered around a striking double-sided fireplace, serving as the heart of the home and an inviting space for family gatherings and entertaining guests.

The country-style kitchen combines functionality with character, featuring stone benchtops, a farmhouse sink, and a freestanding dual oven and cooktop with a rangehood. This kitchen flows seamlessly into a light-filled sunroom, which opens through French doors onto the deck and surrounding landscape, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience. The wrap-around 9-foot bullnose verandahs extend the living space outdoors, offering multiple areas to relax, entertain, or enjoy the views across the grounds, including an extended deck and a swim spa area.

The accommodation includes four generously sized bedrooms. The bathroom pays homage to the home's heritage with a clawfoot slipper bath, exposed pipes and tapware, a chandelier, shower, and WC. A separate laundry is conveniently located off the verandah and includes a second WC for added practicality.

The land itself is impressive, featuring two dams and a seasonal creek line. Direct access to the adjoining National Park further enhances the sense of seclusion and lifestyle appeal, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers.

Additional features of the property include a new 15.5 kW reverse cycle Daikin ducted air-conditioning system, a 5.5 kW solar system, a new heat pump hot water system, two 25,000-litre rainwater tanks, an additional rainwater tank dedicated to the gardens, a double car garage with an adjoining carport, a fire pit, a feature wishing well, a vegetable garden, and a bird aviary.

This property is presented as a beautiful forever home but also lends itself naturally to an upmarket boutique bed and breakfast, capitalizing on its historic significance, setting, and charm. For those looking to personalize the property further, there is ample land to extend the existing residence or explore the potential for an additional dwelling or dual occupancy, subject to council approval.

Located in Girvan, the property is within easy reach of Stroud, Gloucester, and Bulahdelah, and approximately two and a half hours from Sydney. Nearby attractions include Karuah River Allworth (18 minutes, 20 km), Hawks Nest (40 minutes, 46 km), and Pacific Palms (55 minutes, 61 km).
