Built circa 1889, this elegant 326sqm villa sits on 1.27ha of fertile volcanic land and was once a popular wedding venue. Rich in character with bay windows, French doors, vintage fireplaces, and multiple living areas, the home offers five double bedrooms plus a large study (or sixth bedroom), and bathrooms on both levels.
The country-style kitchen with Nectre wood stove opens to expansive decking, perfect for entertaining. Outdoors, enjoy English country gardens, a heritage orchard, raised veggie beds, stone walls, a 12m x 6m pool, spa, pétanque court, and even the original powered cowshed.
Extensive shedding includes an 8m x 15m workshop, lockable garages, and covered space for a motorhome or boat.
With bore water, tanks, paddock supply, hidden dog fencing, rural views, and privacy — Tara Lodge is a rare blend of history, scale, and lifestyle.
