Not because we can promise nuggets beneath your feet, but because opportunities like this are incredibly rare.
Set on approximately 3 acres in the heart of Victoria's famous Goldfields, this former Goldsborough State School No. 321, believed to date from circa 1882, is waiting for someone with vision to restore a remarkable piece of local history.
Let's be honest... this is a BIG PROJECT.
The original weatherboard school requires extensive renovation, including structural work, restumping and new flooring. It isn't for everyone. But if you know, you know!.
With imagination, commitment and the appropriate planning approvals, this could become one of the Goldfields' most unique homes, weekender retreats or lifestyle properties. ( Oh and money to do the transformation)

The property also features a demolished homesite, where impressive brick chimneys remain standing alongside an old laundry, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. A BIG clean up needed

A dam, lightly treed surrounds and open clearings complete this unique country setting. There is significant clean-up required throughout the property, creating a blank canvas for the next chapter.
