Perched on the edge of Thoona village overlooking the Warby Ranges is “St. Andrews”, a quintessential
Lifestyle Acreage that many dream about but are very rarely offered for sale. Just 20 minutes to
Wangaratta & Benalla and strolling distance to the local store, primary school & the Thoona Hotel – “St
Andrews” was built in 1901 from locally made bricks. The Anglican church was lovingly converted into a
family home in 1993 and has since evolved into a little piece of Tuscany – a heavenly haven! Magnificent
views of rolling hills, olive groves, in-ground pool and three brick-paved courtyards surrounding another
separate wing of rendered masonry. The two-storey building is in perfect harmony with the church and
incorporates a 3 car garage, games room, guest loft and working forge complete with bellows and anvil.
“St. Andrews” offers 3 Bedrooms plus a study, towering exposed beams & Gothic stained glass windows
with stone sills & wide polished floorboards which exude the character & warmth of yesteryear. You will
be delighted with the French Provincial kitchen/dining room, living room with open (gas) fire and mezzanine
master bedroom with views of Mt Meg and beyond. Nestled in a region renowned for it’s festivals,
snow season and local wineries such as Baileys, Booths and Auldstone, this unique property would lend
itself to a variety of endeavours such as Bed & Breakfast, workshop or Art Gallery. There is a vibrant Latin
Community nearby and the outdoor areas have been designed with entertainment in mind – from the
stone walled garden to the Bolivian Chiminea-oven under the grape-covered pergola, the property is a
feast for the senses.
Words cannot describe the warmth, character & romance this property exudes, inspection is a must – but
strictly by appointment only. “St Andrews” will be offered for public Auction on Wednesday 21st April.
