Maldon’s former ‘Porcupine Township’ Pioneer Settlement has been listed for sale for the first time in a decade presenting a unique opportunity to purchase a piece of history.
Ed Carthew of Carthew Real Estate Bendigo listed the unique property last Thursday.
News of the impending sale went national on Sunday when the Today Show made a live cross to the property.
The sprawling 15 acre property features two cottages which have been converted into the main residence, seven motel rooms, a separate three bedroom residence which is ideally sited to act as a manager’s residence, a restaurant with kitchen and coolroom, separate laundry to service the accommodation and of course a glimpse into our colonial past – the Porcupine Township.
The township itself features its own pub, ‘Charlotte’s Barn’ – a barn which was actually relocated from the Moolort Plains and was utilised as a dance hall, a blacksmiths, printers shop, general stores, various huts, a doctors surgery, Cobb & Co headquarters and even a bowling alley! Many of the buildings still house the chattels and authentic shop displays that originally featured in the tourist attraction. See the Mail for the full story.
