"Mackereth's Hedon Farm" c.1865 - Home to Pioneer Pyrenees Wine Maker
Positioned just 2 kilometres from Avoca’s High Street, "Mackereth's Hedon Farm" presents an exquisite blend of history and contemporary living on a picturesque 5-acre estate. Originally established circa 1865 by Edwin Mackereth, a pioneer of Pyrenees winemaking, this extraordinary property retains its rich heritage while embracing modern updates. A secondary residence, c.1900, was relocated from St Arnaud in the 1990s, and the grounds now feature vineyards re-established in 1999, echoing the property’s winemaking legacy.Main Residence: This charming timber home with an iron roof and wrap-around verandah features two additional living spaces, including an informal lounge/library and an air-conditioned, open-plan kitchen and dining area complete with a butler’s pantry. Three bedrooms lead off the central hallway: the master suite with ensuite and built-in robes, a guest bedroom with built-in robes, and a single bedroom or study. An adjoining laundry block includes a family bathroom, an additional shower room, toilet, and ample storage.
The Cottage: Retaining its original iron roof, this cottage exudes rustic appeal with modern comforts. The open living and dining areas feature two wood fireplaces, original split-post roof structure, and terracotta-tiled floors. Two thoughtfully refurbished bedrooms with timber floors, a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a cozy snug with an open fireplace further enhance the charm. The original kitchen features brick floors, a bread oven, and an early 1900s oven. The property also comes with a limited renewable liquor license.
Outdoor Amenities: French doors open from the kitchen to a sprawling entertainment area, complete with a fenced in-ground swimming pool, newly updated decking, and a pergola. The meticulously maintained grounds feature established gardens, a rear paddock, mature olive trees, and a large, versatile shed (9m x 12m) on a concrete slab with power, a family bedroom, bathroom, and four roller doors.
Location & Amenities: The appealing small town of Avoca, with a population of 1,200, lies just 26 kilometres from Maryborough's shops and train station and 70 kilometres from Ballarat. Amenities include Bendigo Bank, a bakery, post office, sports grounds, swimming pool, Turf Club, art gallery, central gardens, cafes, Avoca Hotel, and nearby wineries.
