Pre-dating the goldrush and Federation, this superb house incorporates the original homestead of the Carlsruhe settlement.
In an elevated position, on over 39 acres (16ha), it has magnificent views to Mount Macedon, Hanging Rock and Mt Jim Jim.
Many prized features have been retained, including solid stone internal walls and Baltic pine flooring. The kitchen has sandstone benches, and a WI pantry.
There are four bedrooms, most with original working fireplaces, and several living rooms. An upstairs loft is charming.
The splendid garden has drystone walls, red gum post and rail fencing, an orchard and a fabulous in ground pool.
As a working farm, the property also has a barn, cattle yards, sheds, fenced paddocks and ménage.
Garth is a true rarity; a colonial jewel that also meets the needs of a 21st-century family.
