The original Connewarre community hall, part of a semirural property at 1280 Barwon Heads Rd, Connewarre, presents a rare opportunity for buyers.
Buyers can use their imaginations to envisage the future of a Connewarre property that’s home to the township’s original community hall.
Most recently used for art classes, the weatherboard building was once a key gathering place that hosted weekly dances dating back to 1922.
It forms part of a 4047sq m rural parcel offered for sale with $900,000 to $990,000 price hopes at 1280 Barwon Heads Rd, Connewarre.

The property, which neighbours Danny O’Brien’s horse training facility, also comes with a three-bedroom California bungalow.
Jellis Craig, Barwon Heads listing agent Courtney Webster said the home had been relocated from Belmont in the late 1970s but was in need of renovation.
She said buyers could take the property in many directions by breathing new life into the historically significant hall, now known as ‘Hausen Halle’, that sits alongside the residence.
The Calfornia bungalow is ready for a renovation.
Not many people even know the hall exists as the property is privately set behind established trees.
A builder who specialises in heritage renovations is among those have expressed early interest in the site.
“The actually hall itself has still got the original Tasmanian ash wooden floorboards but it definitely needs some TLC and some love,” Ms Webster said.
“The windows have been blown out and there’s vines growing in the windows.
“It’s surrounded by Danny O’Brien’s property so you are surrounded by horses and really lovely views.”
The property also comes with a sizeabke shed suitable for machinery.
She said the home, which had been in the same ownership since the 1980s, had two living areas and three bedrooms.
The unusual offering in the tightly-held semirural locale has already attracted a large number of inquiries.
Connewarre’s proximity to Barwon Heads, a six-minute drive away, has seen it stakes as a lifestyle acreage destination rise considerably in recent years.
PropTrack data shows the median house price has jumped 29.7 per cent over the past three years to $2.075m.
