Victorian Americana barn: trophy barn listing
Alistair WalshMay 28, 2013

An American mid-west style barn-cum-house in a semi-rural location remains on the market after being listed for more than a year.

The Americana dream house in Garfield, 70 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, was listed for sale by a vendor with a passion for all things Americana.

He built the house at 440 Fourteen Mile Road, which is ideal for horse owners, on top of a barn in classic American style.

Upstairs is a four-bedroom residence with timber floorboards, dark-tiled bathroom and a large kitchen for large American meals.

LJ Hooker agent Graeme Dimsey had been expecting to sell the property for $1.3 million on its initial listing. The price is curently undisclosed.

In January it was listed for rent at $600 per week, according to RP Data.

Much of the wood used on the property is reclaimed timber from a jetty in Queenscliff.
