This is one bank you won\u2019t need to rob to get inside the vault.<\/p>\n

\n

A rare Southern Highlands property used as a commercial bank for close to 80 years has hit the market after being converted into a residence and hotel.<\/p>\n

The building on Main Rd in Mittagong has retained all the hallmarks of its former life as a bank \u2013 including the old vault and customer counter.<\/p>\n

There is also a circa 170-year-old one tonne steel vault door but rather than keeping money safe it currently controls access to the hotel\u2019s wine collection.<\/p>\n

The rare wine cellar converted from the old vault could also be used for other purposes.<\/p>\n

The property is currently listed for sale with expectations of about $4.9m.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fair shot above the \u00a32840 pounds the property was built for in 1892.<\/p>\n
