A grand home in Ballan in need of a lot of work has hit the market in an exceptionally rare sale. Especially since the property has been owned by the same family for 156 years.<\/p>\n

The Victorian era home at\u00a0140 Inglis Street, Ballan,<\/a> has been listed with price expectations of $1.4 million.<\/p>\n

The building was originally used as the post and telegraph office in the town, which was first settled during the gold rush in the 1850s, but later became a family home.<\/p>\n

It has been owned by the Flack family since being built in 1864, with vendor Philip Flack saying he had many happy family memories there.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy great, great, great-grandfather built it,\u201d Mr Flack said. \u201cIt\u2019s been in the family since then and was passed on to my great-grandfather, then my grandfather inherited it and then my father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought out my brothers so my wife and I could do something with it,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m the eldest so I was keen, because of the memories, to keep it in the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a lot of work to be done to fix up the home which has a heritage overlay, he made the difficult decision to sell.<\/p>\n
