38 Moore Street Rochester, VIC 3561

Located approximately 180 km north of Melbourne, the welcoming township of Rochester sits between Bendigo and Echuca and services a thriving rural and semi-rural community of around 3,200 residents. This is a rare opportunity to purchase both the freehold and leasehold of the well-established Rochester Post Office, complete with a comfortable solid brick residence on a generous 975m² block.
The Shop:
