A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity – Own a Working Historic Bakery & Beautiful Country Homestead in Harcourt

 

Welcome to Blumes Historic Bakery—an extraordinary fusion of history, lifestyle, and business in the heart of Harcourt’s scenic food and wine region.

At the centre of this one-of-a-kind property is a fully restored Scotch Oven, one of the few remaining in commercial use in Australia. Steeped in charm and built into the very bones of the bakery, this oven is a working piece of history—and the dream of any serious baker or chef. Its cultural and culinary significance has even drawn the attention of UNESCO, who visited Blumes as part of Bendigo’s successful bid to become a City of Gastronomy.

Blumes is offered as a fully operational business, with a stunning commercial fit-out, premium equipment (including a modern deck oven), and a beautifully restored retail space. The business generates strong revenue from just one trading day per week, with brand recognition and enormous untapped potential for growth through extended trading hours, wholesale, destination events, and regional tourism.

Everything is in place—from council approvals to infrastructure and loyal customers—so the next owner can walk in and begin trading immediately. Fully trained staff available if necessary

Set on a prominent corner block just minutes from the Calder Freeway, the property also includes a charm-filled 4-bedroom residence, lush gardens, and multiple outbuildings—all with outstanding street presence and access.

There’s even space to explore a granny flat, guest accommodation, or creative retreat—under current Victorian regulations, these no longer need a planning permit (just a building permit), making future expansion both easier and more cost-effective.

The potential for expansion here is limitless. Oven baked pizzas in the evening, cooking classes, indoor dining experiences, this establishment is equipped for any and all culinary endeavours.

This is more than a business—it’s a legacy, built with care and ready for its next chapter. Whether you’re an artisan baker, seasoned chef, investor, or tree-changer with a vision, this is your chance to own a landmark.

Escape the city and build a future where lifestyle and livelihood go hand in hand—Blumes Historic Bakery offers the rare opportunity to live, work, and thrive in one of Victoria’s most iconic food destinations.
