Statement of Significance

Budgeree is significant to the Cardinia Shire for its long association with the Greaves family who were prominent in the Shire and beyond. It is also unusual as a brick 19th century house built on a selection in a district where timber was more common. The Greaves were known for their brick villas (see Warook Homestead) which is a further physical association with the family.

The former post office building has local historical interest as a former public building known by many in the community.

      This double-fronted face brick farm house is in an austere Italianate style, with a (new) return verandah and an hipped corrugated iron clad roof. At the rear is a gabled structure which is reputedly the former Yannathan bank & post office. It is a weatherboard gabled building sited next to a tennis court The former site of this structure is marked by a stone pine some distance from the property, north-east corner Caldermeade Road and Swamp Road.

      The house is set back from the road in open pasture. Planting includes remnant hawthorn hedges (better examples opposite); and a mature stone pine at the corner of Swamp and South Yannathan Roads (in property?) .
