Description

A rare fusion of history, scale and lifestyle — this is more than a residence; it is a landmark estate on nearly 2.5 acres in one of the Southern Highlands’ most tightly held villages. The owners have completed a passionate restoration honouring its 19th-century provenance while delivering uncompromising contemporary comfort with an extension, workshop, tennis court, horse paddock and rear lane access. 

HOMESTEAD c1850
Picture a past ere, when horse drawn carriages pulled up alongside the sandstone verandah and admire the brickwork laid in the highly regarded Flemish Bond pattern. Step through the threshold and into the hallway with almost 12 ft ceilings and the original hardwood floor as robust today as it was 170 years ago.

The Hallway leads to four light-filled bedrooms, including a gracious main suite with walk-in robe and private ensuite. A luxurious family bathroom features a freestanding bath.

A seamless extension open to a large open plan living dining and kitchen sit on solid spotted gum flooring laid over an insulated slab, providing warmth and durability. High ceilings and generous proportions, the dining and living flow effortlessly to multiple alfresco entertaining areas — both covered and open — overlooking established gardens and sweeping lawns.

The gourmet kitchen is appointed with a Falcon electric dual oven and six-burner cooktop, stone benchtops, twin sinks, dishwasher, and an impressive walk-in pantry with bespoke timber shelving. The adjoining laundry opens directly to the wraparound verandah.

The restoration includes new roofing, ceilings, electrics, plumbing, and custom hardwood Evalock doors and windows throughout, with double glazing to the front façade.

COTTAGE c1844

• Separate bedroom and bathroom
• Kitchenette
