Bowning NSW 2582

Originally known as the 'Cobb & Co. Station Inn', this property was transformed into a private residence in 1876 and has been a cherished haven for families ever since. However, it was missing a vital element-the heart and soul of its original purpose. That's when the one-of-a-kind 'Rollonin Caf' came into being, thanks to the vision of the current owners. Inspired by the main house, the caf embodies the spirit of a bygone era, with a unique slab hut design that faithfully replicates local mid-1800s buildings. The walls are adorned with newspaper clippings dating back to the early 1900s, and the enchanting cottage garden envelops the caf. Relax with a cuppa or a glass of something in the rustic shed and let the worries of the outside world simply fade away, leaving you in a rural paradise.

For urban dwellers with a romantic heart, this is the opportunity to turn your tree-change fantasy into reality. The open spaces and relaxed lifestyle of Bowning are a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of city living. Bowning's rich historical legacy is cherished by locals and adored by visitors from across Australia and around the world visiting the Rollonin Cafe, and continuous bus loads visiting the caf it is a destination in its own right.

The beautiful historic home complete with acreage behind and the busy 'Rollonin Cafe', you'll possess a private sanctuary and an opportunity to run your own business unlike anything else for miles around. This property presents an extraordinary dual opportunity to not only just own a home but also a versatile building that can serve as a business or residence, an Airbnb, or any creative endeavor, all within the idyllic setting of Bowning. Don't miss this unique chance to embrace history, opportunity, and lifestyle, all in one remarkable package!

With all the amenities of Yass just a few minutes up the road and Canberra just under an hour's drive, this is living the dream. It's a reluctant sale but it's time for the owner to retire and downsize.
