Last Listing description (August 2023)
Set upon a picturesque 10.73 hectares (approx. 26.51 acres) of Australian bushland with surpassing views of the surrounding mountain tops and valley floor below, this unique baked clay brick home sits between colonial homestead and artist’s retreat. An intriguing bushland oasis, in the spirit of Norman Lindsay’s cottage, offering something you would expect the bards of the bush to memorialize in poetry. The current owner prides herself as the custodian of the land and owner of this architectural masterpiece that has been created and designed from the heart within!
Built to embrace you as soon as you open the front door and walk through the entryway! Beautiful hardwood timber floors (Rosewood, Mahogany & blue gum) compliment the 10ft high ceilings. Rounded hearth brickwork adjoins the hallway to the living areas. The craftsmanship and architecture ties in together perfectly, creating a feeling of yesteryear where bold pioneering spirits built majestic sophistication in the wilds. Walk through French doors to the Eastern expanse of the three-sided wraparound verandah, taking advantage of stunning misty sunrises and birdsong sunsets from every room. The outlook of this rural property takes your eye to the horizon.
Open plan living and dining areas benefit from a crackling fire place (An Osburn 3000) and take in the ambiance of the bushland & mountain views from the great outdoors. Gorgeous timber windows and 10-inch skirting boards enhance the cosy red brick interior. The dining area opens into the Oregon wood kitchen, fitted out with a free-standing gas stove, natural timber benches with stainless steel splashbacks and a corner walk in pantry. An island bench and breakfast bar frame the doorway to the Northern side-verandah, drenched in sun through the day. The perfect coffee spot. Three bedrooms & home office/library are located to the southern end of the house with the master bedroom having a walk-in robe and French doors onto the Eastern undercover verandah. Relax in a well-designed bush inspired bathroom, offering a clawfoot bath/shower and toilet. Full of design & character, this home has the ethos of a modest Australian, Georgian country manor!
Both front and rear verandahs have been constructed from beautiful hardwood and brick. A sparkling swimming pool has been strategically positioned alongside the decking and provides a place to cool down in the summer months. A billabong of reflection on the ridge. Somewhere to unwind & wonder which birds are singing in the gentle symphony of sounds morning and night. This really is Australian living at its very best! The vistas of the night sky are truly amazing, if you love to indulge in night gazing then you will most certainly be entranced. Meander your way down a rock path through the native fauna and flora to a dam; a meeting place for wildlife.
Out buildings include a rustic bush studio/garage which has many possibilities! This space is semi self-contained with living and bedroom spaces and its own kitchenette.
