RURAL SANCTUARY

Spectacularly beautiful and absolutely serene, this calm rural property constructed circa 1878 is the iconic old Hartley Vale schoolhouse set in tranquil surroundings beneath the sandstone cliffs of the Blue Mountains. Here a private oasis awaits impressing at every turn with superior craftsmanship, sprawling views and a historical aesthetic that pairs stories of yesteryear with laid-back style.

Raising the bar on countryside luxury, this exquisite old schoolhouse and tuckshop boast a suite of premium accoutrements and an enviable architectural layout crafted around its history and peaceful setting for the ultimate in rural stays. Being among just 15 homes in Hartley Vale #348 is one of the most privileged.

Hartley Vale Public School - c1878; Set between the original school bag hooks and chalkboard, the oak flooring emphasises the expansive open-plan central living zone. While upstairs, a loft bedroom provides the perfect zen space; open the curtains and let the sun in as you enjoy the view down the property to the water.

The old school is an austere beauty with an imposing steeple roof and immense sandstone foundations. The thick brick walls are cool in summer and retain heat in winter. The high ceiling school room has a lavish wood fire. Tall casement windows catch views of the surrounding escarpment and bush in the living area.

The kitchen is a rustic epicurean kitchen designed for baking from the heart and delighting even the most fastidious entertainer. The gas stove sets the scene for the rest of the tastefully appointed schoolhouse, with an easy nostalgic ambience. The cool aqua weatherboard bathroom is enticing and beautifully finished, including a clawfoot bath and old English tapware.

The Tuckshop; is a tastefully converted cabin. This magnificent space stays true to the architecture of its origins. It was brought to Hartley Vale by the Scouts and now makes the perfect place to enjoy the valley views and wildlife.

Peaceful and private the one-bedroom cabin includes indoor spaces crafted from local mountain ash. Recycled hardwood is renewed outdoors as a deck that seamlessly flows into the garden. A modern functioning outhouse created from the original Victorian boys' brick outhouse includes a gorgeous cedar lined tin roof, old beams, toilet, vintage sink and a shower.

The tuckshop is a beautifully simple space where you or your guests can sit on the large deck and stare at the escarpment until your heart and mind are at peace once more.

The valley is sheltered from the strong winds on the plateau and off the beaten track. The property is a lovely place to experience the seasons from winter frosts and fogs to spring blossoms in the orchard. While the picturesque dam and apple, plum and quince orchards provide joy year-round.

The mature gardens are for days and nights spent enjoying outdoor spaces. There is a range of pondering points, including under the willow trees, the ancient pine tree, or any outdoor cooking locations.

The old school and tuckshop are a unique window into rural NSW railway and coal mining history. It's a world away but not isolated.
