2752 Batlow Road

Kunama NSW 2730

It comprises both the house AND the schoolhouse, which is currently used as an artists studio, plus a newly constructed two bay shed / garage.
The old schoolhouse would make the perfect Airbnb or farm stay.

The cleared paddock beyond the house garden lends itself to a variety of uses. Plant it out to a fruit and nut orchard, grow cider apples for the commercial cidery just down the road, establish your own oak forest to produce truffles, or just run a few cattle or some horses for the kids.

The cosy cottage is surrounded by established gardens full of mature trees, flowering shrubs and bulbs.
Magnolias, Japanese maples, rhodendrons, azaleas, daffodils and tulips, boronia and Dutch iris create a colourful and peaceful place to relax.

Inside, the cottage currently offers 2 bedrooms and a sunroom, however this could be reconfigured to 3 or 4 bedrooms without increasing the current footprint, or extend it even further to include a north eastern deck to take in the magnificent views across the valley, all the way to the Blowering escarpment. The home itself has a nice homely family feel.

Features of the house include:
New roof and insulation
New exterior painting
High ceilings
Slow combustion fire in lounge / dining area
Ducted central heating throughout
North facing eat-in kitchen with a fabulous Nectre Bakers Oven / slow combustion stove, plus electric oven, gas cooktop and new cabinetry - all renovated in 2019
All underhouse plumbing and stormwater management recently renewed
A spacious front verandah, shaded by magnificent Californian Redwoods

The picturesque Old School House also has a new roof, flued gas heating, and has been recently painted. It has soaring ceilings with full length windows down either side, making it a light and bright open space. Currently used as an artist's studio, it could offer a great space to establish a new work from home business, a yoga or therapy space, or perhaps renovate to create a separate holiday letting (STCA).

The possibilities of this property are endless!
And with the choice of Batlow (3kms), Tumbarumba (30kms) and Tumut (30 kms ) all within easy reach, you will have all the conveniences and essential services of town close by.
