397 Mutton Falls Road

Tarana NSW 2787

Built in 1860 by Richard Mutton for the Webb family, Mutton Falls was originally used as a farmhouse and dairy and has a wonderfully colourful history.
One of its original residents was Anne Webb (sister of Richard Mutton) who raised her 5 children there and managed a general store on the main route to Bathurst. Their rural store was unsuccessfully held up on more than one occasion including in 1867 when bushrangers Larry Cummins and John Foran got more than they bargained for from the resourceful Webb family.
More recently, the homestead has been lovingly restored with so much character and careful consideration and for several years it was utilized as a bed and breakfast and events space. Its current owners have added many modern luxuries to the home including beautiful furnishings, heating, watering and security systems and used it as much loved country retreat.
Set on 1 acre of sweet country garden, Mutton Falls continues to envelope its visitors in beauty. The character-filled main homestead features 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (both with claw foot baths). There is now a wonderfully cosy lounge and enormous fireplace where the old kitchen once stood. The kitchen is highlighted by a large wood burning stove and a wonderful timber island bench. French windows stream in the sunlight and look out over the herb garden and pebbled forecourt. The kitchen adjoins a large dining room ideal for family meals and dinner parties.
A magical feature of the property is the old dairy now set up as a barn and used by the current owners as a wonderful spot for parties with friends; birthdays and the odd super competitive table tennis championship play off!
There is also an old shed converted to a one car lock-up garage and workshop; a chook pen and a well that provides additional water for the beautiful country garden. The property is less than 50 metres from the Fish River and a magnificent row of Poplars announce its position and provide a picturesque outlook from the property.
Mutton Falls, located in Tarana, is 2.5 hours ftom the Sydney CBD and is now seeking some new custodians to add their own history and colour.
