Last Listing description (June 2021)

Unfolding its grandeur over 4.5 lush and private acres with only two custodians in 75 years, this remarkable former apple orchard circa 1900s has been lovingly restored and updated over the years to create a property that is rarely seen on the market. Stretching over two stunning titles this esteemed estate comprises three driveway entrances (two with electric gates), the original Victorian-era front fence and two original apple trees adding to its distinct heritage charm. The property not only offers a unique lifestyle or business opportunity and a rich history with a main residence and a cottage, but the potential to be an outstanding investment option for anyone looking to the future. Prestigiously located on prized Falls Road, the home is a leisurely 5-minute walk to the spectacular Olinda Falls and has Wallaby Creek as a boundary which leads to picturesque forest walks along the Mechanics Track.

Main Residence

The tri-level main residence boasts a commanding aspect overlooking the grounds and former tennis court. Originally built in the 70s, the home has been painstakingly renovated over the years resulting in a design masterpiece of grand proportions and offers the perfect balance between supremely comfortable living and refined elegance. Oozing French provincial style, a grand chandelier clad entrance, French windows, archways and streaming natural light set the scene for a chefs kitchen with breakfast bar lying at the heart of the home overlooking a casual meals zone. A large family room looks out to the alfresco terrace via a bay picture window and when its time to entertain you can step down to a formal dining room where the fine drops are stored. Upstairs is a study or home office nook on the landing which leads up to a second living zone for the teens to make their own. There are five beautiful bedrooms (two with ensuites) including a unique private retreat on the top floor comprising its own kitchenette, inspiring Juliet balcony and a restful sitting area so you only need to venture downstairs after breakfast. A chic family bathroom and powder room service the minor bedrooms. An incredible feature of the home are the two roofline balconies built on the top levels of the home for stunning views of the grounds, the valley and to Silvan Reservoir on a clear day. Youll love enjoying a glass of chilled bubbly up here! Furthermore, the home is made comfortable by ducted heating and split systems.
