It would be perfect for a couple or extended family dreaming of interacting with animals, earning an income from home, or living on a country property only a few minutes from city conveniences.
The original homestead, filled with historic charm, dates back to the 1800s when the cottage and surrounding outbuildings were built using paddock stone and limestone. The 3 bedroomed cottage was continually updated as a family home and features a bathroom with clawfoot bath, an ensuite to main bedroom, cellar, and ducted gas heating. In 2009 it was faithfully restored & furnished as a museum and shop. An attached transportable building with modern kitchen amenities allows the cottage and garden to be used to host events, high teas and group tours. The cottage could be converted back to a family home, remain as a rare insight into the life of early European settlers, or offer a full-range, holistic family and couples' accommodation experience.
The main residence was built in 2020 with some intelligent architectural elements incorporated to ensure an eco-friendly brief was met. It uses solar passive design principles, recycled features and low maintenance building and garden design. The stunning home was designed to blend in and complement the surrounding environment and has enchanting rural views from every room. Two 'pods' created under the main roof with alfresco and car parking areas between provides visiting family or B&B guests a private bedroom and ensuite retreat or possible Granny flat.
