Enjoy a feeling of being a whole world away from the hustle and bustle of today's life. Through the rustic rural farm gate clearly signed 'Wombat Cottage' a road winds down through native timbers until, not knowing what to expect, you reach a quaint handcrafted stone cottage. As you step out of your car, you are invited by the calls from native birds, the whisper of the trees and the sounds from the flowing Jerrabattgulla Creek.
Entering the cottage, the 'Australian bush' theme follows. With unique handcrafted finishes throughout, the cottage is constructed from stone sourced from the property and features rustic timber woodwork, an unusual concrete floor with exposed timber rounds and an exposed beam raked ceiling.
The cottage features a central kitchen with terracotta tiled benchtops, a woodfired cooker, timber slab cupboards and timber splashback as well as a gas cooktop and gas underbench oven. Through the kitchen, you find a multi use space that is filled with natural light and has superb views of the National Park through three large windows. A slow combustion wood fire provides warmth in the cooler seasons. An atmosphere of cosy comfort pervades the generously sized lounge room also fitted with a slow combustion wood fire. The bathroom with shower, bath & toilet showcases rustic timber woodwork. An outdoor enclosed gazebo offers a setting for quiet dinners in the cool of the evening, accompanied by the sounds of the water-feature garden.
One of the many highlights of the property include Jerrabattgulla Creek. A bush track leads from extensive park-like grounds to a 'sandy beach' on the banks of the creek. Plenty of swimming spots on the creek invite cooling off from a hot summer's day. The property's water is sourced from a natural mountain stream in the National Park, the water being gravity fed into tanks.
The vendors perfectly describe their rural escape as "a place to observe and enjoy nature, not just a house but a secluded paradise in another world where time slows".
