Hidden away against the spectacular natural backdrop of Olney State Forest, this extraordinary 120 acre estate is a true rural retreat – a place where privacy, tranquillity and nature exist in abundance.
The property is approached via a private driveway, winding through a beautiful natural landscape of towering eucalypts and native Gymea lilies. With local wallabies often making an appearance along the way, the arrival immediately creates a sense of tranquillity and seclusion, making the property feel wonderfully removed from the outside world.
Expansive mountain and valley views, established gardens, rolling cleared spaces and untouched bushland create an incredible sense of seclusion, while the sheer scale of the estate provides the freedom and space to simply escape, unwind and enjoy the surroundings.
At the heart of the property sits a substantial double brick single level country homestead, thoughtfully designed for relaxed family living and perfectly suited to large or multi-generational households. Currently configured as a seven bedroom main residence that includes an indulgent two bedroom self contained area complete with its own living area, kitchen and separate entry. The home provides exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests or those seeking separate living quarters.
Rich in warmth and character, the interiors embrace their rural setting with exposed brickwork, timber ceilings, polished concrete and slate flooring, stained glass detailing and expansive windows framing the surrounding landscape. Multiple living areas provide places to gather or retreat, including two generous formal lounges enjoying picturesque outlooks, with one centred around a striking circular fireplace.
The huge character filled country kitchen forms a welcoming heart of the home, featuring timber cabinetry with brass hardware, exposed brickwork, a central island with gas and electric cooktop, built-in oven, stainless steel dishwasher and double sink. Stained glass windows, slate flooring and a timber lined ceiling add to its distinctive country charm.
The accommodation is equally impressive, highlighted by a luxurious master suite with private ensuite and direct veranda access. Three bathrooms feature travertine basins and quality finishes, while the home’s thoughtful layout provides an abundance of space for family and guests.
Outdoors is where the property truly comes into its own. Wide open spaces, mature trees, established hedges and sprawling lawns blend seamlessly into the surrounding natural bushland. Peaceful sitting areas are positioned throughout the grounds, complemented by a striking fountain and elegant statues, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a secluded country retreat.
A sparkling Inground swimming pool provides the perfect place to spend long summer days, while numerous alfresco areas invite outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting quietly and taking in the remarkable surrounds. A detached secondary dwelling, currently utilised as a games room and bunkhouse, adds another dimension with its own bar and balcony – an ideal space for entertaining away from the main residence, or additional accommodation for extended family or guests.
