Life would have been interesting for the 21 individual men and women ferry operators and their families, who have lived in the Punt House between 1900 and 1976. Imagine the stories they could tell.

Has village life on Chatsworth Island changed that much? It does not appear so. There is a similar number of homes with just the addition of a few new houses. The General Store still offers all the essential supplies and is a meeting place for villagers and farmers alike.

The River moves quietly by the tree lined avenue as you walk or drive along its banks. One can sit in the shade and relax in conversation, whilst experiencing the changing moods and reflections of this beautiful and timeless place.
Life in the village is enviable, no pressure just calmness. With the opportunity now available to purchase the Punt House you have the chance to escape the intensity of modern life and create a fabulous cottage or a new home overlooking the river.

Set on 1303 m2 the title extends to the mean high water mark. The timber cottage is original. Many will use it as it is, while others with flare and imagination will make it impressive and comfortable. A new septic system has been installed and is approved.

The Ferry approach, now a boat ramp, is beside the southern boundary and offers immediate river access for the fun of fishing, crabbing or just drifting.

The Punt House is sure to stimulate your imagination, with questions like “what if we owned it?”

Make sure you check it out, it’s a little beauty.
