Charming house and garden on four private green acres (1.623 ha) in scenic and sought-after Upper Lansdowne, yet only half an hour from Taree or Wingham. The tiny village of Upper Lansdowne is a vibrant and supportive community, focused around the Memorial Hall, a hub for music, drama, craft and food events.

Relax on the huge northern verandah and marvel at the ever-changing views – from the bird-filled rainforest edging of Koppin Yarratt Creek, across green paddocks, to the forested foothills of the spectacular sandstone bluffs of Lansdowne Escarpment, with imposing Mt Olive close by.
In sunshine, rising mists, gathering clouds or rainbows, at sunrise or sunset, this house is superbly sited to catch natural wonders. The owners’ Air BnB guests all marvel at the beauty, peace and charm of this house and its stunning setting. It’s the perfect indoor-outdoor home, with floor-to-ceiling glazing on most windows and verandah access doors to make the most of those views.

The current owner has created picturesque gardens, with ease of maintenance being the aim, planting many screening and bird-attracting plants like Lilli-Pillis and Grevilleas, as well as taller trees for koalas and birds, and fruits, vegetables and herbs for people! With Koppin Yarratt Creek as its eastern boundary, this block has both creek flat and sloping land. Fenced into two separate stock paddocks, it has electric fencing protecting the growing gardens and tree plantings surrounding the house.
