Imagine having the golden opportunity to build your dream home in private countryside bliss, on 30 acres only minutes from all the amenities of Blackheath. This unique property has been in the same hands for decades – larger parcels like this rarely come on the market and are tightly held in this area. Nestled in the heart of the rural enclave of Shipley Plateau, surrounded by orchards, bushland and escarpments, Bonnie View is aptly named. Enter via a long drive through forest that sweeps into the gently sloping, north facing, amphitheatre-like, main paddock with a wide vista across to the cliffs of Centennial Glen to Blackheath township and Mt Boyce beyond, framed by century old cedars. (Some clearing of boundary-line pines would open up the view further, taking full advantage of the glorious outlook onto sunset-lit cliffs). Historically, the property was once an apple orchard and part of a collection of food basket’ farms that supplied the thriving local tourist towns of the early C20th. Remnants of this time include a rustic apple packing shed and an original stone farmhouse wall, lending the property a charming sense of a time all too soon forgotten. Recently the property has been used for horse agistment on the mostly cleared acreage, and as an inspirational work space for several sculptors. The property is rustically fenced and has a round horse pen, plus easy access to the southern boundary road via both paddocks. Huge stands of cedar and deodar (planted early last century) provide shelter from prevailing winds and provide deep summer shade for livestock. Just up the quiet country lane is the spectacular lookout of Mt Blackheath, a renowned jump off point for gliders.
