We have the privilege to offer this beautifully rejuvenated original limestone homestead, built by Rye's founding family, the Cain's, circa 1850. Lovingly restored and further enhanced by way of a modern extension, this home has all the charm of yesteryear with the modern comforts of the here and now. The homestead is reputed to have been the first stop out of Sorrento on the Cobb & Co coach line to Melbourne. It was later used as a temporary Church by the Rye Catholic community and a clubhouse for the Rye Golf Club. You will be in awe of the craftsmanship of the original home showcasing 11 ft ceilings, ornate cornices and original fireplaces. Large central living zones are the hub of the home, flowing to a sun room and across the rolling lawns to an alfresco cabana also boasting a fireplace and kitchenette, perfect for those balmy summer evenings.
