1412 Mount Darragh Road, Lochiel NSW 2549

• Completely private, natural hideaway
• Low maintenance cottage
• 3.24 hectares of secluded bush

Immediately after turning off Mount Darragh Road, a babbling creek with a leafy canopy set the scene for the peace and tranquillity of this private bush hideaway - only 15 minutes' drive from Pambula.

Tucked into a sheltered valley, this property is just over three hectares (nine acres) of natural bush with a large, cleared parcel surrounding the home. The charming one-bedroom cottage is neat as a pin and has been freshly painted and renovated throughout. It's filled with light and sunshine all day with numerous inviting spots to soak up the sun and enjoy the peace and quiet.

The cottage has excellent R4 rating insulation in the walls and ceilings meaning it's incredibly comfortable whatever the weather. The wood fire in the loungeroom is used only minimally in winter, however there is ample wood supply from the property's windfall trees.

This gorgeous cottage is filled with character and has lots of windows allowing you to watch the comings and goings of birds and wildlife in the garden and beyond from every room. The cottage has a versatile floor plan that easily allows for different room configurations and uses. There's a generous loungeroom, numerous other sitting/reading areas, a quaint balcony and a large sunny dining room that feels like you're sitting amongst the garden.

There's a functional bathroom and laundry at the rear of the (almost) attached garage, and an outdoor drop toilet that requires zero maintenance and offers mesmerising views over the garden. The abundant garden wraps around the house encouraging birds and bees to the property. There are established fruit trees and a self-sustaining vegetable garden with a hot-house for extra-long, home-grown tomato seasons. Three rainwater tanks provide gravity-fed house and garden water.

There's a large, lock-up Colourbond garage and an extra-large carport extension with space for three more cars. The solid, well-maintained driveway (partially shared with an adjoining property) means the property is 2WD accessible in all weather.

There's good stock-proof fencing meaning this property is ideal for horses or a couple of head of small livestock, however it can also be left empty allowing the native wildlife to roam. There's peaceful meandering bushwalking tracks and beautiful sandy swimming holes in the fresh water of Seven Mile Creek which winds its way along the edge of the property.
There's no phone service at this property allowing you to completely switch off from the busyness of modern life, however there is good SkyMesh coverage if you choose to connect.

An easy three-hour drive from Canberra, and only 15-minutes' drive from charming Pambula village, this property would be ideal for those searching for a quaint, low-maintenance weekender not far from the coast. The beautiful Goodenia Rainforest walk is also only a five-minute drive away.

Enjoy the peace and quiet and relish in the simplicity of watching the wallabies and birds from your own little hideaway on your private slice of bush.
