From its freshwater creek that flows year-round to its walk-to-everything convenience and forest edge locale, you’ll fall in love with this enchanting slice of hills history that blends period allure with contemporary elegance via a beautifully sympathetic renovation. Housed on a lavish 2210m2 allotment with the lull of Clematis Creek at the boundary creating a sense of serene privacy and natural wonder, your Zen retreat is just footsteps from the bustle of the village, Puffing Billy, Kilik Handcrafted Rum distillery and the Micawber Tavern as well as being immersed in a wonderful local community.

Enhanced by an impressive array of period attributes from beautiful high ceilings, ornate fretwork, sash and casement windows, gleaming Baltic floors and French doors - the circa 1915 “weekender” era is evident with beautiful modernisation offering a distinct family offering for the now.

Encased by a garden wonderland with 100-year-old plantings of Japanese Maples, camelias, rhododendrons and Chinese Holly Grapes, there are an array of meandering pathways leading to multiple fire pit zones where you can sit under starry skies and talk long into the night. The young and the young at heart will be enchanted by the freshwater creek where you can set up a permanent hammock and retreat to your own private oasis. Wonderfully cathartic and magical with lush tree ferns adding to the ambience - you may also spot a lyrebird, swamp wallaby or echidna that have been known to amble by.
