Charming Country Home with Character, Comfort & a Unique Lifestyle Opportunity
Nestled in the peaceful village of Cawongla — surrounded by lush national parks, pristine swimming holes, and scenic hinterland — this much-loved property offers a truly exceptional lifestyle. For the first time in 22 years, this cherished local gem is being offered for sale.
Set on a generous, flood-free 2549m² allotment, the property combines the warmth of a country home with the unique charm of village life. With peaceful views of the surrounding landscape and ample outdoor space, it provides the perfect backdrop for a slower, more connected way of living.
The gorgeous timber home features a spacious deck, ideal for morning coffees, sunset drinks, or simply soaking in the serenity. Inside, you’ll find a cozy living space complete with a combustion fireplace, blending rustic charm with modern comfort.
Currently home to the Cawongla General Store — which includes a café, postal agency, and community hub — the property also presents the rare opportunity to live and work in one beautiful place. A commercial kitchen, wood-fired pizza oven, cold room, and established liquor license are already in place, offering flexibility for future use, whether you continue the current business, start something new, or convert the space into more residential comfort.
