842 Watagan Creek Road, Laguna NSW 2325

Tightly held by the same owner for over 50 years, this ‘one of a kind’ timber cottage is full of character and charm, surrounded by beautiful established gardens and a scenic rural outlook. Once a school for the local area, the property has a joyous history and homely feel, if only the walls could talk!

Set upon approximately 2-acres (8052sqm), the leafy grounds have been thoughtfully designed with pathways through the gardens and many quaint sitting areas to observe the beautiful flora & fauna around the acreage, including prolific birdlife attracted by the seasonal flowers. Extensive vegetable gardens and mature fruit trees provide the means for a sustainable country lifestyle with fresh produce straight from the garden.

Stepping inside the house, you will appreciate a cozy feeling provided by the timber features, double paned windows and slow combustion fireplace centred in the living room. A walk-through galley style timber kitchen includes a large walk-in pantry, gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher space. The kitchen adjoins a spacious living room on one side and the light-filled dining room on the other, with high ceilings throughout. The dining space has lovely French doors opening onto a stone paved terrace with a gorgeous valley view filtered through the gardens. Two bedrooms each have walk-in wardrobes and there is a separate study/office space. The main bathroom has a large clawfoot bath perfectly positioned under the window with a private garden view. A second bathroom and an internal laundry complete the picture inside.

A separate studio is hidden at the back of the acreage, which could be a great work from home space, kids’ games room or extra accommodation for guests. There are multiple storage sheds and a carport near the house to cater for the equipment required on a small acreage.

Services to the property include mains power, tank water (2 tanks, approx. 50,000L total), reverse cycle air-conditioning, landline phone connection, satellite internet & tv, bottled LPG gas and easy 2WD access from a council-maintained road.

Traveling from the city is an easy drive of around 90-minutes’ (from Wahroonga/Sydney), making the property ideal as both a weekender and permanent residence.
