Ain't No Mountain High Enough

To keep me from getting to you....

Built in 1915 and relocated to this site 31 years ago, this home oozes character and charm. Iconic to locals for its distinctive turret and elevated position, it stands proudly at the top of a hill with vast panoramic views over lush countryside.

Over the years, the current owners have lovingly restored and enhanced the home, adding a private patio, established gardens, a grape-covered archway and even a tranquil water fountain. Step through the front door and you’re greeted by polished native timber floors and an immediate sense of warmth.

A staircase leads to the colourful turret room - a versatile, light-filled space that would make an inspiring art studio or a child’s dream bedroom or playroom. Downstairs are two further spacious bedrooms with those stunning north facing views, one featuring an entire wall of wardrobe space.

The oversized lounge is full of charm, complete with timber beams, a fireplace, wall heater, and heat pump. It opens outdoors in two directions: onto the wrap-around verandah and out to the sheltered patio. This patio is a wonderful private entertaining space. "If these walls could talk, they’d have some incredible stories to tell. From lively parties that echoed with laughter to nights filled with music and memories, this home has been a place of joy, celebration, and life well-lived."

True to the era of the home, the kitchen is tucked away, featuring a stained-glass window and full-sized pantry, it flows through to the dining room with a coal range (for aesthetics only) and a second heat pump. The bathroom, including a bath, is functional and in keeping with the home’s character.

Set on 1.5ha of gentle, fully usable land, the property includes one fenced paddock with space to create a second. There’s also a tandem standalone shed, chicken coop, and a selection of fruit trees.

Enjoy the views, the peaceful countryside setting, and the close proximity to motorway access - this is a special property ready for its next chapter.
