A Feeling. A Lifestyle. An Escape

Some properties are easy to describe. Others are better experienced.

Tucked just off the Southern Scenic Route in Quarry Hills, on the doorstep of the Catlins, 6 Quarry Hills is a truly special property where local history, modern living and an incredible lifestyle come together.

Originally the Quarry Hills School, this beautifully transformed home retains the character and nostalgia of its past while offering warm, modern and inviting spaces. The main residence features two generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area designed for relaxed everyday living and entertaining.

Then comes the unexpected.

The former school swimming pool has been cleverly transformed into a fully self-contained one-bedroom retreat with kitchenette and bathroom — perfect for guests, extended family, Airbnb, a studio or simply somewhere to escape.

Set across approximately 5,290sqm, the established grounds offer space for gardens, hobbies, gatherings and projects, along with the original tennis court and multiple sheds.

But perhaps the real attraction isn't the floorplan at all.

It's the lifestyle.

Imagine slow mornings, weekends with friends, exploring the Southern Scenic Route, heading to beautiful Curio Bay, or simply enjoying the spectacular landscapes and slower pace of the Catlins.

This is somewhere to breathe, unwind and live a little differently.

A piece of local history. A beautifully considered home. And a lifestyle that you can feel the moment you arrive.

You don't just see yourself living here. You can feel it.
