This Magnificent Stone Homestead with splendid distant views on 86 acres is For Sale.
Owned by Archibald Prize winning artist Cherry Hood this property also features her huge art Studio.
Only two hours from Sydney this is one of those very rare opportunities to have you very own stone homestead with all modern conveniences. Only 18 years old there's not a penny to spend. The solid double cavity stone Homestead is warm in winter and cool in summer. Due to the clever orientation of this home, winter time sees the sunshine stream in the huge front windows. But, in summer not one ray of hot sun makes its way in.
Downstairs there are 3 lovely bedrooms with stone walls, French doors and built in wardrobes. Upstairs there's a huge bedroom / sitting room, approached from a wide mezzanine area, this bedroom has an large en-suite bathroom which includes a spa bath. There's also a spacious walk in wardrobe and TV facility. The opposite east west gable windows offer lovely views and cross breeze for summer plus there air conditioning.
Back downstairs there's bathroom, with a bath, shower and toilet, plus there's a separate toilet nearby.
The living room is a huge open plan room with the kitchen at the eastern end enjoying morning sunshine.
The atmosphere of this breathtaking room is enhanced by a large slow combustion heater. The wonderful timber lined cathedral ceilings are supported by a huge tree trunk which has been naturally decorated by beetles which carved wonderfully intricate squiggly patterns all over its surface.
The stone interior walls, which stretch up 7 metres into the gables, are studded with quartz Crystals!
All the stone was found here on this property.
It is completely quiet here with our lovely neighbours being out of sight and earshot.
The panoramic views are to the east. The homestead is set high (about 700 metres) on a hill with the beautiful Towrang valley laid out before it.
If you are ready to escape the rat race every weekend or want to make a tree change this place is perfect! It can be you own private residence with plenty of space for a large family, or it can be your home with a manager and an income or your home and a good retirement income.
Here's why! The big art studio has one 3 bedroom apartment, plus a new one bedroom apartment attached to it. Both are self contained with kitchens and bathrooms. This enormous building has several store rooms, an office, an upstairs room used for an office, and storage! The two apartments have verandas and are well separated from each other.
In addition to this Studio building there's a lovely Big Red Barn which houses a generous workshop one end and animals the other.
There are small sheds near this barn for wood storage and machines such as the generator, ride on mower and quad bike.
Then there's also a wonderful romantic timber barn, with three large stables and two big post and rail yards leading out from the stables. These have tall post and rail fences. This fantastic barn has a huge open space as well. There are stairs to a small mezzanine, a favourite with children.
The Homestead is surrounded by a lovely level garden which is fully fenced. Near the homestead is a huge garage which has a toilet and kitchenette. This oversized garage can hold 4 cars.
Just near the house yard are extensive built up veggie gardens and chicken coups.
Enjoy the absolute quiet, you'll never have to listen to your neighbours lawn mower again.
All this with the wonderful convenience of the historic city of Goulburn only 15minutes away.
