The 3-bedroom home began its journey as the site of a simple schoolhouse back in 1895; that classic structure has been beautifully restored, refined and beautifully extended to create a homestead for a contemporary family's lifestyle.

“This is the perfect rural retreat with a tranquil setting that feels like its miles from anywhere,” Cathy Baker told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“The property is breathtaking from the moment the electric gates open. Driving up tree lined driveway, the perfectly renovated old school house surprises with its beautiful grounds and landscaped garden.”

“Once inside, the character and charm of the home’s originality paired with luxury fixtures and fittings is welcoming and comfortable, putting you immediately at ease,” Cathy explained.

“It feels like being transported into a luxury boutique hotel in the country where the walls could tell a million stories. The property can be enjoyed as a home or would make an ideal luxury holiday accommodation rental. The area is packed with trails, horse tracks, walking tracks and even a grass tennis court across the road for hire.”

The property also includes a fully self-contained two-bedroom wing that's perfect for guests or a versatile studio space which can be used as additional living space/home office.
