The original homestead at Mount View was built in the 1890s by a pioneer family. It was tastefully transformed into a contemporary residence by architect John Mainwaring, and successfully blends the old with the new.

The home was awarded the Royal Australian Institute of Architecture Commendation, and would be suitable for a variety of uses, including health resort, wedding venue, or simply as a country retreat.

The property runs along a ridge down to the Mary River, and has spectacular views to the mountains.

The main house has four bedrooms, and there are two extra bedrooms in the guest house. The homestead's high ceilings and northerly aspect create bright and spacious interiors.

The kitchen looks over the free-form pool, and out to views of the bluff. The vast grounds include a series of interconnected pavilions, which provide social connectivity, but also space for private sanctuaries and communion with nature.

The guest house is in one pavilion, and the others house an office/studio and a workshop. The property has its own dam and bore.

Contact Jez McNamara on 0427 270 280 to arrange an inspection. The auction will be held on 24 July.
