This unique and secluded property is the perfect getaway.
With easy 2WD access, barely 2 hours from Sydney and just 10 minutes from the cafes, restaurants, schools and community facilities of Laguna and Wollombi, this north facing, off-grid weekender on its quiet hillside location reflects slow living at its best.
Set on 40 acres (16.18ha) bordering Yengo National Park, this property includes three cleared flat valley areas (one creekside), walking tracks and plenty of parking, offering great potential for eco-tourism such as tiny houses, glamping, artist retreats or Air BnB accommodation. For over 20 years this property has been an artist's studio retreat. The main building – a generous 100m2 cabin – comprises a large open plan living space with central combustion stove fireplace, two light filled bedrooms, spacious bathroom and kitchen with bespoke features such as benches made from the reclaimed floorboards of a Sydney warehouse.
Cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows plus vintage stained-glass windows feature throughout plus floors of red gum timber salvaged from a vineyard homestead and reclaimed Sydney bricks all giving unique character and light to this beautiful retreat.
The brick-paved outdoor area, accessed from the kitchen through retro bi-fold french doors, offers the perfect entertainment space for meals with family or friends as well as opening up a spacious indoor/outdoor dining experience. Being undercover it also offers the option to extend or enclose to provide more indoor space if necessary. The outdoor bath & shower are a 'must have' in these beautiful surroundings.
A separate 20sqm eco-build studio offers additional space suggesting a yoga studio, home office or extra bedroom/sleepout. There are also 2 storage sheds plus double bay woodshed for tools, equipment and firewood.
The main open plan cabin is off-grid solar with ample battery storage plus back up generator, reliable internet (ADSL), gravity fed gas hot water, a landline phone and x3 9000L water tanks. To the west, one tank feeds excess water into a dam which provides a vital resource for yabbies, turtles, lyrebirds, wallabies and more. It's also the most beautiful place for a glass of wine in the evenings.
The garden includes flowering natives, established fruit trees, raised vegetable beds and chook shed offering a sustainable, self sufficient lifestyle. There is also a fire pit seating area overlooking the natural amphitheatre from the ancient rock shelf – perfect for dark sky star gazing free from city light pollution.
This turnkey weekender property is unique in its location, privacy, building and infrastructure. Escape from the city to a place where you can feel unplugged yet connected. Let the Wollombi Valley community provide you with local produce, art and culture as well as a sense of belonging.
