Steeped in history and regarded as one of the Blue Mountains' most treasured landmark residences, Closeburn House is a magnificent estate originally constructed in 1885 and thoughtfully expanded in 1991, seamlessly blending Victorian grandeur with the comforts and expectations of modern luxury hospitality.
Today, Closeburn House stands as a thriving five star boutique guest house and highly regarded wedding venue, offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity with an established income stream and outstanding scope for future growth. Live at Closeburn, and work as much - or as little - as you desire. Whether continuing to operate as an exclusive luxury weekend bed and breakfast, or expand into a full-scale wedding and catering venue, hosting corporate retreats, or establishing a destination restaurant, the infrastructure, presentation and inventory are already in place - and ready to realise your vision.
Set on approximately 5,246sqm of beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of historic Mount Victoria at the very top of the Blue Mountains, this extraordinary property has recently undergone an extensive and meticulous renovation, breathing new life into both the residence and its enchanting grounds. The result is a true turn-key offering, with no further capital outlay required and every detail carefully considered for its next custodian.
Beyond the striking façade, an oversized original stained-glass entrance door welcomes guests into a breathtaking foyer where soaring ornate ceilings, intricate period detailing and an impressive open fireplace immediately establish the home's timeless character. A dedicated reception office provides a professional arrival experience, while the adjoining library, complete with its own gas fireplace, offers an intimate retreat for guests to unwind with a book or quiet conversation.
Thoughtfully designed to balance commercial success with private living, the accommodation comprises a self-contained owner's suite featuring its own lounge, kitchen, bedroom, ensuite and seperate owners entrance, together with eight beautifully appointed guest suites, each offering the comfort and privacy of its own ensuite bathroom.
At the heart of the residence are a series of elegant guest spaces designed for both relaxation and celebration. A generous lounge, warmed by impressive double open gas fireplaces, creates a welcoming place for guests to gather, while the grand dining hall / restaurant showcases oversized windows framing picturesque garden views. Filled with natural light by day and glowing beneath fairy lights by night, the space comfortably accommodates large gatherings and special events of up to 80 guests, all enhanced by the ambience of a feature fireplace. Extending from the dining hall, the light-filled conservatory provides additional flexibility for entertaining, whether as expanded dining, relaxed lounge seating or seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto the surrounding terrace and gardens. A fully equipped oversized commercial kitchen (including commercial dishwashing room and walk-in cool room) and adjoining bar ensure the venue is perfectly appointed for boutique accommodation, weddings, catered events and private functions.
The gardens are every bit as captivating as the home itself. Spanning over 5,246sqm of level, sun-drenched grounds, the landscape has been lovingly restored to create an idyllic setting of sweeping lawns, mature rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and flowering cherry trees. Winding pathways, tranquil sitting areas and picturesque garden vistas provide countless places to pause, reflect and immerse yourself in the beauty of this remarkable estate.
Whether continuing its success as one of the Blue Mountains' premier boutique accommodation and wedding destinations or unlocking its next exciting chapter, Closeburn House presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Beautifully restored, rich in history and completely turn-key, this remarkable estate offers an exceptional combination of heritage, lifestyle and commercial potential that is rarely found.
