A stunning reimagining by renowned Tziallis Architects has transformed this century-old dairyman's cottage into a slice of contemporary magic. Set across five acres the home has been designed to operate either as two independent 3-bedroom homes or as one large six-bedroom family retreat.
The original cottage is the epitome of weatherboard charm and the beautiful Aga in the kitchen sets the tone: it oozes timber-lined traditional cosiness throughout. However, it is the newly built extension that takes the breath away. Heated polished concrete floors, endless glazing, soaring ceilings, cleverly designed retreat spaces and three gorgeous bedrooms plus a large, dedicated office provide contemporary glamour, comfort and spectacular views across rolling green hills to Burrawang and beyond.
Enjoy an integrated bar, a breezeway entertaining precinct flowing to the sparkling swimming pool and incredible kitchen facilities including a large butler's pantry. The double-sided wood fire provides cosy options for winter. Designed for excellent thermal efficiency and crossflow ventilation, covered verandas and louvres are a feature. With ultimate privacy and an elite address, this bucolic retreat feels miles from anywhere, and yet you are located just eight minutes' drive to prestigious Frensham School and Mittagong, and approximately ten minutes to Bowral.
