Originally constructed in 1863 as the general store and post office at Willanthry, on the banks of the Darling River, this magnificent building was deconstructed and recreated in the upper reaches of the Yarramalong Valley. This beautifully restored cypress pine home retains the character and charm of its pioneering history and the drop-log construction is a superb example of true craftsmanship rarely found in the modern world.

The homestead features three large bedrooms, an ensuite with cast-iron claw foot bath, 14-foot ceilings, polished timber floors throughout and large verandas on the Northern and Eastern sides. The kitchen features locally-milled iron bark slab bench tops, and opens into the dining room with a slow combustion fire place and a historic Georgian 16-pane feature window. The lounge room is focussed around the large open fireplace, itself constructed from the original handmade sandstock bricks that once graced the entrance way to the original store.

With 4G and satellite NBN internet available you can stay as connected as you need to be, however this is truly the perfect setting to encourage you to relax, re-charge and inspire your inner passion for birdwatching, painting, enjoying the bushwalking trails or adding your own touch to the already established country gardens.

The homestead nestles against a backdrop of natural bush-rock formations and towering cedar and eucalypts; the pristine natural environment adds to the charm and ambience of this property. While predominantly bush acres, this property also has cleared pasture for a horse or two, an all-weather yard and shelter, three dams, established fruit trees, and reliable water supply and storage, including a fully-equipped freshwater bore and concrete rain water tanks

A very rare opportunity to be the next custodians of this part of pioneering Australian history is available for one lucky family.
