Price Guide $1,950,000 - $2,145,000
"Fellowdale" was originally a dairy worker's cottage built over 80 years ago. Hidden down a leafy country lane, approached from a bridge over a dam & sitting in an elevated position on 45 acres of lush pasture, a prettier, private & more peaceful place would be hard to find.
Walk down the shady Wisteria covered pergola, along the sandstone pathway into the friendly farm-house kitchen with its huge open Sandstone fireplace & time-worn timber floors. Feel at home in this comfortable, unpretentious property; much improved & extended down its long history & now a wonderfully eclectic mix of traditional & modern style & design.
The kitchen has recently been updated with Caesarstone benchtops & features a Bosch dishwasher & plate-warmer, free standing Belling electric stove & a Vintage Rosieres solid fuel range; wonderful in winter for slow cooked casseroles & great as a backup to the modern electric hot water system, just in case!
The large family room with its extensive views over the surrounding countryside has been the location for many happy family gatherings. A modern addition to the traditional cottage, this room has raked ceilings, underfloor heating & a large open fireplace & has been specifically designed to make the very best of the paddock views.
As a contrast, there is the cosy & intimate sitting room with a slow combustion wood heater. This smaller space is North-facing & soaks up the best of the day's sunshine. The extensive shelving is just the place to keep your book collection & you will want to curl up in this charming & sunny room with your favourite best seller.
The main bedroom is charm personified with delightful garden views. The modern ensuite has underfloor heating & there are plenty of built-in robes. The 3 secondary bedrooms are all of good size, one is currently used as an office & the other two in the older part of the house have that feeling of old world charm, with high ceilings & an original leaded light panel above the French Doors. These two bedrooms are adjacent to the family bathroom.
"Fellowdale" is not just a pretty place to escape & relax, it is also a successful hobby farm; originally old dairy country the land has been well cared for & pasture improved, with good fencing & lane ways & quite capable of running 20 head of cattle. The rural infrastructure includes:
• 6 paddocks, all watered with troughs
• 3 dams
• Bore supplying potable water, with available test results
• 2 large water tanks
• Machinery shed, stable & tack room
• Cattle crush & race in good working order
And best of all, two original Bundanoon sandstone cool rooms; a reminder of days gone by & just waiting to be renovated & turned into guest accommodation, or artist's studios (stca)
Close to the coffee shops, primary school & transport hub of the popular village of Bundanoon "Fellowdale" would be equally ideal for the hobby farmer, horticulturist or equestrian as either a weekend retreat or a full-time family home. Farm-stay accommodation is also at a premium in this beautiful area & "Fellowdale" steeped in local history & close to the Morton National Park would be a popular weekend destination.
