History
Set across 40 beautiful acres, Narellan feels like stepping into another era, where tree-lined approaches, open paddocks, and a homestead anchored in time tell a story that's still unfolding. Built in the late 1880s from rare handmade bricks on bluestone foundations, it stands as a property of local heritage significance, shaped by generations who worked and cared for the land. From its years as a dairy through to grazing country, and a thoughtful restoration in 2004, what remains today is a place that's been carefully preserved and gently evolved, where original craftsmanship still defines the home and the land continues to produce.
The Homestead
The four-bedroom Victorian homestead stands with presence in the landscape. The verandah wraps around three sides, a place that invites slow mornings, long lunches, and evenings that stretch with the light. Inside, 12 ft ceilings lift the rooms, six-inch sugar pine floors carry a soft warmth underfoot and original detailing, including decorative cornices, reflects the craftsmanship of another time. Three Italian marble fireplaces anchor the home, including a rare black marble piece in the dining room. The kitchen holds onto its 1950s roots, simple, honest, and full of character, where a wood stove, timber island, and wide window make it feel like the heart of the home, taking in views of the garden and overlooking the pool and tennis court.
Infrastructure and grounds
A tree-lined driveway of 32 silver maples leads you in through electric gates, shifting with the seasons, green in summer, gold and amber through autumn. Around the home, expansive lawns, dry stone walls, a rose garden, and a 20-tree apple orchard add colour and texture, the landscape changing quietly month to month. Eight paddocks, a fully equipped bore, and three dams keep the land well-watered, while a silo, chook yard, and an 18 m x 9 m machinery shed with 3 phase power give you the ability to run it your way. Then there's the lifestyle layer. A saltwater pool sits just beyond the home, while the all-weather tennis court brings its own energy - mornings courtside, long afternoons that drift into evenings poolside.
All of it sits just 10km from Millthorpe and 20km south of Orange, close enough for a good coffee or a long lunch, far enough that when you're home, it feels like nowhere else.
