Tucked amongst the trees midway between Leura and Katoomba, this much-loved two bedroom, one bathroom brick cottage feels like a little slice of country life, private, peaceful and wonderfully removed from the everyday.
Once part of a dairy farm, the property still carries a lovely sense of its country past. Full of warmth and character, the cottage feels like a gentle step back in time, with generous rooms, high ceilings and large picture windows framing the surrounding greenery.
A welcoming entry sets the tone, offering a flexible space that works equally well as a study or second sitting room, complete with an open fireplace. From here, the home leads through to the open-plan living and dining area, where a slow combustion fire adds another layer of warmth and country charm.
At its heart, the country-style kitchen with gas range sits comfortably alongside the living spaces, while French doors open onto an entertaining deck taking in the treed surrounds and elevated valley outlook beyond, a wonderfully private place to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the changing light through the trees.
Outside, an intimate front courtyard and established gardens surround the cottage, adding to the feeling of seclusion and sanctuary. Solar panels and water tanks provide practical additions to the home.
Adding something particularly special is the adjoining separately titled property, also available for sale. For more than four decades, the two properties have been enjoyed together by the current owner, creating a wonderful little country holding in the heart of the Mountains.
The adjoining land has been lovingly established as an orchard and garden escape, with apples, pears, quinces, plums, lemons and berries. Chook sheds, water tanks and mature gardens add to its country character, creating somewhere to potter, grow and pick your own produce, keep a few chooks and enjoy a quieter, simpler way of life amongst the trees.
The properties are being offered separately, with the opportunity to purchase both and continue the lifestyle that has been created and enjoyed here for so many years.
Peaceful and private, yet conveniently positioned between Leura and Katoomba, this is a true cosy Mountains cottage with a genuine connection to its country past and a rare opportunity to create your own little slice of the good life.
