When built in 1883, “Annalong House” was the first house in NSW to be built of mud that was mixed with special oil, which was imported from England. This unique, construction method, helps such a large home maintain its temperature ambience throughout the year. With the assistance of the ducted reverse cycle air conditioning & insulation, it is an all-season’s proposition.

The property has had extensive renovations completed in recent times, which has balanced modern day living, whilst being empathic to a house that is over 140 years old. A brand-new roof & guttering has been installed on the house, whilst both exterior & interior of the house has all been repainted in recent times. New roofs have also been installed on all other improvements, meaning you just simply sit back & just enjoy this splendid proposition.
