Overview

"Claim a slice of History"

Step back in time into this unique opportunity and stake your claim on this traditional timber slab cottage in the heart of historic Wollombi Village. Sitting on a spacious 2,000 sqm block this circa 1820's cottage and original slab barn was once the village blacksmiths workshop that has gradually morphed into a variety of retail outlets as time progressed with a succession of owners adding their own inspiration and ideas to the development of the historic colonial village. The versatile RU5 Village Zone permits development for both residential and commercial purposes providing numerous opportunities for those wanting to contribute to the ongoing prosperity of the uniquely 19th centuty village. The original blacksmiths workshop (now known as the "Forge Gallery") currently offers a bewildering array of old wares, second hand and re-cycled merchandise, clothing, artifacts, artworks and rarities beyond imagination. The 2 bedroom cottage is as close to original as any you may find of this vintage and is set midway back in an elevated position on the block offering both privacy and a beautiful outlook over the picturesque village. It would be impossible to find a more central and convenient location to live in a country town with cafe's, a general store, the Wollombi Tavern and even a church or two all located within a 2 minute walk while still allowing for conversations with other locals you will encounter in transit to your destination. This is a rare and priceless opportunity to experience an era and lifestyle difficult to find anywhere else only 2 hours from the hustle and bustle of the city of Sydney. Be sure to check it out!
