Set high in the rolling green hills of Forest Reefs with sweeping views to Mount Canobolas, Old Curralea is a rare country offering where heritage, space and modern comfort come together effortlessly.
The circa-1935 double-brick farmhouse, resting on bluestone foundations, has been thoughtfully renewed to respect its history while embracing contemporary living. Original pressed-metal ceilings, polished timber floors, ornate fireplaces and cedar windows speak to its past, while generous proportions, natural light and careful updates ensure it lives beautifully today.
A classic bullnose verandah wraps the front of the home, perfectly positioned for morning coffee or sunset drinks as the light washes across the paddocks. Approached via a picturesque driveway, the home sits proudly on an elevated, level house yard a rare, highly usable setting ideal for children, gardens or future expansion as your family evolves.
Beyond the homestead, the land unfolds into approximately 18 acres, thoughtfully divided by excellent fencing into a large front paddock with dam and four additional stock paddocks, well-suited to sheep, cattle or horses. A productive, established orchard features heritage fruit trees including apricots, cherries, apples, pears and stone fruit, all supported by a reliable bore.
The shedding is a standout. The main lock-up shed has been cleverly fitted out with a wood fire, sink and full bathroom, creating a unique space for entertaining, celebrations or weekend gatherings. A large four-bay machinery shed easily accommodates a caravan, boat, tractor or multiple vehicles, while two additional lock-up sheds provide excellent storage for mowers, equipment and motorbikes.
Inside, the home offers four generous bedrooms and two distinct living zones. A north-facing sunroom captures all-day warmth and spectacular sunsets, overlooking sweeping lawns and mature trees. The country-style kitchen balances charm and practicality with Victorian Ash benchtops, a quality Smeg cooker and leafy garden outlook. The main bathroom includes under-floor heating, complemented by a second toilet in the renovated laundry.
Practical comforts include a 5kW solar system, excellent water infrastructure with bore and rainwater storage, and the convenience of a school bus stopping at the front gate.
