Overview

With a lightness of touch, this original homestead has been meticulously restored to maintain the integrity of its century-old romantic character. Located in an elevated position above Eltham village, the home is set privately back from the road on 2.9 acres, surrounded by open lawn and established trees. In the main house, all four bedrooms open to a sweeping verandah overlooking the property's gardens. The living room connects to a light-filled, wraparound sunroom that extends the living space and offers vistas out toward the valley and skyline. The home is complemented with a freshly renovated former 'stables' which stands completely separate from the house and provides an opportunity for an ongoing income stream. Situated an easy five-minute walk from the village and just a short drive to Clunes and Bangalow, this distinctly beautiful property is conveniently located 25 minutes to the coast and beaches while offering a peaceful, private hinterland experience connected to the past. Beautiful, sympathetically restored local landmark, as the original farmhouse in the village, with features including rustic hardwood floors, decorative timber fretwork, coloured window glass, high ceilings, and French doors that open to a deep verandah. Large living and dining area featuring the original fireplace, plus separate 'eat in' kitchen. Light-filled sunroom with full-length louvred windows that capture views. Generous bedrooms open to the original verandah, overlooking the garden. Luxurious bathrooms feature a clawfoot bath and a large twin shower. Well-equipped country-style kitchen with original brick hearth. Ceiling fans throughout; combustion fireplace in main lounge. Original stables converted to suit guest accommodation, work space, or home business. Undercover parking for four vehicles plus space for storing tools and more. Beautiful old fig trees, natives and jacarandas, established gardens, orchard and open lawn. Privately set back from the road with a driveway entrance framed by majestic fig trees. Quiet, peaceful location. Five minute walk to Eltham village; five minutes drive to Clunes village; 15 minutes to Bangalow; 25 minutes to Byron Bay. 'Hillview House' is a place to relax, escape and let your mind wander.
