Set on 4.9 acres with direct frontage to the Wilson River, 'Fairview' is a character-filled c1911 federation homestead offering a relaxed rural lifestyle surrounded by established gardens, open lawns and sweeping countryside views.
Originally designed in 1911 by Sydney architect William Kenwood, the home reflects the timeless proportions and craftsmanship of its era.
