The drive bends gently, the trees forming a soft canopy overhead, and then the house appears, composed, understated, perfectly at ease. The way it's nestled in nature makes the whole setting unforgettable.
Originally a miner's cottage dating to the early 1900s, Settlement Cottage has been extended over time with a clear respect for its origins. The result is a residence that feels established rather than altered, comfortable, practical and well resolved.
The main living and dining areas sit at the centre of the home, anchored by a recently updated wood fire and framed by windows that look directly into the surrounding landscape. Light is consistent throughout the day, and the connection to the outdoors is constant without being overstated.
The kitchen is straightforward and functional, finished with timber benchtops and classic cabinetry. It connects easily to both living and dining, supporting everyday use without dominating the space.
Accommodation is spread across two distinct zones. Two bedrooms sit together in one wing, each with a quiet outlook, offering a greater sense of privacy. Between these rooms, a hallway lined with built-in shelving creates a natural transition through the home a functional space, but also one with character. While a third bedroom is positioned separately toward the rear of the home.
The north-facing deck extends along the rear, providing a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living. From here, the grounds open out to established planting and lawn, with a setting that feels private. The absence of internal fencing allows the landscape to remain uninterrupted, with local wildlife moving freely through the property.
A separate studio, complete with bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and adjoining garage, adds further flexibility. It is well-suited for guest accommodation or independent use, set apart from the main residence yet connected.
Supported by tanks, bore and dam water, the property is as practical as it is appealing.
A considered home in a tightly held setting, offering a balance of character, functionality and quiet privacy.
