Overview

A Tranquil Mountain Escape Surrounded by Nature

A home of distinctive architectural character and enduring appeal, this architect-designed cedar residence offers a tranquil escape immersed in the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains. Set on an expansive 1,717sqm parcel, the two-story home is surrounded by established gardens and thoughtfully curated outdoor spaces, creating a private retreat where considered updates and a connection to nature define everyday living. A prized northern aspect and generous windows invite natural light throughout, enhancing the warmth of the cedar interiors and creating an inviting sense of space. Freshly painted inside and out, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a new kitchen and bathroom in 2025, while the timber deck was refurbished in 2024. A slow-combustion fireplace and reverse-cycle air conditioning provide year-round comfort, while the flexible layout offers the potential to adapt the existing one-bedroom configuration to accommodate a second bedroom. The grounds are a defining feature, with gently sloping lawns, mature plantings and a series of inviting outdoor spaces that encourage relaxed entertaining and quiet retreat. A levelled, privately hedged front garden creates a sheltered setting for outdoor gatherings, complemented by the refurbished timber deck and a distinctive Melwood porch cabana. Designed by a horticulturist with an emphasis on sustainability, drought tolerance and supporting local birdlife, the gardens combine considered planting with a dedicated vegetable patch featuring raised garden beds. Beyond the garden, the rear boundary adjoins the Yosemite Creek walking track, offering a natural connection to the surrounding bushland and a scenic route alongside the creek towards Minni Ha Ha Falls. Here, the sounds of birdsong and the peaceful natural setting create an atmosphere of privacy and escape, while the generous landholding offers space to enjoy the outdoors at your own pace. Distinctive in design and thoughtfully updated, this is an appealing opportunity to secure a character-filled mountain retreat where architectural individuality, established gardens and a natural setting come together in a truly peaceful environment. * Architect-designed, two-storey cedar residence with distinctive character * Expansive 1,717sqm parcel with gently sloping grounds * Desirable northern aspect with generous windows and abundant natural light * Flexible one-bedroom layout with potential to adapt to two bedrooms * New kitchen and bathroom completed in 2025 * Freshly painted interiors and exterior * Refurbished timber deck completed in 2024 * Slow-combustion fireplace and reverse-cycle air conditioning * Melwood porch cabana creating an additional outdoor retreat * Established mature gardens with a selection of usable outdoor spaces * Levelled and hedged front garden offering privacy for outdoor entertaining * Horticulturist-designed landscaping prioritising sustainability and drought tolerance * Thoughtful planting to encourage local birdlife * Hedged vegetable garden with raised garden beds * Rear boundary adjoining the Yosemite Creek walking track * Scenic creek-side walking route towards Minni Ha Ha Falls * Peaceful natural setting with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape
