Nestled in an idyllic, secluded pocket between Katoomba and Medlow Bath, this mud-brick property represents a rare opportunity to secure your dream of a very special bushland retreat. An elevated outlook, natural building materials, gabled timber ceilings, generous living areas, expansive verandas, skylights and sunset views all give a beautiful sense of a building in sync with its natural surroundings – trees, bush flowers, sky and stars fill every window. This is a unique and peaceful one and a half acre getaway, only a 30 minute walk from Katoomba station.
The property has 3 bedrooms (two open out to sunny verandas), 2 bathrooms and another versatile room that could be easily adapted as a fourth bedroom. The central, spacious,flowing split level living/kitchen/dining/study area is kept toasty with a wood fire and LPG gas central heating, is light-flooded by skylights and flows to the outside to both the east and west. The roomy kitchen has a handy laundry/mudroom adjacent and features a walk-in pantry. Extending the living area is a huge covered deck with views high over tree tops to the Hampton Hills. Surrounding the house is a natural bushland garden with beautiful bushrock walls and terraced beds, full of perennials and herbs. There’s also a pizza oven /fire pit area, perfect for entertaining and soaking up the ambiance of a clear, starry evening. Water for the property is stored in rainwater tanks (with a massive total of capacity 50,000 L).
Spacious living, an adaptable floor plan, external access to the bedrooms, a large double garage with a loft space and veranda, (plus DA approved plans for an extra garage) open up possibilities in the great potential of this property. Situated close to bush tracks, the cycle trail, rock climbing areas, the Six Foot Track and lookouts over the Narrowneck Plateau and the Megalong Valley, the area is a nature lover’s/outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.
