‘Rothmar’ was built in the 1860′s in the historic village of Carcoar, 3.5 hours west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. An easy 35 minute commutes to Orange, Bathurst and Cowra with local wineries, restaurants, cafes, art galleries and theatre all within reach. This property sits on over 2840sqm of park like grounds that run down to the Belubula River, where the owners and neighbours often have picnics. The triple brick house and coach house/stable has been restored to a level of luxury not often seen. The front verandah showcases the traditional Victorian facade and captures the early morning sun. The village shops and cafe are a gentle stroll down the hill. The wide hallway runs the length of the original house. Upon entering you notice the painstakingly restored cedar doorways and architectures. On the right is the master bedroom with large windows in the north east corner leading into a separate walk in robe and large ensuite bathroom (both with underfloor heating). On the left of the hall are two large guest rooms separated by the fully restored cedar staircase leading down to the lower level. Also on the right is the huge main bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower and discreetly hidden toilet also with underfloor heating. AT the end of the hall is the modern addition – an enormous kitchen/living/dining room with outdoor deck overlooking the garden, river and rural countryside.
