East of Mudgee and north-west of Rylstone, to the western side of the Great Dividing Range, lies Long Gully.

This truly unique property comprises 402.6 hectares of picturesque natural beauty a project of conservation activity, eco-friendly and sustainable building and preservation of countless species of native flora and fauna.

The property is predominantly fertile valley floor and encompasses magnificent sandstone cliffs and escarpments on each side of the valley. Just spectacular!

Initially cleared in the mid 1800′s, the native trees and grasses have regenerated well to create a sanctuary for wallabies, wombats, kangaroos, goannas and lizards as well as an abundance of birdlife.

The owners have a conservation agreement with both the NSW and Federal Governments which provides financial assistance for weed control and the waiver of council rates along with many more fiscal benefits.

The residence, some 300sqm, is a superb Adobe constructed (mud brick) home featuring striking vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and generous room sizes and was built by leading specialists in this mode of construction.

A stunning open plan living and meals area boasts an amazing open fireplace with the handcrafted timber kitchen adjacent.

There are four bedrooms; however the current owners have utilised two as private study and library space, and two bathrooms.

Almost everything used in construction has been handcrafted on site with the timbers used sourced from the property for the roof structure, windows, cabinetry and some furniture and the mud bricks coming from the clay and sand on the property.

With a high thermal mass, insulated ceilings, 1 metre eaves and a wide front verandah the home is well protected from the elements and comfortable year round.

Further to this is a spacious, fully self-contained guest quarter of the same construction near to the house.

Other improvements include a large open-sided shed, enclosed workshop, 3-5 car carport and a bushfire survival bunker.

Water supply is more than sufficient and power, phone and internet is well catered for.

Halfway down the 4 kilometre valley is a second two bedroom cottage, additional external accommodation, full kitchen and bathroom facilities and independent power and water supply.

Add to this the star room an observatory to enjoy the clear night skies – and you have one truly remarkable property.
