“Beragoo Homestead” is nestled in a productive and picturesque valley just 19km from Mudgee and is renowned as one of the finest country homesteads in the district. “Beragoo” is thought to have been built in the 1870′s and is a fine example of early Australian colonial architecture with its distinctive and interesting roof lines, wide shady verandah’s and solid double sandstock brick construction.
The generously proportioned design allows for four bedrooms (some with romantic open fire places and mantles), including a huge main bedroom with white marble fire place, walk-in robe and office.
A grand central hallway adds symmetrical balance with beautiful polished floor boards for both visual appeal and practical living.
There are two nicely appointed bathrooms that have been refurbished in sympathy with the original character of the home.
The kitchen is of a size you would expect in a country homestead of this caliber with quality solid Oregon cupboards and commercial grade cooking facilities plus every imaginable convenience from spice drawers to pots and pans drawers and a generous pantry cupboard.
The main living area is spacious and open with a cosy wood fire and combines as a lounge and meals/dining area. There is also a graceful formal dining room with an open fire place and a delightful formal sitting/drawing room.
“Beragoo Homestead” sits on 23 hectares (57 acres) of land ideally suited to cattle or sheep grazing or even more intensive pursuits if desired.
Other improvements on the property include original brick stables (currently used as a workshop, storage and double car accommodation), hay shed and a large wool/shearing shed – a legacy of Beragoo’s bygone days as one of the district’s noted sheep stations!
Water is a feature on “Beragoo” with a bore, 2 x 20,000 gallon tanks, four dams, irrigation licence as well as an intermittent creek running through the property.
For the entrepreneur, “Beragoo” could provide further income opportunities (it has been run as a Bed and Breakfast) by converting the old stables to accommodation and even perhaps the old wool shed. “Beragoo Homestead” is simply a delightful property in a beautiful setting surrounded by approximately 2 acres of grounds, sure to provide a unique country lifestyle with its relaxing ambience.
