Keston’ a magnificent rural holding at Wellington and is located 3km from the CDB on the Mudgee Road.

An area of 93.33ha or 230.6ac is of highly productive basalt soils with the original homestead situated in an elevated position overlooking the Wellington valley.

The superb homestead of 42 squares, Circa 1897, was built from basalt stone quarried on site.

The home comprises a large formal lounge room with bay windows and ornate ceiling, dining room, study, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. A solid timber country style open plan kitchen with family room has a feature stone wall and exposed beams with an original wine cellar below it.

There are five open fireplaces in the homestead of which three have marble mantles and surrounds. The wide hallway extends the length of the house and opens on to a lace trimmed verandah and a 12m x 6m in ground salt water pool.

The homestead is approached by a long tree lined driveway of Kurrajongs. The road also takes one to the Rose Garden Caf’ which seats 80 guests, is air-conditioned and sits in the middle of 2000 rose bushes and an ornamental fountain.

Adjoining the main homestead is a turn of the century stone barn with loft and a self contained stone guest cottage positioned in the corner of the manicured garden.

An additional full sized refurbished family home of three bedrooms with modern kitchen, lounge and family room with its own access road is some 150m from the main homestead. Further improvements include a two stand shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards, new workshop, machinery shed, 2 silos and stables.

Keston’ is subdivided into 14 paddocks, each with self levelling water troughs. Both cattle and sheep enterprises have been run on the property.

The holding is watered by a pump on the Macquarie River delivering water to two 20,000 gallon concrete tanks. There is also an equipped bore. Town water runs past the front of Keston’ and could be connected.

Keston’ offers diversification of income from catering, B and B stays, livestock and rose growing. This is an opportunity to purchase a developed holding with great potential to increase the cafe side of the business.
