Built in local stone in the 1880s “Abbotsford” stands as a testament to the tenacity of our early pioneers. The original residence, surrounded by established gardens and dry stone walls, overlooks the majestic Freycinet Peninsula and Great Oyster Bay and features three bedrooms which showcase the superb vista. A delightful sitting room, quaint wooden panel breakfast room and modern bathroom complete what is a truly exquisite two storey Victorian cottage that has been meticulously restored.

Conjoined is a modern double storey brick residence that features an extensive slate floor open plan living area comprising formal dining/sitting room with library or games area. Upstairs provides two comfortable bedrooms with built in robes and spacious bathroom. A large country kitchen, with informal family area and modern Stanley slow combustion stove, forms the conduit between the two structures.

The outbuildings are a remarkable historic feature of the property. The original bake house with oven, convict bricks and shingle roof, offers an insightful experience of life as it was, together with the original barn and stables that feature whole local pine rafters, cobbled stone floor and original stalls.

The landscaped gardens are beautifully laid out on a level allotment that welcomes visitors with a large circular box hedge entrance and extensive undercover and off-street parking. The cottage gardens provide a delightful retreat to take in the sunset with their lovely array of flora.

The development potential of this property, on two titles cannot be overlooked given its resort residential zoning over the the 3.6 ha parcel of land.

The property is currently run as a small, successful B & B (recently voted ‘Our Pick’ by the editors of Lonely Planet). The new custodians of this property will enjoy a most desirable lifestyle and a spacious family home only 3 minutes from the beach and coastal walks, set in the thriving historical township of Swansea.
