The cottage is on the ground level only. There is a large double bricked wall between both houses, originally an external wall. Providing effective soundproofing between the houses is a double doorway with hush glass. The cottage is fully equipped and with its own private entrance and patio area. The Cottage is on 98 gorgeous acres of rolling moss rock covered hills and magnificent gums. It is a working farm with sheep and we have chooks and a few working dogs. You can meander along the creek or take a stroll along the track to the dam. It's a beautiful spot for photography, taking a picnic or simply relaxing with a book. If you would like to see a different perspective of the landscape head up the hill behind the dam or anywhere really, for stunning views of the surrounds. Once you're up the top you can walk along the fence line back to the house. Guest access The Cottage has everything you need for a relaxing getaway.
