A landmark Bilpin property that features a 1906 cottage and 35 year old gardens is on the market with price expectations around the high $1million mark.
On the market through Justine Popple of Ray White Kurrajong, two residences sit on the land. Both fully renovated with the main residence recently a finalist in the 2014 HIA renovation of the year awards.
“The circa 1906 cottage at the rear of the property, called Bloomfield Cottage, is approved as a Bed and Breakfast.
“The main house is fitted out to an exceptionally high standard with a quality kitchen, butler's kitchen and grand ballroom-style main living area with 20 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling glass panels to capture the views. The bathrooms are exquisite and more like those you would find in a five star resort," Justine explains.
The award winning 35-year-old gardens span over eight acres with a total of 18 acres of land and features, three dams, level lawns and direct access to walking and riding trails through the property which joins world heritage national parklands.
“This is the perfect weekend escape or tree change for Sydney-siders who want to get away from the city, but not have to travel too far,” Justine said.
Located 90km from Sydney, buyers have the option of a potential income by renting out the cottage or main residence or running the cottage as a Bed and Breakfast.
“The main house once operated as an Art Gallery and cafe and the whole property is zoned RU2 Tourist Facility - the last to be zoned as such in that area of the Hawkesbury. There’s enormous potential to create a commercial venture such as wedding facility, cafe or gallery,” Justine said.
The property, located at 2967 Bells Line of Road, Bilpin, will go to auction on 28 February 2015 onsite at 2pm.
