A private piece of paradise 30 minutes drive from New Norfolk
?Rathmore? is a beautiful sandstone homestead, rich in features characteristic of the Old Colonial Georgian era, meticulously restored throughout to accentuate it?s refined elegance. Few homes compare to this architectural masterpiece which is well sited on a low knoll overlooking much of the 92 acres of pasture (divided into approx. 10 paddocks), perfect for sheep grazing with an enormous shearing shed totalling 425 sqm in size, complete with loading ramp, catching, filling and holding pens and five chutes. Now, this property could be yours!
A picturesque 30 minute drive from New Norfolk and 50 minutes to the airport, this homestead is generously proportioned and is grand in every sense of the word, offering a level of luxury today that the 1850?s could not have afforded. The recent addition of a ducted reverse cycle heat pump throughout, heats or cools the house within 10 minutes. Instead of chopping wood, this conveniently allows you more time to enjoy the beautiful landscape outdoors, tend to the stock or spend time renovating the two shearers cottages to a standard suitable for tourist accommodation/farm stays with the steady flow of tourists through the area, or just tidy them up for the next lot of shearers! Alternatively, the property could be opened up for weddings, providing the perfect backdrop for photographs and ample space for a marquee to be set up. Whatever your lifestyle choice or business expertise, the options are exciting and the location perfect!
The residence really has to be seen to be appreciated with it?s handcrafted cedar timber finishes, deep doorframe and window recesses, original floorboards, ornate cornices, original staircase which is simply stunning leading up to the two large attic bedrooms, fireplaces, verandahs, a butlers pantry and a stylish Paul Bocuse double oven with gas hotplates in the kitchen.
A grand hallway leads to the central reception room with wood heating, providing an intimate place to mingle while entertaining. There are a choice of places to relax, from the sunroom adjoining the eat-in kitchen for casual conversation, the sunny, North facing family room with open fireplace for that special romantic feel on a cold winters night, or the more formal lounge overlooking the verandah, radiating elegance and grandeur...each space has a different feel to suit your mood and need.
Three of the bedrooms are under the main roof with the inclusion of a fourth bedroom which is ideal for guests adjoining the laundry. The formal dining room could also be used as a bedroom, reflecting the versatility of the layout should you require a third bedroom on the ground floor. The modern addition of a huge double garage with internal access and remote entry is perfect for year round, all weather access inside.
A rear atrium with flagstone flooring and sandstone walls provides a dry area for storing your daily firewood supply (should this be your preferred form of heating), wet/muddy boots or allowing your family pets to come in out of bad weather.
The infrastructure around the property is equally as impressive as the house itself when it comes to facilities! The fully operational shearing shed is one of many outbuildings...with several hay, vehicle and machinery sheds, a silo, two shearers cottages ? one with 6 rooms, the other with 2 rooms in addition to the wet areas. Several stock loading ramps, natural dams reticulated to troughs provide an abundant supply of water and wood storage sheds complete the picture of this impressive property.
Unique, historic (heritage listed), and elegant beyond words, once you arrive, you will be consumed by a strong desire to stay and enjoy the relaxing feel that overcomes you. The ambiance is unforgettable, the peacefulness is refreshing, the beauty is unmistakable, and the privacy is what we all dream of. Imagine calling ?Rathmore? your home.
