Set among approximately 38 acres of native Australian bushland, this secluded timber cottage offers a peaceful escape where nature takes center stage. Elevated above the surrounding valleys, the home enjoys far-reaching views across rolling hills and distant mountain ranges, creating an idyllic setting for those looking to disconnect and experience the beauty of the Hunter Valley countryside. Despite its tranquil surroundings, the charming village of Wollombi, local wineries, and boutique cafés are all within easy reach.

Crafted from Oregon timber, the cottage embraces a warm, rustic aesthetic that blends seamlessly with its natural environment. The open-concept living area is anchored by a striking sandstone fireplace with a slow-combustion wood fire, creating a welcoming space to gather after a day of exploring. Hardwood floors, leadlight windows, and thoughtful architectural details add character throughout, while reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.

The home offers two inviting bedrooms, including a peaceful main bedroom on the lower level and a charming loft bedroom above. A mezzanine sitting area provides a quiet reading nook or workspace, while the country-style kitchen is equipped for preparing relaxed meals to enjoy indoors or out on the expansive wraparound veranda overlooking the landscape.

Beyond the cottage, the property invites exploration. Wander along private walking trails through native bushland, relax beneath the timber gazebo overlooking one of two tranquil dams, or spend the afternoon enjoying the property's gardens and quiet outdoor seating areas. The expansive grounds provide a rare sense of space and privacy, making every moment feel immersed in the surrounding landscape.

Whether discovering nearby cellar doors, exploring national parks, or simply unwinding beside the fire with uninterrupted views, this countryside retreat offers an authentic Australian escape where comfort, character, and nature come together beautifully.
