About this property
Peaceful acreage with creek, on country lane, far from traffic one hour Sydney
This exceptional farm and beautiful cottage is situated one hour from the start of the M1 at Wahroongah,Sydney. The property offers privacy and peaceful tranquillity.
Enjoy the lush green and wooded valley vistas whilst relaxing in the outdoor area and observing the wildlife. There is an amazing variety of birds as well as wombats, wallabies, lyrebirds and bush turkeys living on or around the property. Watch the night come alive with stars and observe nature in a pristine environment.
The property has its own creek, bridge and untouched creek banks with clear fresh drinkable water. If you are energetic, walk along the creek, along the lane and trails and attempt the Great Northern walk or part thereof. Many of the attractions nearby are listed below.
Eggs from the chicken house for breakfast, vegetables from the organic vegetable garden. We leave the usual provisions in our pantry such as condiments, oil, flour, sauces for the convenience of our guests.
The house has a pretty sunlight filled lounge/dining and library area with views from every window.The newly renovated kitchen, two luxurious bathrooms, French fireplace completes the experience for either romance or a fireside chat with friends. In summer the garden can accommodate a long table lunch under our large expansive Chinese elm tree or a pasta making class in the kitchen which is well equipped. We keep our home simple, very clean, exercise detail in laundering our linen and cleanliness in the house.

About the host
Hosted by Mary and Allan
We are dedicated to enjoying this property by ensuring it is hygienically safe, comfortable and unpretentious. We can make it fun by having pasta making courses for 8 people available with a chef or making a limited long table lunch under the tree in Summer. We can supply a chef for your barbq, pick up the seafood and meat in Sydney prior and supply all if you require with enough notice.
We have done both and for a separate cost can make these available to you by request.

Why they chose this property
Set in a tranquil part of a very green valley where the creek runs through moss covered rocks with clear clean water, where birds are protected and encouraged by the garden planting, this property is well cared for, unpretentious and very comfortable. The house has been owned by the same owners for many years and is kept to a fine standard. All aspects are clean, well appointed and comfortable. The garden is managed weekly to ensure there are no surprises. Walking in the area both on the property and on the lane way is a pleasure with fruit trees, plane trees and olive trees all in the area
The owners have a large organic vegetable garden and chickens and are pleased to share both with visitors
The farm is surrounded by other small farms owned by permanent dwellers who live the lifestyle and respect and protect the wildlife. This area is a sanctuary and similar properties are hard to find.
