102 Blackmans Creek Road

Hartley NSW 2790

Just 20mins from Lithgow and Blackheath and situated off a quiet country road in the heart of the Hartley Valley, this home (on 39 glorious acres of undulating pasture and bushland) is a perfect rural getaway. Aptly named, the house is perfectly positioned in a private, stunning location on a picturesque knoll to capture views, sunshine and breezes from every direction. It enjoys an outlook to the Hassans Walls escarpment and a boundary running along the beautiful pools and granite boulders of the River Lett. With fully fenced boundaries and three dams, a chicken coop, ample room for vegetable growing and animal grazing, the property would be suitable for a variety of uses - even just as a retreat to get away from it all and enjoy the wild life including birds, roos, wombats & trout.
The house itself is one of a kind, a unique combination of the creative and the quirky with an 'off the grid sensibility being completely solar powered. Hardwood framed and Canadian cedar clad, many recycled materials have been used to create a very comfortable and beloved retreat - a place for special family gatherings or quiet times away from the hustle and bustle. The huge, open living/dining/kitchen inspires with its soaring cathedral ceilings, natural timber support poles and large picture windows. This room flows out to a deep, wrap around bull-nose veranda, perfect for year round enjoyment and alfresco entertaining. In winter, the house is kept cosy with high, north-facing windows, a feature sandstone fireplace and a slow combustion wood fire. In summer, breezeways and large trees to the west provide protection and shade. A beautiful glassed-in room to the east makes a perfect library or study. There are three bedrooms, plus a loft off the living (perfect as a meditation room or a children's retreat). A gorgeous small studio is perfect for those of artistic intent and additional features include a double garage/workshop, additional undercover parking for two vehicles, chicken coop and several other sheds. If you are looking for an accessible country retreat or an idyllic tree change with a refreshing dose of the unique, this special property should definitely be on your inspection list.
