Last Listing description (July 2023)

A rustic yet comfortable offering with plenty of scope to capitalise on your initial investment, this mountain abode sits on a huge 4,995sqm bush block with extensive level cleared areas around the main house and separate workshop building. Situated only a 6 minute drive from Katoomba train station it satisfies the need for convenience coupled with the dream of owning a secluded mountain escape.

With exposed ceiling beams in warm honey coloured hues, and a centrally positioned slow combustion wood fire in the open plan living/dining/kitchen area it immediately garners a feeling of easy going comfort. The decor throughout is simple and practical, leaving plenty of room to renovate according to individual style.
