Tucked away in the rolling hills of Kurrajong Hills, this enchanting country cottage feels as though it has been lifted from the pages of a storybook. Set upon 4.65 hectares and built on the site of the original Hermitage after which the road is named, this location offers outstanding views of whispering meadows and dappled woodlands. The home is a sanctuary of peace, where nature and nostalgia intertwine in perfect harmony.
With its weatherboard facade, charming Dutch front door (imported from the Cotswolds and used for the Peter Rabbit movie), and sweeping wraparound verandah, the home welcomes you with open arms. Step inside to discover Belgian oak floorboards that echo the rich history of cottage craftsmanship, while sunlight streams through double-glazed windows, dancing across warm timber accents and inviting nooks.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is a picture of country elegance, framed by black shaker cabinetry, brass fittings, and timber benchtops. Gaze out across rolling hilltops as you prepare meals with fresh herbs from the garden, or gather in the adjoining living area, where a slow-combustion fireplace promises cosy winter evenings with a cup of tea in hand.
All of the bedrooms are located on the upper floor, with three featuring built-in wardrobes and all showcasing raked ceilings with exposed timber panelling. The main bathroom, renovated in 2020, boasts a luxurious rain shower framed by timeless subway tiles-providing a tranquil escape after a busy day. The views from every window are a delight with the owners saying they often spot one of their resident koalas in the trees outside while they are taking a shower!
Step outside to find a world of pastoral charm. The expansive deck and verandahs offer breathtaking views over undulating paddocks and towering gum trees. For equestrian enthusiasts, a 20 x 40 sand arena, stables, and tack room provide the perfect setting for leisurely rides through the countryside.
A cosy garden shed, chicken coop, and flourishing vegetable patch invite you to embrace the joys of country living, while the woodfire pizza oven offers the perfect excuse for long, laughter-filled evenings under the stars.
Despite its secluded feel, this idyllic homestead is conveniently located just 5.7km from Kurrajong Village, 12km from North Richmond, and 26km from Windsor. A home where time slows and nature sings-this is the storybook country escape you've been dreaming of.
