Nestled among the enchanting, restored ruins of the original "Kenilworth Homestead" which dates back to the 1880s, this architecturally designed masterpiece, now affectionately known as "Moss River House", seamlessly blends heritage charm with contemporary luxury.

This culinary centrepiece opens to the vast living and dining room which then seamlessly flows out onto the outdoor entertaining space.
The main bedroom suite with a designer ensuite, freestanding bath, double shower and large walk-in robe sits proud in its own wing. Segregated bedrooms sit within the original homestead ruins providing a perfect blend of heritage and modern luxury.
Adding to the property's rich history, the old Kittys Creek Bridge, circa 1850s, still stands over the Kittys Creek with its impressive stone abutments. The crystal clear Kittys Creek forms the Western boundary of the property, providing a further natural haven for native wildlife including owls, wombats, kangaroos, and flocks of birds such as galahs, cockatoos and rosellas. Nature lovers will also appreciate direct access to the Yass River, ideal for peaceful strolls and searching for an allusive and charming platypus.
