Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and rediscover simplicity at Cole Gully Cottage—a completely self-sufficient retreat hidden in a private valley and surrounded by 167 acres of untouched bushland. Here, running brooks weave through the landscape, mountain peaks frame the horizon, and walking tracks lead you right to the summit for views that will leave you breathless.
The cottage itself is a cosy timber haven, rich in warmth and character.
Step inside this charming cottage and be greeted by a beautifully open-plan interior that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Gleaming polished hardwood floors flow throughout the space, enhancing the natural light and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Towering raked timber ceilings add a striking sense of space and character, while expansive windows frame picturesque views and draw in the natural beauty of the surrounding bushland. At the heart of the home lies a spacious country-style kitchen, complete with timber cabinetry, ample bench space, and a large combustion stove — perfect for cosy winter evenings and slow-cooked meals. Whether you're entertaining or enjoying a quiet moment, the open layout ensures a sense of flow and connection throughout the living areas.
The bathroom/laundry combination offers a warm, country feel with rich stained timber cladding lining the walls. Thoughtfully designed for practicality, it features a shower over bath setup for flexibility and convenience, along with functional laundry tubs.
The full-length front verandah is a true highlight of this idyllic cottage, offering the perfect setting for endless mornings and tranquil afternoons spent with your favourite beverage in hand. Whether it's coffee at sunrise or a glass of wine as the sun sets, this generous outdoor space invites you to unwind, connect with loved ones, and savour the peaceful surroundings. With its elevated position, the verandah provides a breathtaking outlook through the trees to the rocky creek below — a constantly changing view that brings a sense of calm and connection to nature, no matter the season.
One of the unique features of this property is its abundance of Native Kangaroo Grass, a culturally significant and versatile plant with a rich history of traditional use. Its seeds have long been harvested and ground into flour to make damper and porridge, offering a connection to ancient bush food practices. Beyond its culinary value, the plant's stems and leaves have been used for weaving thread in traditional crafts, while also being brewed into a medicinal drink believed to soothe sore throats and colds. This remarkable grass not only enhances the natural beauty of the landscape but also carries deep cultural and ecological significance.
Also you’ll discover a property where nature takes centre stage! With over 30 different fruit trees thoughtfully planted throughout the grounds around the cottage so you'll enjoy a variety of fresh, homegrown produce right from your own backyard. From citrus to stone fruits and everything in between, it's a paradise for garden lovers and foodies alike. And that’s just the beginning—there are countless other varieties of majestic trees right across the property, each adding to the beauty and charm of this lush, green haven. Come and explore it for yourself—this is a place that truly needs to be seen to be believed!
