The couple restored the main homestead with its polished concrete and original hardwood timber floors, pressed metal ceilings, ultra-modern kitchen and bathroom, wraparound veranda, two slow combustion wood fireplaces and reverse cycle air-conditioning.
“The homestead was a hut originally but has expanded over the years,” Mr Simon said.
“We did an extensive renovation which took more than 12 months but it’s all heritage and overlooks Goulburn. The land holding is 35 acres so it’s a big block, so close to the CBD with a fantastic aspect.”
The property also includes a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house, two one-bedroom cottages, and a two-bedroom cottage, all of which are currently tenanted for a combined rental return of $920/week.
“Whoever purchases the property, I think the integrity of Lansdowne Park will always be kept,” Mr Simon said.
“I think it’s a feeling when you go into the property, when you look about at the convict-built stone buildings. Lansdowne Park also used to be a Cobb & Co where men would sleep in the rooms which are still here, with the draught horses in the stable. The history of Australia is all right here. People drive in just to have a look and they all say there’s an incredible feeling.”
Mr Simon said the property itself would be a fantastic option for buyers keen to establish a bed and breakfast accommodation, or those simply looking for a different way of life.
“Even though it’s a city of 26,000 people, it’s still a regional Australian city,” he said.
“Goulburn is about the people. We’ve made lifelong mates and friends here. Nothing beats living on a parcel of land like this and sitting on the deck with a wine at sunset looking at the town below.” |
