Solitary - A Private Garden Retreat with Megalong Valley Views

Hidden behind glorious spring gardens, meandering pathways and enchanting stone walls, this original character cottage offers a rare combination of privacy, charm and breathtaking views towards the Megalong Valley.

Nestled amongst the treetops in one of Blackheath's sought-after locations, this much-loved timber home is rich in character, with beautiful period details thoughtfully complemented by comfortable modern living.

Step inside and the home immediately reveals its personality. Multiple stained-glass feature windows, decorative cornices and light-toned panelled floors create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The north-facing sunroom provides the perfect place to relax and soak up the abundant natural light and sunny aspect.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is both practical and inviting, featuring an original fireplace and beautiful outlooks across the valley. Even the everyday task of doing the dishes becomes a pleasure, with the kitchen windows framing the spectacular scenery beyond.

Three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including two with built-in wardrobes, while the luxurious modern bathroom adds a touch of contemporary indulgence.

For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with both a slow-combustion fireplace and central heating.

Outside, the magic continues. The rear garden looks out across the Megalong Valley and provides a peaceful setting to enjoy the surrounding beauty. A separate garden studio offers an inspiring space for creative pursuits, working from home or simply escaping to somewhere quiet.

The private front verandah is beautifully nestled amongst the treetops, while a rear verandah provides another vantage point from which to enjoy the gardens and views.
