An unparalleled opportunity to own a chapter of South Coast heritage
Set against the backdrop of the Buckenbowra River's tranquil flow and the rolling hills of Runnyford, Egans Farm stands as a remarkable piece of local history-one that has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. With a lineage stretching back well over a century, this storied property offers not just a home, but a lifestyle rich in legacy and authenticity.
The current homestead is the second to grace this land, built in 1887 and still echoing the craftsmanship of its era. The oldest section of the residence-housing an outdoor shower room, powered external storage, two bedrooms, and a cozy living area-boasts the original hardwood floors, fixtures, and even the fireplace that once warmed early settlers.
Tastefully updated, the heart of the home lies in the kitchen, where timber cabinetry and benches nod to the past while a slow combustion stove and modern appliances, including a freestanding oven and dishwasher, ensure today's comforts are never compromised. Flowing effortlessly into an open-plan dining and lounge area, complete with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a woodheater, the home seamlessly blends old-world charm with everyday practicality.
The newer wing offers further accommodation with two additional bedrooms, each serviced by their own ensuite, and one with a walk-in robe-ideal for families or guest hosting. A fifth bedroom provides versatility as either an additional sleeping space or a dedicated study, perfectly suited to remote work or creative pursuits.
Outside, the home's freshly painted exterior sits proudly amid nearly 70 acres of fenced paddocks-19 in total-designed for ease of livestock management with electric fencing throughout. Sustainability is a hallmark here, with close to 300,000 litres of water storage, a new septic system, and a fully installed solar array. River frontage has been carefully managed with erosion control plantings and privacy-enhancing greenery along the boundary.
Working infrastructure includes a brand new 4-bay machinery shed and a fully enclosed workshop with a concrete floor-ready to support any rural venture.
Egans Farm is more than a property. It is a living, breathing part of the Runnyford story. A place where the past is preserved with care, and the future is full of promise. For those seeking the rare opportunity to write their own chapter in a truly historic rural setting, this is your moment.
Welcome to Egans Farm. Welcome home.
