If you close your eyes and think about your dream Southern Highlands country home, you will likely picture Redcourt. Being offered to the market for only the third time in 100 years. Built in 1904, this gracious homestead set on 27 picturesque acres is rich in architectural detail that one can only find in a home of this era. Soaring ceilings, original timber floors, timber lined ceilings, grand archways, wide hallways, and graceful interiors. The supremely private & beautiful gardens both add to the allure of "Redcourt".
The Homestead:
Bathed in glorious natural light, the formal dining room has original windows on three sides and the original marble mantelpiece. The grand formal lounge is spacious enough to host a crowd and retains the original mantel and windows.
The heart of every home is always the kitchen and the kitchen at Redcourt will not disappoint. Large in scale with every modern amenity at your fingertips and a one-of-a-kind antique kitchen island. Open to the kitchen is a sociable dining room and a large family room with a fireplace that invites everyone to enjoy.
One of the many highlights at Redcourt is the inviting covered verandah reminiscent of times gone by yet still perfect today to host family and friends in these modern times. Overlooking your own green rolling lawns and paddocks beyond. The expansive covered verandah is an ideal place to host long lunches, family BBQ's, or to sit and while away an afternoon.
Accommodation in the main homestead includes the handsome primary suite with an original mantle, ornamental open fire, and ensuite. A further 4 bedrooms, including 2 with
ensuites and 2 family bathrooms, both with double vanities, provide plenty of room for a growing family or guests. A stately library with an open fire provides further options for a home office, den, or even further sleeping accommodation if required.
The Barn:
Adjacent to the homestead, the barn houses the laundry, a further bathroom, a separate bunkroom, and an ample central gathering space with an open fire. The barn has hosted many parties and gatherings. During the warmer months, bi-fold doors open onto a terrace, BBQ area and spa.
An incredible folly of original architecture now houses a substantial garden shed which was originally used to preserve meat and the like.
The Grounds:
- Redcourt overlooks a picturesque valley with a gentle stream, acres of natural yellow iris, a dam and even a secluded dell.
