Taps flown in from London for 'Alice in Wonderland' cottage near Crookwell

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. This incredible property might like look something from a picture book but we can confirm the home and its surroundings are very, very real.

Raine & Horne Goulburn rural and residential agent Nic Heath says from the first time he saw 7021 Boorowa Road, Lost River, he knew "it was one of a kind".

“It’s just one of those unique properties that are genuinely rare,” Nic says.

“It’s extremely well done where everything is well thought out – even down to the garden design.”

The architecturally-designed home, just a 10 minute drive from the NSW village of Crookwell, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and sits on just under 54 acres.

“The home has many of the ornate, period-type features that you tend to see only in older properties,” Nic says.

“The difference is, this is a modern home built in the older style but with modern conveniences.

“Walking through, you'll find ornate cornices, ceiling roses, chandeliers, open fireplaces and other features from the Federation era of architecture.”

Nic says the bathroom fittings, taps and the butlers sink in the kitchen were all flown in from London, while the four full-sized fireplaces scattered as features throughout the rooms of the home are a mixture of antique and replica, made by Chippendale Restorations in Sydney.

The home features large timber sash windows, while the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A mud room keeps the house neat and tidy, and a roof-top attic can be accessed via pull-down stairs.

Outside the home, there are areas for outdoor activities. The property boasts a rose garden with a dovecote, vegetable garden beds, a spring-fed creek and an outdoor entertaining area with seating, as well as two main paddocks.

A meadow with deciduous trees and 2000 bulbs promises to make an “absolutely amazing sight” in spring, according to Nic.

Fruit fans will love the orchard, which includes nectarines, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries, almonds, figs, oranges and several kinds of berries.

The driveway is lined with trees to guide you towards the home. Additional features include a double garage with two parking spots, and a 110,000L water tank and three dams for water security.

The property is located back from the road, which Nic says makes it perfect for someone looking for a lifestyle change.

“It’s not an extremely big block by any means, but it would be perfect for a few cows or horses,” he says.

“Something this size is a really good grazing block, or it could be used as a weekend escape from the city.”

Located at Lost River, the home is a short drive on sealed roads from Crookwell.

“The area has very good soils for those interested in the land and some great little communities you can join," Nic says.

“Crookwell is one of those little towns with a really good sense of community, so you won’t have to worry about being alone."

7021 Boorowa Road, Lost River, is for sale by Expression of Interest.
