Historic Mill Pond Farm is set on 41.07 hectares (approx.) of exceptional granite country 10 minutes (approx.) drive from bustling Braidwood. The property offers a generous and elegant homestead and beautifully restored granite stone and brick Mill.
The subject of a meticulous eleven-year restoration, Mill Pond Farm has numerous stunning historic buildings arranged on lush fields bordering the Jembaicumbene Creek. The Victorian Gothic homestead, built in stages from 1839 to 1875, is set in an established garden with swimming pond, and rare 1850s specimen trees. Sensitively restored, it provides sophisticated accommodation for a large family or for entertaining, with six reception rooms including entrance hall, library, drawing room, breakfast room, summer room and formal dining room. The huge country kitchen has cathedral ceilings and comprehensive gourmet fittings including gas range and an Aga stove, large pantry and silver closet, looking out onto both a lovely kitchen garden, and a fountain in the formal courtyard. The large main bedroom has a fireplace, a sunny bay window, and fitted walk-in wardrobes with a luxurious modern ensuite, with cast iron bath and separate shower and European fittings. Two additional large bedrooms with French doors opening onto the verandahs share a bathroom, and the third large bedroom has its own ensuite with claw foot bath. There are three additional guest WCs. A lovely attic study/ bedroom has a castellated balcony overlooking the Budawang Ranges. The homestead has seven open fires for atmosphere and is also centrally heated with a wood fired hydronic system.
The property has a pretty 1840s stable with three stalls, a loose box and a tack room, and an extensive 1840s wooden barn and workshops. The property's 19th century schoolhouse has been converted to a sunny studio used as a teahouse for visitors.
A highlight of the property is the exceptional four storey stone and brick flour mill, built in 1859, and offering four gigantic floors of flexible creative space. Unique in this part of NSW, the mill is among the best examples of its type in Australia and in exceptional condition. Currently housing a successful gallery on two floors, the upper floors are suitable for conversion to accommodation or many other uses. A rare 1853 Otis lift carries heavy items to all four floors. (Plans to convert the Mill into highly sought-after Farm Stay accommodation are available to view upon request.) Current Council approvals allow use as an educational facility, shop and gallery.
The property has exceptional water, with a permanent spring-fed mill pond, two spring fed wells and numerous other ponds and water courses, as well as a series of deep 19th century ponds in the 25-acre wetland. Bird and native animal life abound, there are platypus in several of the ponds and many water birds including black swans and occasionally a pelican.
