The Cunjevoi homestead was created by joining the original circa 1900 weatherboard to another weatherboard home from the same era and of the same standard that was moved on site. The workmanship employed in joining these 2 grand old homes was first class and created a rich and ambling space with a central courtyard and 2 wings with the huge "country kitchen" at the centre.

As you arrive The old bales

As you arrive you will see the “old bales” and associated shedding as you park your car and enter the courtyard that will bring you to the front door. From here, you step onto impressive polished timber floors and of course the high ceilings continue throughout the whole homestead.

Let’s start with the heart of this home – the classic country kitchen (9 x 4.5m). With simply oodles of space, you will find lots and lots of cupboards and bench space, walk in pantry, central island bench with marble top, 5 burner gas cooktop, electric wall oven with separate grill, slow combustion log burner and oven, double sink, dishwasher and additional large sink.

West wing: living room leading to.. Verandah views

Moving into the west wing we find 2 smaller bedrooms, both carpeted and both 3.2 x3.2m which would also make an ideal sewing room, craft room, study or den. At the end of the polished timber hallway you will find one of the living rooms (9 x 6m) with 2 sets of French doors onto covered verandahs and an open fire place for warmth and character on those cooler winter nights.

Formal Dining Spa with views

Moving back now, past the country kitchen we find the carpeted formal dining room (5 x 4.5m), adjacent to the kitchen and with it’s own open fireplace for those special winter dinners, and more French doors onto the covered verandah.

Down the hall now we find the huge (5 x 4.5m) bathroom complete with large separate bathtub, large shower, double vanity, luxurious 8 person spa bath and your own private sauna. Close by is bedroom 4 (5 x 3m) complete with walk in robe, carpet and French doors onto the covered verandah.

Bedroom 1 Bedroom 3

There are so many covered verandahs here that I couldn’t possibly describe them all to you but suffice to say that they are virtually everywhere.

Covered verandah

Outside again in the courtyard we enjoy more of those magic mountain views and find an ideal studio/store room/utility room in one corner, easily accessed in all weather, thanks to the wide, covered walkways. I mentioned the “old bales” when I started, along with associated shedding, and whilst not really utilized at present, they offer many opportunities for future use.

The Shed Inside

We also have a 3 bay, colorbond machinery shed complete with power and lights, and you’ll find the ideal water supply, a bore into a natural spring, adjacent to this shed providing crystal clear water all year long.

The absolute frontage to the Bellinger River is another fantastic asset for this property for both recreational and practical reasons with your very own private swimming holes, literally at the bottom of your river flat paddocks.

This part of the river just down the road

With 12 acres in total and around 5 acres flat, the property would be ideal for horses or other livestock with excellent pasture and rich soils. The gardens are a delight and there's even more I could tell you but I've run out of space so if this sounds like it could be the property for you, then…
