A truly distinctive offering, ready to be appreciated today while holding strong prospects for the years ahead. Positioned at the gateway to the Blue Mountains, The Carriers Arms is a property rich in history and character. Dating back to the 1860s, it was once a well-known stop for traveller's heading west. Today, it brings together a substantial sandstone homestead and a charming former inn, set amongst sweeping lawns, established vineyard rows, and land once utilised as a thriving flower market-highlighting the area's fertile soil. The main residence is a solid sandstone home offering four generous bedrooms, all set beneath impressive 11-foot ceilings. Polished Kauri Pine floors enhance the warmth of the interiors, while the layout provides a seamless flow between living and dining spaces. The kitchen is well-appointed with Caesarstone benchtops and gas cooking, and hydronic heating ensures year-round comfort throughout the home. Formerly operating as The Carriers Arms, the original inn has been thoughtfully preserved. Its thick stone walls reflect its heritage, now housing an Edwardian-inspired kitchen and bathroom, a cosy sitting room, and a bedroom with outlooks across the vineyard and grounds. Completely self-contained and full of charm, it offers excellent potential for guest accommodation, short-stay rental, or a private retreat. The land showcases a strong agricultural past, with approximately 120 vine Merlot vineyard supported by irrigation. Additional features include: * Timber slab stables * Large 17.5m x 7.6m workshop and an original brick well. With town water connected, fertile soils, and frontage to the Coxs River, the property combines natural beauty with practical usability-all just 10 minutes from Lithgow and approximately two hours from Sydney.
