170 Gallaghers Lane

Set privately within approximately 145 acres of natural bushland, this handcrafted timber and stone retreat offers a rare opportunity to secure a truly unique rural sanctuary in the Ashby Heights area. Positioned along a quiet country lane and elevated towards the top of the ridge, the home captures a beautiful sense of seclusion, with rolling rural views, open grassy clearings, established gardens and natural bushland unfolding in every direction. The cottage has been thoughtfully built by hand using locally milled timber, sandstone and natural materials that give the home its unmistakable warmth and character. Inside, soaring timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams, louvre windows, stone feature walls and hand-finished natural floors create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home is a generous central living space with a slow combustion fireplace, opening to covered outdoor areas that invite you to sit back, take in the views and enjoy the quiet of the bush. The main bedroom and handcrafted bathroom continue the home's distinctive style, with collected stonework, natural textures and a sense of craftsmanship rarely found. Designed for comfortable off-grid living, the property is powered by solar and supported by natural water sources, making it an ideal retreat for buyers seeking privacy, sustainability and space without sacrificing comfort. Adding further appeal is a separate self-contained studio/workshop, ideal for guests, creative use or additional retreat space, along with a large Colorbond shed providing excellent storage, workshop or vehicle accommodation. Two dams, established gardens, cleared areas around the home and open grassy fields enhance both the lifestyle and usability of the land. For buyers seeking space, seclusion and a deeper connection to nature, the property offers an extraordinary natural playground, with room for bushwalking, mountain biking, horse trails, gardening, fruit trees and vegetable growing, all from your own private acreage. This is a property with soul, scale and genuine privacy - a handcrafted sanctuary for buyers seeking something rare, authentic and completely removed from the ordinary.
