Offering outstanding potential to renovate, rebuild or create your ideal Blue Mountains retreat (STCA), the value here is firmly in the land and lifestyle. The rustic timber cottage exudes warmth and character at every turn, with beautiful hardwood-lined walls, timber-panelled ceilings, and striking slate stone floors throughout the living areas. The inviting living room is centred around a charming wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect cozy retreat during cool Blue Mountains winters, while multiple windows frame those incredible valley and mountain views that stretch endlessly to the horizon. A secondary living space features wall-mounted heating, exposed timber beams, and a warm pendant light, ideal as a sitting room, sunroom, or additional entertaining zone.
