LANDMARK PROPERTY STEEPED in history and originally part of the Emerald Country Club estate, this local landmark dates back to the early 1920s. Back then it was developed around the idea of a holiday resort and it is easy to see why. Nestled among an impressive range of mature exotic trees and gardens originally developed by ‘Carl Nobelius’ the serenity and seclusion here is breathtaking. Privacy and peace are assured as you cross over a small creek to arrive at this beautiful setting of over 2.5 acres. The canopy of oak trees, maples and silver beech trees is softened by open areas of lawn, fruit trees and natural bush to create the perfect setting for this idyllic homestead.
The residence makes effective use of rough stone on the base, columns and steps. The rustic theme is further utilised in the gable ends with rough sawn weatherboards (Australian Heritage Database) and stunning stone staircases. High ceilings, classic leadlight features, reclaimed messmate timber flooring, art deco ceiling roses plus ducted heating and a crackling wood fire create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. There are many outdoor entertaining options whether it is on the covered deck which opens from the kitchen family room, the balcony at the front which overlooks the most beautiful garden setting or in the
