UPDATE: A historic Georgian inn, known as Native Home, has just hit the market near Bathurst, presenting a unique opportunity for buyers interested in a luxurious lifestyle farm. This property, with its rich history dating back to 1839, offers not only stunning grounds but also potential income avenues from cropping or livestock.
The inn, originally a Cobb & Co stop for coaches traveling between Bathurst and Goulburn, was a hub for travelers and locals alike. It is steeped in local lore, including brushes with notorious bushranger Ben Hall. In a thrilling twist, Hall’s gang attempted to rob the inn but fled upon learning police were present.
Real estate agent Stewart Murphy emphasizes the property’s dual appeal: “It has enough land and improvements to generate income, or you could lease the paddocks to a local farmer.” The inn ceased operations in 1912 and has since been transformed into a modern home, complete with an in-ground pool and an additional cottage.
This exquisite homestead features three bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite bathroom, plus a versatile large room that could serve as a study, library, or additional bedroom. With a formal lounge and dining area, the layout is designed for both comfort and entertaining. A sunroom that opens to a side deck offers the perfect space for gatherings, while a wraparound verandah enhances outdoor relaxation.
The separate cottage includes a bedroom with a walk-in robe, a lounge, kitchen, and a well-appointed bathroom, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds featuring another outdoor entertaining area.
This property is more than just a home; it’s a slice of history with modern comforts and potential for income. For more details, visit view.com.au and explore properties around Bathurst.
