504 Punkalla Tilba Rd, Central Tilba NSW 2546, Australia
“Glen Roy” – Enjoy a peaceful healthy life in secluded valley and just on the outskirts of the magical tourist village of Central Tilba. This wonderful retreat-style property with a sturdy rambling spacious five-bedroom farmhouse, creek, dams, shed and much more on a 44 acre organic farm.
The north facing farmhouse is a conversion from two small houses into one large and spacious rustic abode with all the mod cons yet a feeling of cosy wholesome simplicity. Suits an intergenerational family group or use half the house as a Bed & Breakfast for extra income.
There are 5 bedrooms, with the delightful main being upstairs in a large loft with views overlooking the valley. Three other good size bedrooms fit queen beds and the 5th bedroom is the only single, having built-ins and suited to a child or teenager.
Features of the main house include two bathrooms, two lounge areas, a large foyer/dinging area and adjoining south-facing “summer veranda”. On the other side of the house, the original narrow winter veranda is bathed in Tilba sun all through the winter. Excellent passive heating is another welcome feature of this quirky but well-built house.
In addition – there is a pretty cabin/cottage in the backyard, which is currently used as a treatment/meditation room but could also be a 6th bedroom, teenage retreat, overflow guest accommodation or a private Airbnb rental.
Down the hill are two water-tight caravans perched around a huge industrial quality shed on a concrete slab with power, water and a hot water service is available and ready to go. The large shed was previously used as a dance studio and the current owners use this as a quiet space for healing arts. Easily converted back to a garage with workspace, storage space or trades people who require a workshop and/or preparation area.
Being near self-sufficient, this property has large vegetable gardens, extensive flower beds and a small orchard with many citrus varieties, mulberries, quince, figs, apples bananas and olives. Across the semi-permanent creek is a stone labyrinth, some apple trees, and several peaceful places to sit and enjoy the sounds of the native birds and wildlife. This property will appeal to people with interest in organic farming or permaculture and sustainability or just into a natural lifestyle. Ideal as a horse property as there is a simple stable and farm shed for a tack room. Currently three horses call Glen Roy their home.
Four dams are on the farm with the extra-large main dam connected via a firefighting petrol pump to fill two concrete water tanks which gravity feed the house. A large house roof area means rainwater is easily collected for drinking water.
Enjoy tranquil, healthy, comfortable country living at this magical property. Handy to cafes and shops, being just a mere 7 minutes drive on mostly sealed roads from Tilba village. Verging on to State Forest there is complete privacy in this incredibly special property.
