Beautifully restored historic bluestone homestead situated on 30 rolling acres (approx.) of prime Reidsdale countryside (option of additional 450 acres adjoining land). Located only 20 minutes (approx.) from historic Braidwood, this exquisite piece of Braidwood history is a rare offering indeed.
Built in 1859, Foxhill was an integral part of the gold mining era. The home was built as an Inn where travellers stopped over night between Araluen and Braidwood . The freestanding Gunnery, now used as guest accommodation, was once used as a secure hold to store the highly prized gold that was transported for sale in Braidwood. The small but deep windows are a testament to the protection of the gold with rifles used by the red coats to fight off the local bush rangers. Apparently on one occasion the bush rangers won!
The HOMESTEAD was brought back to life approximately 10 years ago and now offers the discerning buyer a very special home. The use of glass and forged metal compliment the granite stone and wood throughout the home. Featuring a central lounge and dining room with combustion fire linked by a glass conservatory through to the main bedroom suite. Both the kitchen and conservatory open out to a sun-drenched stone courtyard with water feature. The Gunnery is currently used as a home office with upstairs loft bedroom and ensuite.
