Overview
Larbert Cottage is an exceptional rural homestead steeped in historical significance and restored with meticulous care, offering a serene retreat less than an hour from Canberra. Nestled between Bungendore and Braidwood, this property showcases authentic early colonial architecture through its two-storey sandstone residence, distinguished by original materials such as 500mm thick stone walls that provide excellent thermal mass for seasonal comfort.
Dating back to the early nineteenth century, Larbert House embodies a fascinating legacy intertwined with pioneering families of the region. The property has served diverse community roles over time while maintaining its character, and recent enhancements balance heritage with modern living through sensitive renovations including a new kitchen, refined interiors, flooring, and a completely replaced roof, all under the guidance of a specialist architect.
The homestead offers approximately 200 square meters of living space with a thoughtful layout comprising five bedrooms, including a spacious first-floor master suite with a walk-in robe, and three bathrooms equipped with baths. Multiple living zones cater to both formal and informal occasions, featuring open fireplaces and a slow combustion wood fire, while the farmhouse kitchen is well-appointed with practical elements ideal for daily living and entertaining.
Self-sufficiency is a key aspect of the property, with solar power supported by lithium battery storage and extensive rainwater tanks supplying the home and studio. High-speed internet connectivity and a septic treatment system ensure modern comfort in a rural setting, supplemented by a stone-lined spring-fed well.
An independent 100-square-meter studio/workshop enhances flexibility for guests or creative endeavors, complete with its own amenities and sharing essential services with the main residence. Additional facilities include a two-car carport, secure storage containers, and practical outdoor sheds, all complemented by established gardens featuring orchard trees, vegetables, and traditional country landscaping that enrich the rural lifestyle ambiance.
Larbert Cottage appeals to those who appreciate heritage charm combined with functional contemporary living and sustainable rural amenities. Its privacy, scenic vistas, and historical roots make it a rare opportunity for custodians seeking a distinguished country home within accessible proximity to the city.
