Overview

Perched above the tranquil village of Candelo, this heritage residence known as the Old Convent stands as a compelling blend of history, architectural distinction, and serene rural living. Its origins trace back to 1898 when St Mary McKillop founded St Joseph’s convent here, embedding a legacy of education, compassion, and determination deeply interwoven with the property’s story.

The property boasts a unique fusion of Federation and Victorian Gothic Revival architectural styles, expressed vividly through its double-brick construction, elegant Gothic windows, and intricate wrought iron lacework. These period details contribute to the home's distinguished character and timeless charm.

Inside, high ceilings and spacious rooms enhance the sense of grandeur while original timber floors and open fireplaces instil warmth and a welcoming ambiance throughout. The home seamlessly combines these classic elements with thoughtfully updated kitchens and bathrooms, providing modern comforts that respect the residence’s enduring architectural integrity.

Set within established gardens spanning approximately 2,614 square metres, the elevated position affords picturesque views across the scenic countryside. Extensive outdoor spaces including a balcony, courtyard, and fully fenced grounds enrich the lifestyle appeal, offering a peaceful and private sanctuary in harmony with nature.

This distinguished home features three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, and parking for three vehicles, accommodating a variety of living arrangements. Its expansive living areas, rumpus room, and study spaces suggest versatile potential suited to families, creative retreats, or those seeking a residence with exceptional historical pedigree.

The Old Convent’s rare blend of historical significance, character, and modern living comfort presents a singular opportunity to own a piece of Australia’s heritage, brimming with elegance, tranquility, and enduring beauty.
