20 Bodycotts Lane, Fitzroy Falls, NSW, Australia

Down a fairy-tale laneway, enter 'Elysium' with gently wooded pastures giving way to a tree-lined driveway that meanders to a beautiful home and guest cottage with spectacular water views. Serene and private, the 60 acres are organised for hassle free livestock management. The 2016 built Hardiplank and brick main home and a 2021 built two-bedroom guest cottage (currently listed on Airbnb as 'Elysium Cottage') are both modern, bright and delightful.
In the main home, floor-to ceiling glass in the living rooms and the master bedroom wing provide the sensation of being surrounded by nature. The master wing contains a large bedroom, double walk-in robe, spacious ensuite and a well-sized study. The centre of the house is the entertaining area, with two lounge zones, an open-plan dining area and large modern kitchen with Miele appliances that flows to a butler's pantry with a second sink area, there is room for a family to spread out. European oak floorboards in the living areas lead to quality wool carpets in the bedrooms. A second wing contains three bedrooms, all with built-in robes and a glamorous family bathroom, large laundry with views and separate powder room. Modern pendant lights and linen blackout curtains add tasteful glamour as does the sandstone wall with built-in Jetmaster fire. There is also reverse cycle ducted air-conditioning throughout. Step outside through stackable glass sliding doors with phantom flyscreens onto the covered entertaining deck for al fresco dining and reclining – the views are divine.
Across the lawns, 'Elysium Cottage' is a cosy, two-bedroom darling with a full kitchen and bathroom that is very popular for weekend bookings for those seeking a passive income. It has a freestanding slow combustion wood burner for cosy winters, plus reverse-cycle air-conditioning. With its private parking area and own garden with similar water views to the main house, it is also perfect for guests or extended family.
The farm is in pristine condition – four newly fenced paddocks currently run approximately 30 head of cattle on premium improved pastures. Fifteen percent of the acreage is grassed woodland with the undergrowth cleared for stock grazing. Three large dams plus a small fourth dam provide plenty of water. The property would also suit horses.
A new 3-bay machinery shed and a second equipment shed provide plenty of farm and garden amenity. The home also has 3-phase power. An orchard containing blueberries, pears and lemons sits adjacent to delightful raised vegetable beds. A fenced-off hazelnut orchard is seeded for truffles: your home-grown truffles should be mature in approximately 12-18 months. Plenty of established exotic deciduous and flowering trees offer colour but the garden beds are planted extensively with natives for low maintenance country living.
Just an eleven minute drive to the awarded Burrawang Village Hotel or Burrawang General Store for village epicurean delights and under an hour to Kiama beach or Shoalhaven Heads, this is 'escape to the country' in pure comfort, with all the hard work already complete and not a cent to spend.
