Description: Bundaleer is a sprawling National Trust classified homestead set on five park-like acres within walking distance of all the amenities of thriving Blayney. It is an easy commute to Orange and Bathurst with their wineries, restaurants, cafes, diverse employment, universities and schools. The vibrant villages of Millthorpe and Carcoar are a stone's throw away and Sydney and Canberra are just hours do the road. Built as a statement home in 1907, Bundaleer retains virtually every period feature while benefitting from several sympathetic craftsman-led additions and transformations. Step through the grand portico to be greeted by the arches of a commanding hall and wander the ground floor admiring the original pressed metal ceilings, marble fireplaces, Cypress pine flooring, 260mm skirting, honeycomb doorknobs and touch plates, stencilled fanlights and so much more going back to an era when homes were built to a quality and proportion that cannot be replicated in modern builds. Bundaleer exudes the grandeur of yesteryear, but kindles the ambience and intimacy of a cosy family home. Currently configured as 5 huge bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a huge dine-in country kitchen, stunning conservatory sunroom, formal lounge and dining room and an abundance of generous living, retreat and family areas, plus ample storage over two floors, it embodies versatility and functionality. While Bundaleer is unquestionably an impressive home, it is the grounds that set it apart. Inner and outer gardens, with decorative fountains and "Narnia lights" were carefully designed to present a kaleidoscope of colour no matter the season, punctuated by generations of stunning trees. As well as the beauty, there is the practicality of kitchen vegetable and herb gardens, fruit trees, a walk-in green house and chook run. Surrounding the gardens and adding to Bundaleer's tranquillity and privacy are six convenient paddocks, most with their own watering points, perfect for alpacas, goats, sheep, cattle or a pony for the kids. Within the garden lay two unimaginable jewels. Bundaleer's latest transformation is the "She Shed" which lovingly reimagined the building long known as the "bake house" into a heart of creativity and family bonding. Possibly one of the oldest remaining buildings in Blayney, perhaps predating the gold rush, the two-roomed "She Shed" conserves the wild timber framing, handmade bricks and fireplace with the comfort of traditional v-joint pine lining, French doors, bespoke lighting and wealth of power outlets. While it now stands as "her domain", the "She Shed" has strong potential as an art studio, man cave, guests retreat or focus of an imaginative heritage-based enterprise. Beyond it stands the "Pavilion". Reclaimed from a dilapidated shed, this entertainment precinct brought back to life the slab construction of Blayney's earliest colonial days, the largely lost craft of round wild timber construction, stamped colonial imported wrought iron roofing and enormous sleepers long ago salvaged from an unknown relic bridge or railway. Bundaleer is more than a home. It has been a special place in the lives of many. Purchased by the current custodians more than 40 years ago, Bundaleer homestead has been owned by just three families over its 120-year history. The grounds and out buildings have a heritage dating to Blayney's earliest colonial days. In addition to its wealth of historic features, natural gas, town water and a nine-bay concrete floored garage ensure modern day convenience. As Blayney spreads, there is the potential to make Bundaleer the focus of a prestige subdivision (subject to council DA). The only way to fully appreciate Bundaleer is to walk through its abundant rooms and grounds to imagine how you will be part of the next chapter its unique and iconic heritage.
