Ultimate lifestyle property in the heart of the Wagga Wagga region and only minutes to the CBD and state of the art equine facilities. Formally known as the Gumly Gumly Homestead circa 1874 – 1876, from the Georgian regency period. This historic and iconic grandeur homestead is set on a picturesque *43 acres and is rich in history and character.
The original Homestead and Servant Quarters comprised of 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms are built on bluestone foundations with solid thick handmade brick walls. The entire home has recently been repainted and carpeted inside. All original features existing have been honoured and respected. The original fret work and quoins are quite unique for the period and in excellent condition. The original timber floor boards exist in the formal and living areas.
It is rare for older homesteads to have storage, however, at Gumly Gumly Homestead storage is abundant with large cupboards, a huge walk in pantry, walk in robe, tool room, multipurpose room and cellar. The large fresh laundry has been recently renovated. The original Homestead is heated by ducted and zoned reverse cycle air conditioning with a large open fire in the formal living room and Bedroom 2. An additional slow combustion wood heater resides in the kitchen living area. The outer quarters have a wood heater and reversible fans in bedrooms. Due to the nature of the thick walls and insulation the house stays very cool in summer and easy to retain the heat in winter.
