Beautiful Architecturally Designed Cottage in Blue Mountains w/ Valley Views

Located in the mid-mountains, Chiltern is located on an acre that backs on to the Blue Mountains National Park , with no adjoining properties on these boundary lines on the south or western boundary of the property, while the home to the east is owned by a family based in Sydney is rarely occupied. To the north is the street frontage, with a thick verge that is planted with two tall, dense garden beds that offer a substantial privacy screen from the road. This means guests will often enjoy a rare quiet not afforded by most guest houses. The home itself is architecturally renovated, with the original cottage encased in the new dwelling, baring witness to the layers of history and each owners sensitive touches. Guests are surrounded by the owner's art collection and the interior has been attentively considered after years of the owners living in the space. The cottage garden is award winning and sustainably designed, with a beautiful variety of continentals—that act as a firebreak— and natives closer to the bush. There is also a pond with a water feature home to a variety of frog species from Banjo Frogs to Peron's Tree Frogs, that also provides much needed hydration during bushfires to local bird life. It is birdscaped for the local birds and houses a wide variety of species from Honey Eaters, that occupy the low lying shrubbery, to the elusive Wonga Pigeons. While the cottage garden's charm is pleasant and calming for guests, the splendor of the bushland in the national park, viewable from the cottage and the garden, gives guests an expansive sense of nature's grandeur. Walks in Terrace Falls Valley's are only minutes away by car (also in walking distance) and guests can immerse themselves in a nature bath of spectacular old growth Eucalypts and Turpentine trees.
