In the very heart of Carcoar — one of Australia’s most beautifully preserved 19th-century villages — lies a property unlike any other. With origins tracing back to the 1840s–1850s, this landmark holding seamlessly blends its rich heritage with modern versatility.
A Historic Residence with Modern Appeal
Originally built as three adjoining terraces, once home to both shopfronts and private residences, the main dwelling now presents as a spacious, character-filled home ready to enjoy immediately. Behind its heritage façade, the home tells a story of craftsmanship and endurance, lovingly maintained by the current owners for over 24 years.
* Grand formal lounge and dining rooms with soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and working fireplaces that speak to its 19th-century charm.
* Intriguing floor hatches leading down to the original underground cellars — perfect for storage or your wine collection.
* An intimate sitting room with fireplace and feature staircase, offering a quiet retreat.
* A bright open family room at the rear, capturing leafy yard views across to the river and mountains — ideal for cozy winter evenings by the wood fire or relaxing with the convenience of reverse-cycle air conditioning.
* A practical kitchen at the heart of the home, featuring electric cooking, dishwasher, and ample storage — ready for an update or conversion to a commercial kitchen if desired.
* Downstairs bathroom with shower-over-bath and toilet for everyday convenience.
Upstairs, two staircases lead to a clever layout with open-plan living connecting bedrooms and creating privacy and flow. The master suite enjoys a fireplace, split-system air conditioning, ensuite access, and a large dressing room that could also serve as a study or fourth bedroom. Three sets of French doors open to a generous private balcony overlooking the historic streetscape — a perfect place to soak in village life.
Beneath the home, three stone cellars and a versatile rumpus space complete the picture. A relocated garage from Cowra, which was originally the guards barracks from the POW camp, adds further storage and practicality, blending seamlessly into the property’s layout.

Why Carcoar?
Known as the “time capsule town,” Carcoar was gazetted in 1840 and remains the third-oldest village in NSW. Its heritage streetscapes — sandstone terraces, historic churches, and riverside walks — transport you to another time. The village now thrives with arts, food, and tourism, drawing thousands each year. Carcoar’s annual Running Festival brings national attention, while a growing community of creatives, entrepreneurs, and tree-changers continue to breathe new life into the region.
