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 26 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.

Why Carcoar?
Known as the “time capsule town,” Carcoar was gazetted in 1840 and remains the third-oldest village in New South Wales. 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.
