Vibrant home to sell for first time in 140 years
<p dir="ltr">A bright yellow and blue farmhouse in the foothills of the Berry mountain ranges in southern NSW <a href="https://www.allhomes.com.au/245-croziers-road-berry-nsw-2535?tid=181126183" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has hit the market</a> for the first time in over a century.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The home, known affectionately as The Bellevue, sits on 166 hectares of land in Berry and is one of the largest properties on the market in the area, according to selling agent Shane Hilaire of Ray White Berry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“A 300-acre [121.4-hectare] farm was sold in the backend just last year,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“[The Bellevue] was built in 1890 as a typical farmhouse cottage and evolved along with the family over time, so it still has that homey feel much like that of a grandparent’s house. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“All the timber found throughout the home was sourced from the property itself … and there’s secure water from the Flying Fox Creek that passes through [the property].”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Having been built in the late 1800s, the home has plenty of characteristics from the era, including weatherboard cladding, high ceilings, a deck and an iron roof.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But it also has some modern touches that have been incorporated over the years since, such as solar panels and air conditioners.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each of its four bedrooms boasts views of the luscious gardens outside - which includes original rose bushes planted when the house was built - with French doors leading out to the hardwood wraparound verandahs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The established garden also boasts beds of coffee and grape vines, with two creeks running through the property.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Just like its bold exterior, the home is quite colourful on the inside too, with a bright red lounge room hosting a cosy blue fireplace, matching blue cabinetry in the kitchen, and green panelling in the entryway, corridors and living area.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The sprawling property is also close to necessities, with Berry’s town centre just seven kilometres away.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Mr Hilaire added that the property has protected rural zones, offering its new owners the opportunity to raise cattle and embrace the farming life.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The best part of this property is the opportunities it offers,” he said. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“The new owners could set up other buildings on the land or just enjoy the good road access.”</p>
