A land grant in the 1850s saw the property of "Shillington" come to pass.
The current residence is perched a little higher on the hill than the original cottage where only seasonal bulbs continue to show their faces.
The 72 acres is accessed via a 500m concrete driveway, through predominantly lush rainforest with approximately six acres of cleared usable land.
The stables and yards could accommodate a couple of horses along with maybe a few goats or alpacas, certainly some chickens and the occasional veggie patch.
The home was built in 1997 with an extensive renovation in 2004, which doubled the floor plan.
All verandahs capture sunshine and shade for year long outdoor living and entertaining.
The four bedrooms, three bathrooms (including ensuite), very spacious living and dining areas, gorgeous timber parquetry floors, a study and mud room, open plan kitchen area and internal access from the garage, offer little for a new owner to do except enjoy the tranquil setting and nature at its best.
The combustion fire, solar panels for power and hot water and tank water promote self sufficiency for your new life in the country.
"Shillington" is only five minutes from the historic village of Jamberoo, around 20 minutes to Kiama beaches and cafes and approximately 90 minutes to Sydney's southern suburbs.
