Properties like this rarely hit the market. This is a unique home that has a wonderful combination of location, history, space and modern living all wrapped up in a stunning riverfront package.

In a perfect, quiet river location, between Blanchetown and Morgan, the river traffic is very slow, and you have your own private beach.

The original homestead was built in 1908 (circa) from locally quarried sandstone with bullnose return verandah’s for one of the Crook Brothers, and has a long history in the area, supporting both local farms, and river traffic right back to the early 1900’s. Situated at historic Cooks Landing, it was a loading depot for wheat, wool, milk and sugar – and a large depositary for wood for the paddle steamers.

Today it is a character home of significant proportions, updated for the 21st century, with a long list of features including:
* 3.3m ceilings in main house and kitchen
