933 Icely Road, Orange

Once in a lifetime!

WHAT WE LOVE
The Old Church (circa 1873) has undergone an Architect designed, award winning renovation, to complement and utilise the natural surroundings. It sits on almost an acre (3300m2) of delightful gardens with lovely views to the surrounding farmland. The church building, which showcases many original features, offers a large living space where you can entertain or just quietly read a book by the fire. The custom-made kitchen includes stone benchtops, an Ilve stove, and polished granite splashbacks. The home includes four bedrooms, the main with a walk-in robe and ensuite with french doors leading to a private courtyard. With multiple living areas, this property could provide a unique B&B retreat. Located opposite the award-winning Mayfield Vineyard, it's an easy 10-minute drive to the city limits of Orange and 18 minutes to the airport. This home is like no other, it is a gorgeous place to live.

WHAT THE OWNERS LOVE
I feel privileged to live in a historic house with direct links to the first payable gold in the colony. There are several areas of repose in the refurbished garden and beautiful unobstructed views over rolling farmland (without the hard work of maintaining a larger plot). The private cloistered courtyard is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a coffee or to read a good book. The home has a sublime character and only an 8 minute drive to Orange.
