Situated within walking distance of the historic Kurrajong village, Stonewood is a unique country house set on 4 hectares of native bushland.
The sanctuary features Western Sydney dry rainforest and several pristine natural creeks, forming part of a “superhighway” for native wildlife. Platypus, koalas, wallabies, reptiles and 45 native bird species call this sanctuary home.
The current owners have carefully conserved Stonewood as a wildlife refuge, koala corridor and research site for native species.
The homestead is crafted from Australian sandstone and timber, featuring hardwood floors throughout. It features three bedrooms, rumpus room and open plan living, dining and kitchen area.
The house is supported by a 10-kilowatt solar system, fireplace, two large water tanks and Envirocycle waste system. Surrounding the home are 12 car spaces, a large shed and a small citrus orchid.
