220 Garryowen Rd Binalong NSW 2584

The Savaun Homestead was built in 1917 by a team of Irish stonemasons after they built the Binalong Catholic Church, its Presbytery, and the Mechanic’s Institute.

Savaun is positioned on 132 acres on the very edge of the Binalong village, only 2.5kms from the Post Office, 36kms from Yass, 300kms to the Sydney International Airport and 110kms to Canberra International Airport.

The Savaun Homestead is a statement of its era and class and was built accordingly with a visually stunning entrance, hand cut granite stone walls, French doors and wide verandahs. Whilst inside one can appreciate the craftsmanship; elaborate and decorative stained glass bi-fold door installed into the current dining room in the 1920's, stained-glass port hole window, a beautiful cedar bay window with seating, French doors, 6 open fireplaces, wide hallways, high ceilings, decorative plaster ceilings, polished timber floors and more.

Whilst preserving the heritage of the Savaun home some recent renovations have been completed since 2008. A new kitchen was installed featuring quality kitchen cabinetry, solid granite benchtops, double farmhouse white ceramic sink, Miele integrated dishwasher, Smeg microwave and Belling 4 door range induction cooktop with 5 cook zones. The kitchen adjoins the original butler’s pantry and servery plus a renovated laundry and second bathroom. Both bathrooms were completed with heated flooring and granite bench top vanities.

The living room is stately in appearance. There is an extensive use of Tasmanian Blackwood throughout which includes the fire mantel piece, formal timber wall paneling, window frames and skirting boards. A cedar door opens out onto the verandah and double hung Cedar sash windows with original hand-blown glass inserts frame the views out into the garden. The original Crystal Chandelier still ordains this room below a unique ornate plaster ceiling.

The Savaun home provides four queen bedrooms (2 with built in cupboards & suitable for king beds) plus a study and 2 bathrooms, satisfying the needs of most modern families.

This magnificent bluestone homestead is positioned overlooking the Binalong village and the surrounding countryside grazing sheep, cattle and crops, typical of the Southern Tablelands.
