Imagine a page of Australian history brought to life like the set of Downton Abbey, framed by the dramatic topography of Picnic at Hanging Rock - this is the spellbinding reality of Rockwood Hill.

Romance. Intrigue. Rural beauty. 75 gum-studded acres, three timeworn stone cottages, and a meticulously crafted English manor, all just minutes from the village heart of Wistow.

The arrival is almost cinematic. Set back from Long Valley Road, the estate's 30 hectares unfurl in a rich tapestry of rolling paddocks, ancient eucalypts, mirror-like dams, and a seasonal watercourse - a landscape both postcard-perfect and highly practical for livestock or equestrian pursuits.

At its heart, the breathtaking six-bedroom, two-bathroom stone manor stands as a tribute to artisanal craftsmanship - a home that nods to the grace of yesteryear while embracing the comfort and ease of modern living.

Exposed beams and rugged stonework honour its handcrafted origins; the ground floor flows from formal living and dining rooms through to the rustic yet fully equipped country kitchen, casual meals, and generous laundry with separate WC.

Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms include a primary bedroom with a fully tiled contemporary ensuite, while the family bathroom exudes heritage charm with its traditional roll-top bath.

The loft space - currently disposed as two 7m x 7m bedrooms - says anything is possible.

Beyond the manor, the estate offers a wealth of infrastructure for lifestyle or enterprise. Savour the privacy, create a working estate or realise a thriving commercial vision - a wedding venue, destination restaurant, boutique retreat or luxury farm-stay.

Inspiring seclusion that lets you steer the narrative.

Let's not forget the trio of character cottages (currently without power or water) adjoining an ablution block, and an expansive open-plan function centre complete with a chef's kitchen and a feature stone fireplace worthy of a fairytale ceremony.

Wherever your vision takes you - from the boutique to the flamboyant or straight to pasture for agricultural pursuits - there's little to hold you back…

'Rockwood Hill' is as rare as it is remarkable, etched in stone, nature and history, and it sets a phenomenal foundation for your most ambitious rural dreams.
