Hidden Hillside Retreat with Exceptional Infrastructure – 15 Acres
This hidden gem is set just 5km from the Ararat township on approximately 15 acres of undulating land, once forming part of the historic Cathcart Ridge Estate Winery, with remnants of original vineyard trellising still in place. Quietly nestled atop an elevated ridge, the property enjoys breathtaking views to Mount Ararat and the surrounding rolling hills.
The accommodation comprises a charming two-bedroom mudbrick cottage filled with character and natural light. Large north-facing picture windows capture scenic bushland vistas, while the bathroom features a spa bath positioned to take in the stunning outlook. The kitchen is simple yet functional, and year-round comfort is assured with a wood heater and a large split-system air conditioner.
From the cottage, access is provided to the original underground cellar, leading to an impressive array of shedding and infrastructure. A rustic studio or "man cave," constructed from railway sleepers, includes a pot-belly wood heater, bar, and basic kitchen and bathroom amenities-ideal for entertaining, creative pursuits, or conversion to a studio, office, or showroom for a home-based business.
