Welcome to 412 Smythesdale–Snake Valley Road, Hillcrest — a rare country haven combining character, charm, and opportunity. Set on approx. 6 tranquil acres with three dams, fruit orchards, and mature gardens, this exceptional lifestyle property features a character-filled main residence, along with two beautiful standalone mud brick buildings, including a self-contained chapel with Airbnb potential.

The main home blends 1890s heritage charm with modern country comfort, offering:
- 3 bedrooms (or 2 plus a sunroom),
- 1 central bathroom,
- 2 spacious living zones,
- an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with fresh vinyl flooring,
- and a north-facing sunroom that captures natural light year-round.

Set apart from the main house are two stunning mud brick outbuildings. One is a converted chapel with soaring timber ceilings and abundant character, perfect as a future Airbnb, studio, or guest retreat. The second is a versatile mud brick space ready for creative use. Materials to add a bathroom to the chapel are already on hand, allowing for easy conversion to a fully self-contained accommodation.

The beautifully maintained 2-acre garden envelope features meandering pathways freshly topped for spring, framed by high fences to keep the kangaroos out. There’s a thriving apple orchard, multiple other fruit trees, a chicken coop, and excellent water infrastructure including:
- 3 dams,
- 5 water tanks,
- and pumps servicing the garden.
Additional improvements include multiple sheds, a large carport, and dual access from the road for practicality.
