Description
Hidden away on a family owned macadamia farm, among 180 acres of picturesque hinterland, The Dairy Nashua is a peaceful retreat with a unique history. The Dairy offers private, rustic luxury that's perfect for a couple seeking an opportunity to relax, connect with nature and escape from the pace of daily life.
Originally a milking shed, The Dairy has been lovingly converted into a New Zealand-inspired 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home, reflecting the perfect balance of preserving its original architectural features, such as gorgeous timber paneling and cathedral pitch beams with thoughtful, contemporary and vintage inspired decor.
With the dark and moody palette and textures, The Dairy combines a handsome kitchen, dining and living space, a large master bedroom and separate bathroom. The expansive glass doors in the living room ensure you soak in the breath-taking scenery and fresh country air whilst relaxing on the soft leather couch and lush vintage armchairs. During the evening, light up the fire pit, soak in the outdoor claw foot bath, or cook a feast on the BBQ and enjoy the star show.
The property's boundary is surrounded by Skinners Creek on 3 sides. Guests are welcome to enjoy and explore the serene waterhole on the estate hidden away just beyond The Dairy (1km). Jump in your vehicle (4-wheel drives are recommended but not necessary unless after heavy rainfall) or take a stroll along the scenic track to the water and enjoy a refreshing dip and a picnic from this private and picturesque gem (please note, the area is not fenced and adult supervision is essential for minors).
