Aroona - A Beautiful Place

Hidden away in the beautiful Molonglo valley, Aroona is a stunning property with a rich and colourful history. The homestead was built in 1928 for London directors of the Lake George Mining Company. The decorative period features and the quality of the finish show that no money was spared creating this elegant residence.

The homestead

The residence has 4 spacious bedrooms with garden views. The master bedroom is a true sanctuary. It is on the eastern side of the home; warm in winter but cool in the summer months. The period ensuite has a unique charm with an original bath tub you must see for yourself. All bedrooms are generous sizes. The family bathroom is neat as a pin.

The large country style kitchen overlooks a courtyard surrounded by feature stone walls and gardens. The kitchen is equipped with a Stanley wood burning cooker and separate gas stove. The huge timber bench tops complement plenty of storage and there is a more than 40 dozen bottle wine cellar.

The living areas are a highlight of the property. Hardwood floors flow from the entrance hall to dining and sitting rooms. French doors to the northerly sunroom and high ceilings invite you to relax or entertain with ease. Open fires and a dual sided combustion fire place add to the ambiance.

A lovely study or drawing room has open fireplace and is overlooking the gardens and distant views.

Self-contained accommodation.

Tremendous value is added to the property with a large self-contained one bedroom guest wing, ideal for extended family or visitors.


Garden and Grounds

Not only is the residence full of character, but the grounds write their own story in social history. The full size tennis court and swimming pool, complete with paddling pool, adjoin the remains of the former Lake George Mine staff club house.

A studio cabin with fire place, chook runs, cubby house and outdoor entertaining cottage are added features, complemented by seasonal flower and vegetable gardens and fruit trees.

Only minutes from the historic town of Captains Flat, Aroona is within easy commuting distance to Canberra. The property is set over a picturesque 10 acres, and could easily be developed as an exclusive getaway, wedding centre or guesthouse, or kept simply as it is now, a beautiful place to call home.
