You’ll love the charming 'Elysian Estate', complete with development approval, subdivision potential, wide-open spaces and spectacular panoramic views! The property is nestled against the World-Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park and is located only moments from the boutique shops, and elegant cafés, of the renowned township of Leura. The proposed residence is a 2-3 bedroom “eco-friendly” loft home, with a wrap-around verandah, and tasteful ancillary storage shed. It offers 207 square metres of generous living space, without compromising on a quaint and cosy atmosphere when the time comes to cuddle up by the fireplace with your favourite book. Wake up each morning to breathtaking sunrises in the east, and gently drift off to sleep each night to the tranquil sounds of nature. This secluded mountain estate is situated in a friendly community, with a number of award-winning schools just a stone’s throw away. To add to this, the property is within close proximity to the well-known Three Sisters rock formations, is within walking distance of transport and other amenities, and is less than 2 hours from the thriving City of Sydney. Whether you yearn to build your dream home, manage your very own organic hobby farm, establish a retreat centre or wildlife sanctuary, form an intentional community subdivision, or start an eco-tourism venture, this incredible 40-acre holding is sure to delight!

The expansive “Elysian Estate” boasts a combination of generous cleared areas and pockets of pristine virgin bushland. A number of creeks, two of which are permanent, weave their way through the property. Elegantly sculpted rock outcrops feature throughout. A pocket of rare Blue Mountains Swamp exists towards the back of the property, at the foot of the enchanting 'Secret Valley'. From the clear and level building platform, one can enjoy uninterrupted views of the sunset, the sunrise, and the twinkle of city lights of an evening. To the north of the dwelling site, the ground rises gently to a small knoll, which showcases awe-inspiring vistas of Mount Banks, Mount Hay, and the northern portion of the Blue Mountains National Park - for as far as the eye can see.

Before a change of circumstances, the current owners had intentions of living “off-grid”, and obtained building approval for a self-sufficient, “eco-friendly”, straw-bale dwelling, that would utilise solar electricity generation, tank water and a minimal impact on-site sewage system. Nonetheless, mains electricity and telecommunications are available to the site. A principal water line runs the length of the eastern boundary on Mount Hay Road, which, coupled with the multitude of level building sites along the 232 metres of property frontage, may facilitate a potential subdivision (subject to council consultation).

The whole development enjoys a low BAL 29 rating, engendering minimal construction costs. The building consent incorporates a modest shed (currently used as a “tiny house” by the owners on weekends), to be rendered with earth, so as to harmonise with the straw-bale residence. The foundational structure of the shed is a 20ft steel shipping container, and as such, it can be easily removed to accommodate for those who have fostered a personalised vision for the property. There is also a charming hardwood timber meditation hut, that enjoys all day sun and breathtaking sunrise vistas.

There is sealed road access to the front of the property, and the current owners have improved the primary access road from Vista Parade, and private driveway, that service the proposed dwelling site. A second internal access road originates at the Mount Hay Road boundary, and terminates below the proposed house site, providing for an additional exit point.

For the organic grower, the soil has never been directly exposed to chemical pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers. Fertile creek flats on the western aspect of the property are ideal for the production of food gardens. The property boundary is partially fenced, and some aged internal fencing encases a small paddock for horses or other livestock.

For the outdoor enthusiast, there are a number of bushwalks both within the property and throughout this unique section of the National Park. The northern fence-line is shared with the Brahma Kumaris Centre for Spiritual Learning, which caters to visitors from around the world. Beyond the western perimeter of the property lies crown bushland, and the southern periphery is elevated above the picturesque Rawson Parade.

Swamp wallabies, king parrots, spotted quolls, ring-tailed possums, and wedge-tailed eagles, are just a few of the regular visitors to the property.

Multiple schooling options are available in the locale, with a K-10 Steiner school nearby, and various primary and secondary schools only a short drive away.

The local area offers an abundance of recreational opportunities, including world-class sightseeing, a cinema complex, a myriad of exclusive cafés, restaurants and wine bars, and access to all the benefits of city living, in a more relaxed environment.

Delight in complete quietude in your very own secluded mountain sanctuary, whilst residing in the tightly held Mount Hay Road community, at the premier post-code of Leura.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the right buyer to secure this rare offering, in such a highly prized pocket of Blue Mountains real estate.
