Old World Charm ~ Mount Elrington Homestead

Rambling old gardens that have stood the test of time, serene rolling views, fertile soils and Mount Creek flowing through the property are just a handful of the charming features this old world homestead has to offer. Period properties of this size and character are a rare find and while the current owners have restored a huge portion of this property, it’s time to pass the baton to another special family to continue the preservation and restoration of what history has left for us to cherish. Located 18 kms (15 minutes approx.) South West from historic Braidwood across the sparkling Shoalhaven River, ‘Mount Elrington’ is a truly special rural property.

THE HOUSE and gardens (circa 1827) are steeped in history from the convict jailhouse ruins to the hand formed water race and the age-old garden. The main residence features a formal parlour, family room, library, five double bedrooms and study; all boast elegant fireplaces and mantles. The kitchen block features eat in timber kitchen with pantry and generous lounge and dining room spilling into a superb courtyard garden.

THE LAND is 12.43 HA (30 acres approx.) of fertile soil and quality pasture, the main feature of the land is the tranquil Mount Creek running through the block. The fencing is good with a total of 8 paddocks.

OTHER FEATURES include shearing shed and generous timber barn both in very good condition and would be suitable to convert into extensive guest accommodation. There are 5 tanks totaling 212,000 litres of water.

Originally owned and built by Major Elrington before Braidwood was settled, this property is Heritage listed on the state and local registers enabling the property to access a number of financial grants to complete the restoration. The current owners have a large amount of building material on site to contribute to the build…all you need is the labour. All of the artefacts will remain with the property, including the wool press. This tranquil property would suit a B&B enterprise, wedding venue or equally a serene family homestead.
