No. 306 Widgiewa Road, Carwoola is up for sale.
Dreaming of a French provincial lifestyle but not keen to leave Australian shores?
This stunningly-crafted, rustic, stone and timber property at Carwoola, a mere 30-minute drive from Canberra, could be the perfect fit.
Created and nurtured by artist, Kerry McInnis, alongside Mike MacGregor, an industrial engineer who specialises in metal work, 306 Widgiewa Road evokes sentiments of a French provincial home amid the peaceful privacy of the Australian bush.

The property, dubbed Heaven’s Bridge, features a coverage carriageway, stone courtyard and striking stone walls, as well as timber doors constructed from recycled bridge timbers.
A romantic setting.
Beautiful stone work.
Beautiful cottage gardens, soaring native trees, an orchard and the meandering Whiskers Creek, which flows through the property, provide restful natural surrounds.
Selling agent Ryan Broadhurst, from Belle Property, Queanbeyan, said the property represented a tale of two worlds – a secluded position on a bush block, yet just half an hour to the heart of Canberra.
“Two artists have built this property over the last 30 years. They’ve built it themselves and it’s absolutely beautiful,” Mr Broadhurst said.
“It really has the best of both worlds – 40 acres within half an hour’s drive to the centre of Canberra.”
The two-storey property offers three bedrooms in the main home, which has a cosy fireplace and hand-forged detailing in the main living area, while the breakfast room captures a vista of the garden and orchard.
Cosy living.
There are several buildings that are part of the property.
There are several outbuildings including an expansive artists’ studio with a mud brick machinery workshop and built-in forge. In addition, there is a self-contained cottage and studio with a sprung wood floor that could cater as a dance, yoga or martial arts space.
The garage has capacity for three vehicles and there is also an attic.
The property is due to go to auction on Thursday 3 September at 5pm.
