A Cudlee Creek home offers an idyllic Hills lifestyle close to quality wineries, and could be used for a range of businesses.
Donna and her husband bought the home at 163 Cudlee Creek Rd three years ago, and have since renovated it throughout.
“Everything that could be changed, repaired, replaced or repainted, from the front door to the back fence, we’ve done it,” Donna says.

“It used to be a BnB and we’ve done that part up and modernised it – I don’t rent it out but you easily could, and friends stay over and can wake up and have their own wing of the house, and all of our guests want to stay longer.
“We hosted my sister’s wedding here and set up a massive marquee out the back – it’s certainly a place to entertain and have parties.
“The property itself is like really stepping into a botanical gardens – you can hear the creek run from the house, it’s lovely.”
The home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, covered parking for seven cars, an extensive 90-panel 20kW sun-tracking solar system, a cellar, an outdoor entertainment pavilion and extensive equestrian facilities.
“You can make around $8000 a year from the solar panels, and that’s on top of your free power,” Donna says.
It’s listed with an asking price between $1.1 million and $1.15 million. Supplied: Williams Real Estate.
“We also put a massive commercial generator in I call the ‘Yellow Submarine’, and that can power the home for four days on one tank.
“It’s a great income-producing property, which, if you wanted to run the BnB could be something really special.
“It would be perfect for young families with ponies, or if you just want to run some sheep and have a beautiful country lifestyle it would be great even for downsizers.
“It’s very easy to maintain. I’ve got some ponies and horses and the home has CCTV throughout the property, even in the stables, so I can be inside and watch my horses sleep and you can check up on them from wherever you are.
“There are plenty of opportunities here.”
With the property transformed, the couple are now ready to let someone else enjoy it.
“It was my forever home, moving up from the city, but now our situation’s changed and we’re looking to downsize to something that’s a little easier to manage as we get older,” Donna says.
