Lifestyle changers considering an escape to the country may find exactly what they are looking for in Braidwood.
Just minutes into the heritage-listed town sits the historic "Shadowlands" on just over two hectares of magnificently landscaped grounds.
The faithfully extended cottage dates to c1875 when it was built by the pioneering McInnes family. It is regarded as one of Braidwood's special period homes, enhanced by a breathtaking rural backdrop.

The gardens have been recognised in recent years by Australian Open Gardens and the popular Braidwood Open Gardens.
Other property features include a double garage, rear land access, garden tool and potting sheds plus a dry shed house, town water, a 25,000-litre water tank, septic tank, main phone line and excellent mobile reception. The school bus stops at the gate.
