Fancy starting your own boutique wine label on the outskirts of Braidwood?

From the main gate to the vineyard, this landmark Braidwood home will delight and enchant with undeniable charm and country practicality.

Luton Properties real estate agent Miriana Cavic describes 12 Durran Durra Place as "a well-known attraction in Braidwood and beyond".

“Everyone who drives past that road knows the big white house,” Miriana says. “When you drive up to it, you just have to stop for a second and say, ‘Wow!'”

Miriana says the Victorian-era design has left a clear mark on the property, also known as Durran Durra.

“It has beautiful 10-foot-high ceilings with cornices, period light pieces, archways and fireplaces,” she says.

But recent renovations mean prospective owners will also enjoy modern creature comforts. The homestead boasts six bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

The kitchen is adorned with stone benchtops, a period rangehood and a vintage Bellings cooktop and oven.

The size of the home means that family members, friends and guests can each have their own space while still being together.

“It has so many different spaces where people can co-exist without seeing each other," Miriana says.

“It’s got that country feel, where you all work in the big kitchen with a big pantry out the back.

“Every room has a big window looking out to the green, and it’s got a verandah surrounding the whole property, giving you somewhere to sit and relax.”

For those who love tending to nature, the property has its own vineyard, berry and vegetable patches, a greenhouse and an orchard with more than 140 fruit trees.

There is also an American-style barn, machinery shed, water tank and bore, a carport with three parking spaces, a bee hive and two dams.

A previous owner established the vineyard, along with winepresses and other winemaking facilities.

Set on eight hectares, the property is perfect for someone looking to escape the rush of city living or a farmer who wants to downsize a little but can’t bring themselves to fully ‘retire’ from the land.

“It’s a family home, but it could also be used for entertaining,” Miriana says.

“If you wanted to do weekend getaways, it’s got that vibe as well.”

The next owner will be just 10 minutes from Braidwood (and one hour from Canberra) at a time when the town is undergoing somewhat of a renaissance, Miriana says.

“There are a lot of country towns that are now becoming a big hit, with good Airbnbs and other attractions – Braidwood is turning into one of those. You used to drive through to the coast, but now people are stopping," she says.

“It’s becoming more of a destination in its own right.”

Durran Durra is for sale between $2.1 and $2.3 million.
