"ROSEBANK COTTAGE" Murray River Historical Country Home Circa 1860's
This historical country home is nestled in a service area off Mount Terrick Road with other country estates. 1485 Mount Terrick Road can be described as a quiet sanctuary in a stunning location on 7224m2 (approx.) block of land complete with original trees and period style garden.
The building has a rich history, first on record in the 1860's as being the home of the River Boat Master, Captain Dorward.
Captain Dorward relocated the original cottage from the banks of the Murray River in Old Moama to Boundary Road Moama. The cottage was marked for demolition by the Council in 1996 which is now the supermarket complex on Perricoota Road and Cobb Highway. To save the property from demolition it was purchased and relocated in 1997, to its current location at 1485 Mount Terrick Road, to accommodate this marvelous piece of local Murray River agricultural and architectural history.
It does not end there......the studio complex at the front of the property alongside the dam is the old Pyramid Hill Police Station, complete with the old interview room, toilet, and prisoner height measuring apparatus. The studio can easily be converted to a 4th bedroom or guest accommodation.
As you enter the main cottage you are greeted by a beautiful entry and off to the left is the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, with the other two bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. The large separate dining and lounge room featuring open fire place, are well appointed with large ceilings and keeping with the era of Australian colonial construction of redgum framing and Murray Pine timber ceilings and floors.
A modern kitchen will delight the fussiest of chefs and is big enough with a spacious meals area for casual dining and family conversation. The outdoor verandahs are generous and perfect for relaxed outdoor dining and evening refreshments.
