There are properties you buy, and then there are properties you remember.
Glenrock is one of those properties.
Set across an impressive 103 acres (41.86 hectares) and framed by sweeping views towards the surrounding mountain ranges, Glenrock is an extraordinary country estate where history, architecture and lifestyle come together.
At the heart of the property stands a beautiful historic homestead, thoughtfully restored and renovated by its architect-owner. Every detail reflects a careful balance between preserving the home's original character and introducing considered modern comforts.
From the moment you arrive, the winding road takes you back to its past. Upon arrival at the front gates, the old machinery shed takes you back to the old colonial days steeped in history and fully powered. This sets the scene winding up the road, Glenrock homestead sits magnificently looking over the valley.
The homestead wraparound verandahs, original timber floors and soaring ceilings capture the charm of a bygone era, while the architecturally considered renovation brings a refined sense of contemporary country living. The result is a home that feels both authentic and beautifully resolved - old-world charm complemented by modern functionality, without losing the soul of the original residence.
The home offers ducted air conditioning, two bedrooms, with the master enjoying direct access to the verandah and convenient access to the beautifully appointed bathroom - a space that feels as though it has stepped straight from the pages of a design magazine.
The heart of the home is the open-plan family and dining area, flowing effortlessly via bi-fold doors onto a generous covered entertaining area, creating an enviable setting for long lunches, weekend gatherings and relaxed country living. The entertaining area also offers the flexibility to be enclosed if desired to bring the outdoors in.
A country-style timber kitchen completes the home, featuring a Luxe oven and stove alongside charming original features. A wood fireplace adds warmth and ambience, perfectly complementing the home's blend of old-world charm and modern living.
Outside, the property is equally impressive.
Mature tree canopy surrounds the old machinery shed, anchoring the property history.

The land offers a beautiful blend of open country and established surrounds, complemented by two dams, bore water access with submersible pump, a 20,000-litre freshwater tank and the original barn.
With Wollemi National Park adjoining two sides of the property, the sense of privacy and connection to nature is exceptional.
