The Castle - A unique piece of Australian History

Set on 11 acres of established grounds with plantings up to 100 years old, The Castle is unlike any other home in the district, perhaps in the State.


The two-storey house was built in 1910, from sandstone cut from the nearby Cedar Creek, in the Northern European 'Arts & Crafts' style with castellated walls, first floor balconies and bay windows like turrets.
This was the country house of the German Wilhelm Kutnewsky, a well known local businessman of the area who made fur and feather products first from a barn on the estate and later from the factory that he built opposite Picton Train Station.

The 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is full of surprises with unusual doors and windows, unexpected balconies, an external as well as internal staircase, elaborate stone work, stained and etched glass, an inglenook stone fireplace, a raised 'stage' area in the feature room known as 'the ballroom' and numerous alterations and additions making it difficult to comprehend how the house had been imagined or built.

The gardens feature an elaborate hedged inner garden with wrought iron gates, an underground well, a two-room guest cottage, swimming pool, barn with two undercover parking spaces and shedding, fruit trees, vegetable garden and original carriage loop.
The property is divided into 4 fenced paddocks with a dam and electric fencing installed.
With many more secrets to discover, this unique property offers lifestyle and history in spades just 1 hour drive from Sydney.
Also do not forget the potential of the beautiful pasture acres that are elevated with distant rural views.
