Nestled among the enchanting, restored ruins of the original "Kenilworth Homestead" which dates back to the 1880s, this architecturally designed masterpiece, now affectionately known as "Moss River House", seamlessly blends heritage charm with contemporary luxury. With breathtaking views of the escarpment and sparkling waters of the Yass River, this expansive family home is situated in a prime riverfront location.

The generous layout features multiple entertaining spaces bathed in natural light, accentuated by expansive glass, timber accents, and striking stone walls. Towering ceilings create an airy atmosphere, while outdoor living areas, adorned with granite flagstones, offer panoramic scenery perfect for relaxation or gatherings.

A gourmet kitchen offers a plethora of features, including impressive stone benches, 900mm freestanding oven/cooktop, built in fridge/freeze, double drawer dishwasher, sparkling water tap, and soft close cupboards and drawers. This culinary centrepiece opens to the vast living and dining room which then seamlessly flows out onto the outdoor entertaining space.

The main bedroom suite with a designer ensuite, freestanding bath, double shower and large walk-in robe sits proud in its own wing. Segregated bedrooms sit within the original homestead ruins providing a perfect blend of heritage and modern luxury.

Adding to the property's rich history, the old Kittys Creek Bridge, circa 1850s, still stands over the Kittys Creek with its impressive stone abutments. The crystal clear Kittys Creek forms the Western boundary of the property, providing a further natural haven for native wildlife including owls, wombats, kangaroos, and flocks of birds such as galahs, cockatoos and rosellas. Nature lovers will also appreciate direct access to the Yass River, ideal for peaceful strolls and searching for an allusive and charming platypus.

The property boasts a licensed solar powered bore supplying a 22,000* litre tank, which is plumbed to a low-maintenance irrigation system for the professionally landscaped gardens. An underground water tank with a capacity of 120,000* litres further supports this tranquil oasis.

Set on 9.82 hectares* of improved pasture with established trees and four fully fenced and gated paddocks, "Moss River House" is conveniently positioned within an easy commute to Yass and Canberra, just 10 minutes* from Murrumbateman and Yass, 3km* from the Barton Highway, and only 45 minutes* from the Canberra CBD.
