A long winding tree-lined driveway off Maffra Road in Cooma leads you a magnificent period residence of grand proportions and one of the region’s most well-known homes.
At first glance of the stately home and various outbuildings of “Springwell”, visitors immediately get a sense of history and grandeur of times gone by.
One of the highlights of the facade is a huge sweeping federation verandah, reminiscent of Victorian style and with views across the famed hills of Cooma.
Most of the rooms connect to the verandah, offering various entry points into the distinguished residence.
At the core of the home is a hallway resembling the length and width of a cricket pitch, leading guests through an exciting adventure to all areas of the home.
There are multiple entertaining rooms, each of which features an open fire place – which is quintessential for the chilling Cooma winter.
The main residence has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms and is complemented by a two-bedroom renovated cottage that is ideal for guests. A lavishly proportioned main suite overlooks manicured gardens – the perfect view to wake up to.
The home is surrounded by 140 hectares of beauty with a stunning contrast between grazing angus cattle and mature parkland gardens.
Built between 1896 and 1907, the residence has changed hands only once in more than 100 years. The current owners spent more than three years restoring the home to its original splendour.
