111 Ian Holt Drive, Lidsdale NSW 2790

Heritage sandstone inn | dual-living self-contained wing | Coxs River frontage | 120-vine Merlot vineyard. This property’s competitive strength lies in its irreplaceable heritage fabric and dual-income configuration. The main 1860s stone residence with polished Kauri floors and high ceilings offers a rare architectural pedigree in the rural-residential market, while the separate original inn wing,with its own Edwardian kitchen and bathroom,enables immediate guest rental or multigenerational occupancy without compromising privacy. The established Merlot vineyard, fertile riverfront soils, and substantial workshop broaden appeal to buyers seeking a productive smallholding or weekend retreat. It best serves a buyer who values character and flexibility over modern finishes, and who can capitalise on the short-stay rental potential to offset holding costs. The key risk is bushfire overlay and heritage listing, which constrain extensions and increase insurance premiums,costs that must be factored into the buyer’s budget. The 2021 sale at $910,000 and the 2025 sale at $615,000 signal a volatile local market; the current $1.25 million ask requires careful justification against recent comparables. Opportunity lies in the zoning flexibility: residential use with agricultural elements allows low-intensity farming or event-space conversion. Hold this property as a dual-revenue retreat, using the inn wing for rental income to subsidise the main house as a long-term residence or weekend escape.
