A magnificent country retreat owned by former AFL champion Nathan Thompson has hit the market with a guide price of between $1.55 million and $1.65 million.
Located in Kyneton, Victoria, 86km from Melbourne, the vintage property has five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Built in the 1890s, the original cabin has been beautifully renovated by Thompson and his wife into an elegant luxury residence full of rustic charm.
Thompson, 46, from Kyneton, bought the farmland property from Macedon Rangers nine years ago and now plans to downsize, reports the Herald of the sun.
Set on one acre and surrounded by a lush private garden, the home is a delightful blend of classic Australian gold rush era style and modern flair.
