Mill House

Cottage Features
Mill House is a captivating cottage with two inviting bedrooms, each furnished with a luxurious king-size bed and a private door leading to the verandah. The spacious bathroom is a sanctuary with a deep soaking bath, a separate shower, and a handcrafted Coachwood vanity made from timber sourced on the property. The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living space with a cozy fireplace. The stunning kitchen, also crafted from locally harvested Coachwood, is a chef's dream. An expansive timber deck extends the living space outdoors, complete with a plush daybed for ultimate relaxation.

Building History
This captivating cottage is one of only six original timber worker houses lovingly restored in the historic Old Saw Mill Town of Brooman. Dating back to the 1920s, the Mill House first served as the town's dance hall, echoing with music and laughter. It later became cozy lodgings for bachelors working in the local mill. Today, it stands as a testament to the town's ingenuity and resilience, with many of its features, like the deck and vanity, built with local and recycled materials.

Off-Grid Living
The property is completely off-grid and powered by a central solar system with underground 240V power. Water is collected and stored in galvanized iron tanks, and an instantaneous gas water heater provides hot water.

Brooman Features
The old town site is set opposite a large bend in the Clyde River. The deep water extends for nearly a kilometre upstream, making it a great place for canoeing, fishing for Bass, Platypus watching, or simply listening to the dozens of unique and beautiful endemic bird species of this area. There is a resident mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos that typically comes out at dusk. You may also spot Red-Necked Wallabies, Bandicoots, microbats, blue-tongued lizards, and Possums. The buildings date back to the late 1800s to early 1900s, once supporting a thriving community of up to 200 people. Brooman had a post office, school, dance hall, mechanics building, galley, general store, phone exchange, and cottages like this one.

Imagine a mesmerizing camping destination nestled along the banks of the serene Clyde river. Towering trees provide a natural canopy overhead, dappling sunlight onto the lush forest floor. The tranquil sound of water gently flowing creates a soothing ambiance, perfect for relaxation. Picture yourself setting up camp near the riverbank, with the refreshing breeze carrying the scent of wildflowers. As the day fades into night, marvel at the starlit sky mirrored on the shimmering surface of the river. It's a breathtaking experience that seamlessly blends nature's beauty with the joy of outdoor living. Brooman rests approximately half way between Ulladulla and Batemans Bay on the fresh water section of the Clyde River. The property stretches south on both sides of the river from the Old Sawmill Town located at its northern end. Brooman is a working farm and encompasses lots of beautiful spaces, restored old buildings, two small mountains, fertile river flats, native forests, grasslands, deep water holes, tree covered rapid sections of river and sweeping views. Brooman is less than 30 minutes drive to some of the most beautiful beaches on the south coast. Shallow Crossing is 10 minutes to the south. North is Pigeon House car park, Yadboro and the base of The Castle. To the West there are hundreds of kilometres of Forestry and National Park roads through some of the most spectacular forested mountain country east of the Coastal Range. The Clyde River Berry Farm is just minutes down the road. Local fish and chips, great coffee and handmade bread is 25mins drive at Burrill Lake. Some of the best restaurants and bars on the coast are less than 40 minutes drive at Milton and Mollymook. If you are looking to relax and recharge in nature or explore amazing country, then Brooman is it.
