About this property

The idea of warehouse conversions originated after the 'bohemians' style came to prominence in New York in the 1960s. That being said The Old Butter Factory in Cobargo set in the lush green rolling hills of the Sapphire Coast is in a league of its own. The five acre property is only 15 minutes drive to the seaside town of Bermagui and about the same distance to Tilba famous for its cheese and milk and appearances on the ABC's River Cottage. The sheer scale of the timber trusses and the celestial windows and the huge light filled internal spaces they create reflect the lavish era when the Butter Factory was built in 1927 during the Roaring Twenties. THE MAIN BUILDING The clerestory windows found here have been used in architecture for centuries, examples are found in ancient Egyptian temples and later in churches. They are designed to allow natural light to flood a space, reduce the need for artificial lighting, and provide a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. The main structure features a combination renovated rooms that offer modern living standards and less developed rooms that ooze rustic charm that can be left the way they are or become a pet project on which to make your mark. A renovated self contained open plan apartment upstairs showcases the advantages of the architecture with industrial scale windows and exposed timber trusses, hardwood timber flooring and plenty of natural light. Downstairs there are three renovated bedrooms two renovated bathrooms and a funky rustic indoor outdoor kitchen adjacent to a mansionesque undercover all weather entertaining area. The space where the butter churners were once housed is ripe for the imagination and you get the feeling that absolutely anything is possible here. An industrial sized storage space attached to the main building is currently utilised for commercial timber storage. SECONDARY BUILDINGS. An enchanting converted shed is a very funky large living space that would be ideal for family friends and visitors to overnight. Or it could be a restaurant space or cropping shed for organic food grown on the property or anything else that feeds the imagination. A separate building a few foot steps away, as you pass by an amazing fire pit houses a bathroom and a laundry that service the funky shed. There is so much more to talk about that has to be appreciated onsite. If you are ready to let the magic happen please book a private inspection with the listing agent.
