Mittagong

<html><body>
The retired politician turned author Peter Garrett and his wife, Doris have lowered the asking price on their 5.8 hectare Mittagong retreat, Rowe. 
The historic Queen Anne Federation cottage now has $2.95 million expectations rather than its initial $3.3 million plus through Drew Lindsay Real Estate agent John Renouf. 
Rowe Cottage was among the Mittagong Cottage Homes, established from 1885 by the State Children's Relief Board. 
The cottage has undergone extensive renovation since bought for $531,000 two decades ago. 
Peter and Doris are planning to spend more time up in Sydney at their newly acquired $2.7 million Paddington terrace, and possibly buy something smaller in the highlands.

Retired politican Peter Garrett lowers Rowe Cottage, Mittagong asking price

<html><body>
Autumn Park, the luxury Mittagong retreat, has sold following its transformation by Sydney northern beaches architect Mike Hale.
It had a price tag of $5 million, which if achieved, would be the highest price paid in the small Southern Highlands grazing district in seven years.
Hale's renovation and extension came in 2015 costing well over $800,000.
The re-imagined rustic brick barn with old wharf timbers is now a cutting edge home with a contemporary butterfly roofed pavilion extension.

Upstairs in the barn structure are all four bedrooms.
Two sit at one end of the home, both with Juliet balconies overlooking the countryside, while the other two have their own private decks.
The master suite's deck features its own spa plunge pool.
In the modern front section of the home there's a games room with bar, a living room with feature wood fireplace and a media area with inbuilt projector and drop down screen.

A tennis court, dressage arena and four paddocks sit in the 40 hectare grounds.

The Old Bank, the historic Mittagong property in the Southern Highlands, has been listed for sale after its decade long restoration.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-mittagong-130730858" target="_blank">property at 83 Main Street</a> has been acting as The Old Bank Hotel, but is now being offered as the potential to become a grand family residence.
Some 80 years after the settlement of Mittagong in the 1820s, the Southern Highlands town became home to many industries.
Following the 1867 completion of the railway line from Sydney, Mittagong became a gateway to the southern area and beyond, leading to the development of a tourist trade with inns, hotels, guest houses and shops becoming prevalent. 
The Commercial Banking Company occupied Waratah Cottage in the 1880s before relocating to Victoria House, some 500 metres away, before moving to the current property that was to be known as The Old Bank.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/3/28/Mitt2.jpg" alt="">
It was built in the late 1880s at a construction cost of around £2,840 on land purchased from John Hilder for £373. It opened its doors in 1891.
A complete restoration came following its $990,000 trade in 2009 when The Old Bank was bought as a hotel. CHECK.
Local craftsmen transformed the slate roofed and stone walled building which was falling into disrepair.
The main residence comprises six heritage-style bedrooms, which each have names stemming from xxxx. All complete with ensuite, the bedrooms are dubbed Clocktower, Gibraltar, Albert, Victoria and Alexandra.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/3/28/Mitt3.jpg" alt="">
They sit on the second level. The ground floor comprises an entry hall with reception and lounge, a private dining room, a library and a wine cellar.
The wine cellar was previously the original bank vault, which is to this day secured with a 1,000 kilogram door cast in London in 1852.
On the 1,095 sqm Main Street parcel are two freestanding buildings, the sandstock cottage and original coach house, both of which have been restored and now home self-contained accomodation. 
The Old Bank is being offered by Andrew de Montemas at W.M.Carpenter &amp; Associates Bowral.
He has a guide of $4 million.
