Capers offers a rare opportunity combining a comfortable country lifestyle and a commercial business opportunity.

MODERN-DAY LIVING & AUTHENTIC CHARM. THE MAIN HOUSE
The main home was built in 1999 by interior designers, John & Anne Kelly, who moved from Sydney to live in Wollombi.
The Kelly’s purchased and relocated the convict-hewn sandstone, which still bears the original markings when first quarried from Saunders Quarry, Pyrmont around 1880. The sandstone is the highest grade and highly prized for its clarity, density and colour.
The sandstones first life was the kitchen of the old Sydney Hospital (Macquarie Street) in 1881 before it was demolished in 1984 to make way for Parliament House extensions.
The home features authentic recycled building materials sourced statewide such as floors, doors, furniture and a staircase.
Today the home offers a separate owners living level, five luxury suites (all with ensuites) and doors opening onto the wide verandah.
There is also a chef’s kitchen, cellar, double sided fireplace and combined lounge and dinning room.
