8 Belubula Street
Carcoar Via, NSW 2791

Located in the heart of Carcoar, one of Australia's most beautifully preserved 19th-century villages, this unique property dates back to the 1840s–1850s and offers a rare blend of rich heritage and modern versatility.

The main residence was originally constructed as three adjoining terraces, which historically served as both shopfronts and private homes. Today, it stands as a spacious, character-filled home that is ready for immediate enjoyment. The heritage façade conceals a story of craftsmanship and endurance, with the current owners having lovingly maintained the property for over 24 years.

The home features grand formal lounge and dining rooms with soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and working fireplaces that reflect its 19th-century charm. Intriguing floor hatches lead down to original underground cellars, ideal for storage or a wine collection. An intimate sitting room with a fireplace and feature staircase offers a quiet retreat. At the rear, a bright open family room captures leafy yard views across to the river and mountains, perfect for cozy winter evenings by the wood fire or relaxing with the convenience of reverse-cycle air conditioning.

The practical kitchen is centrally located and includes electric cooking, a dishwasher, and ample storage space. It is ready for an update or conversion to a commercial kitchen if desired. A downstairs bathroom with shower-over-bath and toilet provides everyday convenience.

Upstairs, two staircases lead to a clever layout with open-plan living that connects bedrooms while creating privacy and flow. The master suite boasts a fireplace, split-system air conditioning, ensuite access, and a large dressing room that could also serve as a study or fourth bedroom. Three sets of French doors open to a generous private balcony overlooking the historic streetscape, offering a perfect place to soak in village life.

Beneath the home, three stone cellars and a versatile rumpus space complete the picture. A relocated garage from Cowra, originally the guards barracks from the POW camp, adds further storage and practicality, blending seamlessly into the property’s layout.

A fully self-contained second residence on the property has operated successfully as an Airbnb, providing an avenue for instant holding income. This dwelling features light-filled open-plan living with neutral tones, fireplaces, and reverse-cycle air conditioning. The combined kitchen and dining area offers a practical layout, complemented by a stylish renovated bathroom that separates living and sleeping zones. The large bedroom includes a walk-in robe and is positioned quietly at the rear for privacy.

The property is centrally located within Carcoar’s vibrant main street, surrounded by boutique retail, cafés, and heritage landmarks. It holds heritage significance as a proud part of the original Carcoar streetscape and is locally recognized for its historic importance. Zoned B2 Local Centre, the property allows both residential and commercial use, offering the potential to restore the original shopfronts or create a dream business.

Constructed solidly from original sandstone and brickwork, the structure showcases quality rarely seen today. This is an opportunity to move straight in, earn income immediately, or unlock further potential through adaptive reuse or sensitive restoration.

Carcoar, known as the “time capsule town,” was gazetted in 1840 and remains the third-oldest village in New South Wales.
