1 Bedroom Cottage in Brooman
The Lemon Tree Cottage
Cottage Features
The Lemon Tree Cottage is one of six original timber worker houses meticulously restored in the Old Saw Mill Town at Brooman. The bedroom features a king-sized bed, ceiling fan, and large windows. The cottage has an open-plan kitchen and a cozy lounge space. The kitchen side of the original double flue chimney has a gas cooktop and exhaust, while the other side has a firebox installed. The front porch has a daybed, perfect for reading or stargazing at night. The bathroom, located off the back porch, features a large tiled shower, a bath, toilet, and a Coachwood vanity.
Building History
This building is crafted entirely from local timber, including original floorboards, weatherboards, and Coachwood architraves. The living room paneling and window bench are made from local Casuarina. All materials used in the restoration are either original, recycled, or locally sourced native timber, preserving the authentic charm and history of the cottage.
Off-Grid Living
The property is completely off-grid and powered by a central solar system with underground 240V power. Water comes from the pristine rain that falls from the sky, collected and stored in galvanized iron tanks. Hot water is heated by an instantaneous gas water heater located on the outside of the building.
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.
