They say to dream of living in mansions and palaces predicts increased opportunity in life. Also that you should look at areas of your life that have not been developed or explored – there is a sense of need for a ‘project’.
If that is the case for you, we present 1380 Cooks Hill Rd, Yass.
Offered for auction on 7 December, this is a stunning country mansion. Rarely does a magnificent homestead such as this one come on to the market.

Wide hallways, a wide stairway and a wide life awaits.
Generally very tightly held or passed down within families, properties like this are notoriously difficult to get your hands on.
This is a totally grand and imposing three-storey mansion, conveniently situated on a sealed road, on approximately 38.83 Hectares (95.95 acres) of land. The property is just 12 minutes drive from Yass township, 50 minutes from Canberra and three hours from Sydney.

An impressive nine bedrooms in this Yass Valley mansion, with French doors throughout the house.
A magnificent 1890s, double-brick homestead with a tower, formal lounge and stunning dining hall, polished floorboards, magnificent central staircase and wide verandahs. The home is placed on excellent grazing country, with good shade timber.
The impressive house contains no less than nine oversized bedrooms, fourteen fireplaces, two adjoining kitchens and three bathrooms plus a separate butler’s pantry and storeroom.
Other features of this rambling, romantic edifice include a stunning grand internal staircase, huge wrap-around verandah on the second story and, to top it all off, giving the structure wonderful character, a spectacular ‘widow’s walk’ viewing platform on the upper story.

Lawns, mature trees, a full-sized tennis court.
The mansion’s entertaining rooms are exceptionally large, including a huge formal dining room, plenty of space for that premiere event, or your closest friends.
Throughout are soaring timber ceilings, and all-original timber floors. Period sash windows and French double doors grace most rooms and you will be wandering around your country seat via grand hallways.
There is a full-size tennis court and a number of stately trees among wonderful established gardens and lawns that surround the house.

Scale and grandeur meet you as you enter.
Water is via an almost lake-sized dam and there’s approximately 144,000 litres rainwater storage underground.
An original barn and other outbuildings need some work, but have plenty of character and potential for stables or perhaps a venue/accommodation situation.

No less than fourteen fireplaces.
The house needs some love, but there is plenty to fall in love with. With some renovation, there is unlimited scope for expansion and business opportunities such as accommodation, AirBnB experiences, country weddings, wellness centre, or simply your own healing retreat.

Alex Wyche Did someone was Yass 🤢🤮 sorry but i only fw Yoauk 😍😫💦
Nina only real ones know
looks spooky
Charlie Catman 14 fireplaces and a tower. I think this meets all our needs, yes? 🤣🤣🤣
Michele Grimston I only have 1 need. A double garage. It could be offset by that lovely shade of pink in one of the rooms I suppose.
I think these places are called "money pits" for obvious reasons. Gorgeous but probably only useful if you need servants quarters and can afford to have bohemian artists from around the world come visit on a regular basis!.....OR PLEASE...NOT AN AIR BnB.
