OVER the past 193 years, just a small handful of people have been the custodian of this historic Bellerive property.

And now it is ready for its next chapter to be written.

Known as Shooters Cottage, this timeless stone home showcases Victorian and Georgian architecture, dating back to 1830.

It has been meticulously preserved, and carefully elevated by its current owners.

Take the tour to discover textured convict sandstone walls and expansive timber floorboards, exposed beams upstairs and charming fireplaces.

As one of the earliest structures in the area, it boasts rich historical significance, once serving as a noble hunting lodge atop the hill.

The Old Post Office, Watch House, the Bellerive Social Institute, St Mark Chapel of Ease, the Congregational Church and Kangaroo Bluff Battery are among its historic neighbours.
