The Carriers Arms - A Landmark Blue Mountains Estate

At the gateway to the Blue Mountains, The Carriers Arms captures the grace and substance of a bygone era. Once a key stop for travelers moving through the western ranges, the circa-1860s property now brings together a grand sandstone homestead and a character-filled inn, surrounded by open lawns, vineyard rows and soil once home to a flourishing flower market - a testament to its fertile ground.

The Homestead

The sandstone residence offers four bedrooms beneath 11-foot ceilings*, with polished Kauri Pine floors and a calm, light-filled layout. Dining and living areas flow naturally to a kitchen finished with Caesarstone benchtops and gas cooking. Hydronic heating carries quiet warmth throughout, complementing the home's solid sense of comfort and permanence.

The Inn

Originally known as The Carriers Arms, the inn once welcomed guests crossing the mountains and heading west. Its thick stone walls convey the strength and character of their time, now enclosing an Edwardian-style kitchen and bathroom, a sitting room and a single bedroom opening toward the vineyard and lawns. Private, self-contained and rich in character, the inn lends itself perfectly to guest accommodation, a creative retreat or boutique short-stay letting - offering genuine potential for additional income within the estate.

The Grounds

The landscape reflects the property's long connection to cultivation. Rows of 120 Merlot vines* line the open paddocks, with irrigation in place, alongside timber-slab stables, a 17.5m* by 7.6m* workshop and the original brick well. Town water, productive soil and frontage to the Coxs River complete a holding that blends history and beauty, just ten minutes west of Lithgow* and two hours from Sydney*.
