81 Stanley Street, Home Rule, NSW 2850

Imagine owning a place where the echoes of the gold rush meet the spirit of bohemian creativity. Welcome to HomeRule - a unique and soulful retreat just outside Gulgong, where history and artistry live in harmony.

Tucked beside Cooyal Creek and surrounded by granite outcrops and bushland, this 1.5-acre property is an invitation to reconnect with nature and heritage. First established in the 1920s by gold prospector David King, the home is a classic example of bush construction - solid, practical, and full of character. It was built with hand-hewn Black Pine and local hardwood, railway sleeper walls, and corrugated iron - a nod to the resourceful spirit of early settlers.

In the 1970s, the property became a haven for creatives. A large, Amish-style timber studio was built by hand with the help of local craftspeople including Peter Brooks.

The property soon became a centre of artistic expression, hosting glassmakers, writers, poets, and musicians - many part of the original 'Bondi Push' community who helped define Australian counter-culture.

Today, the property is ready to begin its next chapter. Whether you're an artist seeking space and solitude, a nature-lover wanting a peaceful escape, or someone who values heritage and creativity, HomeRule is waiting.

What's on offer:

1.5 acres of freehold land beside 200 acres of protected bushland

Beautiful creek-side setting with granite rock formations

Original hand-built house with enduring bush-style charm

Large bespoke glass/artist studio built from local materials

Strong artistic legacy and a connection to historic goldfields

Close to Gulgong's thriving creative community and amenities

A place of peace, potential, and profound history - HomeRule is more than a property, it's a lifestyle.
