3 Bedroom House in Leura
Highland Cottage – Historic 1920s Gem near Leura Mall
Welcome to Highland Cottage, a beautifully restored 1920s home just 700 metres from Leura Mall, tucked away on a quiet leafy street.
Once built by miners when Leura was still surrounded by bushland, this charming cottage now blends heritage character with modern comfort. Picture yourself sipping a glass of wine by the fireplace or enjoying a cup of tea in the nostalgic sunroom — it’s easy to imagine the stories of those who once called this place home.
Come and experience a unique mountain getaway in one of the Blue Mountains’ most vibrant and historic towns.
The Space
Highland Cottage is ideal for families and friends looking to enjoy the authentic Blue Mountains lifestyle with all the comforts of modern living.
We’re just a short 700-metre stroll to Leura Mall and the train station, yet surrounded by peaceful greenery — with maple trees, lemon trees, and even strawberries growing around the property.
Step through the bright and spacious sunroom, perfect for your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while watching the sunrise or sunset.
Bedrooms & Layout
All three bedrooms are elegantly styled and furnished with luxurious linen, down duvets, French flax pillowcases, and electric blankets for year-round comfort.
Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen bed – master bedroom with views of the sunroom and front garden
Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen bed – overlooks the rear garden
Bedroom 3: 1 x Single bed – ideal for a child or solo guest
The cottage features two working fireplaces — one in the lounge and one in the kitchen.
Living & Dining
Relax in the cosy lounge, complete with a digital TV, large sofa, and the warmth of the original fireplace — perfect for gathering with loved ones.
The spacious kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, featuring another fireplace with a classic cooktop where you can still boil water. The dining table seats up to six guests, creating a warm and communal atmosphere for shared meals after a day exploring the mountains.
Throughout the home, you’ll find original artworks by Melbourne-based artist Cate Maddie, known for her modern take on natural still-life scenes.
