SO MUCH POTENTIAL!

Have you ever wished for a semi-rural setting but want the convenience of being a short trip to town? Welcome to 80 Mort Street, Katoomba!

80 Mort Street sits on a wonderful parcel of land 14.65 acres in size yet is only 5 minutes drive to Katoomba’s town centre. The block consists of an incredibly spacious 1br home, several sheds and a brilliant studio which was home for 36 years to the internationally renowned printing press – ‘The Wayzgoose Press’.

THE HOME

For most parts, the current home is very comfortable and enjoys a leafy outlook from most windows. Features include:

-    Brick/render external walls
-    Open plan living/dining area with gas fireplace
-    Incredible family area/library with soaring cathedral ceilings and built-in bookshelves
-    Renovated kitchen
-    Renovated bathroom
-    Office/study
-    Bedroom with built-in robes and walk-in (previously used as a photography dark room)

THE STUDIO

The studio was run as an incredibly successful printing press but would also suit car collectors, business use (stca), storage or a machinery shed. Features include:

-    Spacious 100sqms footprint (approx)
-    Slow combustion fire
-    Kitchenette
-    Small mezzanine
-    Painted concrete flooring
-    Excellent natural light
-    Separate electricity metre and 3 phase power

THE LAND

The land consists of a landscaped area around the home, a ‘paddock’ with a small watercourse running through and predominantly native flora everywhere else.

There is plenty of room for a second dwelling (stca).

You’ll share the land with a family of Kangaroos, Wallaroos and a plethora of birdlife (our favourite being the Corellas).

If you have a passion for self-sufficiency, then this is for you! There are already several fruit trees, sheds and a huge rain water tank. The previous harvests of raspberries were epic!

This is a rare opportunity offering limitless options. It would make an incredible home, weekend retreat, business opportunity or co-housing opportunity. What would you do?

We were very happy with the service we received from Liberty Real Estate.  Nikki was very professional. friendly and efficient in finding a tenant for our rental property.  We would not hesitate to recommend Liberty as a property manager. Thank Liberty Property Services for making the process so easy.

Alex Thomson and his team at Liberty Property did a superb job helping us with a rental property in Leura. Alex recommended outstanding tradespeople who had the property transformed with great efficiency. Within a week Alex found wonderful tenants who have already asked for a lease extension. Tanya at Liberty guided me through all the paperwork (rates, water and electricity) so all the bills are handled by Liberty. I highly recommend the team at Liberty Property Services.

As a renter I've had an absolute pleasure with the team at Liberty Property Services.  After needing to find a place to rent during lockdown in 2021, they were fantastic.  The other property managers I engaged with at the time were really sub-par doing the bare minimum.  The rental experience itself was also fantastic - if I'm ever looking for another rental in the Blue Mountains in the distant future I'll be back!  And if I have a property needing management I'll be going straight to Liberty.

Marc Fitzpatrick of Liberty Property Services could not have been more professional in his real estate advice and highly successful campaign to find an appropriate buyer for our Katoomba property.  I would highly recommend his and his company's services to anyone interested in an appraisal/ sale of their property.  Marc also has a great reputation for finding appropriate properties for potential buyers.  It was a pleasure to do business with Marc and his company.

I can't say enough about how well Leanne has managed my property for at least 5 years. She is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Most important to me, as a landlord who doesn't live in the local area, her communication has been great - always answering my questions and providing information promptly and respectfully; never hassling but always on top of things. When it came time for me to sell last month, she introduced me to Marc. I can say no less of Marc. I couldn't meet him in person, but I found him to be absolutely professional and approachable, with sound advice and equally great communication. I would not hesitate in recommending Liberty to anyone. 28 Henderson Road  SOLD - June 2021

I have used Liberty Property Services as a tenant, landlord and more recently with the sale of our property.  Leanne was an excellent Property Manager and I would not hesitate to recommend her.  She was always approachable, friendly and highly professional.  She took excellent care of my tenant and also my needs as a landlord.  Anything that came up was dealt with promptly and efficiently.  Nothing was too much trouble.  When it came time to sell, Marc took the time to understand our expectations, create a beautiful marketing campaign and then managed to find us the perfect buyer.  It's always easier to hand over your home when you know it's going to the right person!  Marc and Leanne managed everything for me and I felt complete trust in their care.  I cannot thank them enough for making the experience so easy!
