An impressive 143-year-old home tucked away in the Blue Mountains is on the market, offering potential buyers a “unique, once in a lifetime” opportunity.
Described as one of the Blue Mountains’ “most iconic properties”, the six-bedroom home on Railway Pde, Springwood was first built in the 1880s for Sydney businessman John Lawler.
In the mid-1920s the Victorian Tudor style manor was owned by the Sisters of St Joseph, who turned it into the convent.

The house has been occupied by the same owner since the early 1970s, with a renovation on the property completed in the 2000s.
It is currently also registered as an art gallery.
Located on a 12,523 sq m block of land, the property’s defining feature is its brick turret, which offers sweeping views of the estate.
“The cast iron spiral steps give an exciting entry to the upper level,” the property’s listing said.
There are five bathrooms, including one that doubles as a steam room, multiple living areas, a workshop and room for eight cars.
The sandstone home also features a games room and a library.
Ample opportunities await those interested in the property, including the chance to turn it into a luxury Airbnb, or to continue using it as an art gallery.
The home is on the market for $4 million.
Springwood is located 72km west of Sydney and has a population of 8423.
