A gorgeous country retreat owned by former AFL champ Nathan Thompson has hit the market with a price guide of $1.55 million – $1.65million.
Located in Kyneton, Victoria, 86km from Melbourne, the vintage spread boasts five-bedrooms and three-bathrooms.
Built in the 1890s, the original cottage has been beautifully renovated by Thompson and his wife into a chic luxury pad full of rustic charm.

Set on one acre and surrounded by a lush private garden the home is a delightful mix of classic Gold Rush era Australiana and modern style.
