A stunning country retreat owned by former AFL champion Nathan Thompson has hit the market with a price guide of $1.55 million – $1.65 million.

The original cottage, built in the 1890s, has been beautifully renovated by Thompson and his wife into a chic luxury home full of rustic charm.

Set on an acre and surrounded by a lush private garden, the house is a delightful blend of classic Gold Rush era Australiana and modern style.
