Presenting ‘Nostalgia’, the most amazing rural escape to come to market in years. Steeped in history that the casual passer-by might be unaware, of its location is only a stones throw from the Coolalinga Shopping Centre. As you take the unassuming turn off Wells Creek Road, you’re greeted with a bitumen driveway that takes you through a beautiful clearing of green grass. The driveway leads you through stunning rainforest that provides privacy from the rest of the world, and as you drive through the forest, you enter the amazing sanctuary that is, ‘Nostalgia’.

Set on 7.3 acres in the most prominent position in Virginia, you have the convenience of being only a few hundred metres to shopping precinct and Stuart Highway, yet with the seclusion of being in your own private retreat! ‘Nostalgia’ is comprised of 2 gorgeous semi-elevated tropical houses, both built in the early 1900’s as nurses’ quarters on the old Darwin Hospital precinct at Myilly Point. Then in their later life they were transported to Virginia, where the second house served as a museum, while the main house was partially renovated by Troppo Architects to be the Nostalgia restaurant, a popular tourist stop over. Further major renovations to the main residence were conducted in 2012, all designed to sustain the tropical architecture and character of these unique homes.
