The Mudgee budget cottage renovations, expertly managed by Studio Gaxa, highlight the art of budget renovation and house-flipping, led by the studio’s project director. Located 3.5 hours from Sydney’s CBD in the burgeoning tourism hotspot of Mudgee, this project found its perfect setting amidst the local winery region, especially appealing during the COVID-19 period for local travel. 

The renovation aimed to capitalise on Mudgee’s growing appeal as a tourist hotspot, transforming the cottage into an attractive investment property ready for the market. The objective was to update the living space to a chic, cozy retreat that would quickly draw offers, leveraging the surge in local holiday seekers. 

The project involved elevating the cottage from a three-bedroom to a four-bedroom home, including the complete redesign of the bathroom and kitchen, and a revamp of the entire house’s ambiance. The strategy included repainting the front of the house, refreshing the landscaping, and overhauling the interior to reflect a chic, modern, and minimalistic aesthetic, all while preserving the home’s original character. 

Through strategic renovations and a keen eye for design, Studio Gaxa transformed the rundown cottage into a desirable property that attracted attention immediately upon listing. This successful project highlights the potential for profit through renovation, with Studio Gaxa proving that thoughtful design and execution can significantly enhance property value and appeal.
