The classic home with its five bedrooms, two bathrooms and 10 parking spaces is a well-known fixture for many Lithgow residents.

The entire ground floor is made up of grand entertainment size living areas consistent with the era and an attic ballroom of approximately seven metres by 16 metres.

Owner Pam Owen has lived in Bracey Mansion since 2008. She told the Lithgow Mercury how she came to live in the iconic building.

"I was living on a farm at Tarana with my husband, an alpaca stud when he died quite suddenly with prostate cancer. I knew it would be better for me if I didn't stay on the farm," Ms Owen said.

"I was looking around at where to go and what to do and I wasn't particularly looking for something like the Bracey house, or the Bracey Mansion as it's known, it kind of found me.

"A friend of mine gave me a property magazine to look at one day and it instantly opened at that page and I don't know whether you've ever had the feeling that you know something instantly but I knew straight away that I had to buy it."

Pam said living in the home for the last 12 years has been a time of healing for her, thanks to the home's 'extraordinary energy'.

"The Bracey Mansion was the place for me to heal, and it has got the most glorious energy about it and so I was able to re-energise and revitalise and rebuild myself to the point where I am now where I can pass that onto somebody else to have that pleasure," Ms Owen said.

"It has got quite an extraordinary energy about it, anybody who goes there feels it and feels uplifted by it."

Pam said she's 'felt like a queen' living at the home on her own but said the home is perfectly suited for a family too.

"It's been a glorious place to live and made me feel like a queen, which I needed," she said.

"I was there on my own which was an unusual situation but it would be perfect for a family. It's perfect for - there are many possible uses of it.

"The rooms are all so glorious, they're all so different. They all have their own personality. They're all quite regal, it's amazing."

Pam has plans to leave Lithgow once the house sells but praised the region for reminding her of the importance of a strong sense of community.

"I have a new grandson in Queensland and we all want to be together so I'm headed up there to enjoy more time with family which is going to be wonderful," she said.

"What I do want to say is how delightful Lithgow is to live in. Apart from the house and the property being glorious, it's close to Sydney, it's easy to get to. the people in Lithgow are extraordinarily welcoming and helpful if ever anyone is in need, they're always there.

"It's a real community, it's something I grew up with and missed for a long time and coming to Lithgow it's brought it back to me how important it is and how valuable such a strong community like Lithgow is.

"I don't think you can really appreciate it until you live here."

The mansion is set to be auctioned on Wednesday, July 1 at 11am at the Domain Auction House, Double Bay if not sold prior.
