Overview

Willowmere - A Landmark Estate on the Murrumbidgee

Hidden beyond a private tree-lined drive and surrounded by established Cabernet vines, Willowmere spans 80.2 hectares of pristine riverfront land, with sweeping views across the Murrumbidgee River to the Brindabella Ranges, just 20 minutes from Canberra's CBD. At its heart is an extraordinary 1,750m² estate, comprising a substantial seven-bedroom main residence and separate two-bedroom guest cottage. Built by renowned Master Builder George Opaczynski with an architectural team led by Derek Green, Willowmere was awarded MBA House of the Year and has long been recognised as one of the Canberra region's most substantial private residences. The north-facing home is grand in scale yet refined in execution. Soaring ceilings, marble columns, sculpted detailing and expansive terraces are complemented by six fireplaces, a library, conservatory dining room seating 20+, formal lounge, executive office, games room, gym, sauna, steam room, health spa and a 4,000-bottle wine cellar. Outside, the estate continues on an exceptional scale. A Tuscan-style swimming pool, international-standard tennis court, sports oval, established gardens, orchards and productive agricultural land are joined by extensive equestrian facilities and more than 1km of private Murrumbidgee River frontage. A 500m² fully equipped event marquee, sealed private runway and 256m² hangar with offices further distinguish the property. Already operating as a boutique accommodation and events destination, Willowmere offers established and potential income streams across short-stay accommodation, weddings and functions, hangar leasing, horse agistment, livestock and future truffle production, subject to relevant approvals. Willowmere is an exceptionally rare combination of scale, privacy, productive land, river frontage and proximity to Canberra, equally suited to a landmark private estate, commercial lifestyle venture, or both.
