Overview

'Brooklyn' c 1887

Forty acres * of prime subdivisible land in Old Bowral with significant history, substantial beauty, and glorious future. Offered to the market for the first time since the 1950's after more than three generations of single-family ownership, 'Brooklyn' was the Mayor of Bowral's residence from 1887 until the early 1890s. The property at that time included the substantial main residence, a 2-room gardener's cottage and Coach house -purportedly used as a stopover for coaches owned by Grace Brothers. In the 1950's the property was acquired and underwent a flamboyant renovation and extension -enlarging the main residence as well as the gardener's cottage- both intact today. Having been used as a horse stud and home for the past 70 plus years, the scope for continuing in this tradition is overt, however the opportunities for development into 10 acre lots (STCA) are enticing. With stunning tracts of Mount Gibraltar on the high boundary of the holding, the wildlife and natural beauty are very special components of this landscape. House gardens are dreamy, and views and privacy are paramount. The sale of 'Brooklyn' represents a truly unique once in a lifetime opportunity.
