Epitomising Southern Highland's living, this expansive 106-acre rural estate set amongst the rolling green hills of Glenquarry will capture your heart. The rambling four-bedroom weatherboard farmhouse provides both a gracious and relaxed family residence, situated conveniently less than 15 minutes to Bowral and prestigious local schools and 80 mins to Sydney Airport.
Inviting living spaces, elegant fixtures, and thoughtful details throughout the main house make for an ideal family retreat. In addition, the two charming guest cottages are perfect for visiting friends, farm manager, or as a potential income stream. The three acres of established gardens, including tennis court and heated swimming pool and the extensive infrastructure, verdant paddocks, permanently running creek and unspoiled views complete the dream.
The home's architectural features of wide oak floorboards, french doors opening to verandas and the sheltered courtyard, wood burning fireplaces, high ceilings and lining board walls all enhance its romantic appeal.
