Acreage/Semi-Rural

A remarkable country escape, 35 minutes from Sydney's Heart
Peacefully nestled amid 6 acres of beautifully landscaped, park-like surrounds, this gorgeous farmhouse resort is blessed with all the spectacle and privacy of a Southern Highlands estate, yet only 35 minutes from the heart of Sydney.

Cathedral ceilings with exposed timber trusses create an immediate impression in the main residence, where modern farmhouse style meets luxurious living. The vision of the home incorporates textures of stone and reclaimed wood, creating a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic. At the heart of the home is a communal farmhouse kitchen, featuring seating at every angle for a cook-and-chat feel. The kitchen is finished with a striking combination of concrete, timber, and a marble island, complemented by a gourmet stainless gas stove.

The property includes a versatile guest wing, with three stylish farmhouse bedrooms, two bathrooms, and magnificently high ceilings, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and friends. The privately placed master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and an indulgent ensuite, while the stunning upper-level office, gym, or children's playroom provides additional flexibility.

Outside, park-like grounds continue to impress, with a salt and magnesium 11m x 5m swimming pool and large spa taking pride of place in the garden. The pool is enclosed by extensive decks and entertaining areas, including an all-weather cabana complete with a full kitchen, making it perfect for year-round entertaining. For equestrian enthusiasts, a full-size Olympic dressage arena is a standout feature, visible from all living areas. If desired, this space can easily be converted into a tennis court or multi-use area.

Tucked away on a no-through road this exceptional family sanctuary offers unrivalled peace and privacy while still being well-connected to everyday conveniences. It is 8 minutes to Berowra Waters for yacht moorings, and from there, a speedboat to Palm Beach in just half an hour. The highly regarded local private school, Northholm Grammar, is 10 minutes away, with a further selection of elite secondary schools, including Barker College, Knox Grammar, Pymble Ladies' College, and Abbotsleigh, all within a 25-minute drive. For golf enthusiasts, the world-class Riverside Oaks Golf Course is also just a short drive away, with the Northern Beaches accessible in less than an hour.
