Ray White Berry is proud to present this outstanding farm, welcome to Forest Lodge.
An idyllic slice of rural heaven set at the foothills of the Cambewarra Mtn range and sprawling out over 49.25 ha (121.7 acres) of fertile farmland, Forest Lodge represents a rare opportunity to secure a working farm in a highly desirable location. This is a third-generation family farm that is being offered to the market for the first time in over 100 years!
The pin oak lined driveway rolls up to both homesteads, which sit in elevated positions offering commanding rural views over the farm, local district and out towards Coolangatta Mountain.
Lovingly crafted and honed over three generations, the original homestead takes you for a walk down history lane. It is a real treat to offer an almost original period cottage which has stood proud for over 100 years and housed three generations that have filled the home with laughter and joy.
Historical character and period features adorn every inch of this gorgeous home, with a homestyle kitchen centred around the original brick cooking hearth, pressed metal ceilings in the living rooms and timber lined walls and ultra-high ceilings throughout most of the cottage you can feel the history of a bygone era in every room. Complete with three bedrooms, a loft, a cozy lounge with wood fire, a study and a separate dining off the kitchen, there is ample space to enjoy.
This home boasts massive views from the northeast facing porch, the breadth of the scenery takes in the green pastures that rise to the foothills of Cambewarra Mtn all the way out to Coolangatta Mtn in the distance and further east to the sparkling waters of Shoalhaven River.
The second and more modern of the two homesteads was designed and built in keeping with the style of the property, offering a similar footprint and size to the original farmhouse. Built approx 25 years ago with a gorgeous country appeal inside and out, boasting natural timber elements, and offering a spacious open plan kitchen dining and living that opens out to the North facing verandah. Consisting of a loft with walk in robe, two bedrooms on the ground floor, a separate laundry, and a lovely bathroom with clawfoot bath and timber vanity. Again, every window captures a rural aspect, if you're not looking out over the glistening dam you will be watching the cattle in the paddocks or the seeing the limbs of the Moreton Bay fig stretch towards the sky.
This property encompasses a long list of attributes, offering two separate houses, 100 acres of fully fenced fertile farming land, 3 bay open machinery/hay shed, a water license to a spring, ample water sources and a fantastic location.
Located within a 5-minute drive to Berry, Bomaderry and Nowra, you are positioned at the fringe of residential living, making this property a convenient rural choice.
