A picturesque Southern Highlands estate, this once-in-a-lifetime 193-acre property offers an enviable lifestyle opportunity as a full-time residence or exceptional weekend getaway and is the ideal combination of grand family living and superior entertaining, abundant in space, comfort and tranquility.
Entry to this expansive estate is through electric gates flanked in bespoke stonework, and as you make your way up the London Plane tree-lined driveway, past one of 13 dams, your gaze will be drawn across the gently rolling countryside, comprising 12 paddocks encased in post and rail fencing, rich in basalt soil, 100% arable with some improved pastures, and punctuated with hundreds of established trees.
At the heart of it all, this six-bedroom/five-bathroom home is a showcase of old-world charm, where a generous floorplan echoes the vast space that envelops it. Spanning an impressive 781sqm, high ceilings are featured throughout, each palatial room framed in cedar doors and windows, providing the ultimate versatility for the largest of families and countless guests.
A large, well-appointed timber kitchen complete with a walk-in pantry will be the epicentre of family mealtimes and also a practical hub for when generous catering is necessitated. Casual meals in the adjacent family living area, special occasion dinner parties or celebrations in the wisteria trimmed courtyard will all be effortlessly executed here. With ducted gas heating throughout and a selection of magnificent open fireplaces on offer, your comfort is assured on even the coolest of nights.
Located above the six-car garage and adjoining the main residence, you'll find a two-bedroom apartment, ideal for additional guest accommodation or even as stylish housing for an au pair. The property also offers a four-bedroom manager's home, the epitome of country elegance and nicely separated from the main house.
Infrastructure is comprehensive here, with an enormous machinery shed equipped with everything you'll need to effectively tend to this sprawling property, including a generator. Water will also be in abundant supply, with several tanks, a bore, a natural spring and the many dams.
You'll be in awe of the pristine presentation of the grounds surrounding the home, where blossoming florals, majestic trees, manicured hedging, park-like lawns and intricate stonework ensure that absolute beauty graces your vision no matter which direction you look.
Don't miss the opportunity to make this rural retreat your own, where you can relish in the serenity of country living whilst still being within 10 minutes of Bowral, Mittagong and the Hume Motorway. At Springfields, you can have the best of both worlds, and make memories that will last a lifetime - and beyond.
