A magnificent, manageable lifestyle farm in the coveted Southern Highlands replete, has hit the market through Ray White Rural’s Gene Fairbanks and Liz Tregear.
Sitting just off the Hume highway at Canyonleigh, the 100 acre arable cattle and olive property neighbours Sutton Forest and is set well down a private driveway with unsurpassed views.
Purchased by the current vendors for $1.6 million in 2007, the sale will occur via private treaty with price on application.
”I think the buyers will be either novice farmers. It's set up really well with functional cattle yards and well fenced to move cattle around, plus you can try your hand as an olive grove owner,” Agent Gene Fairbanks said.
“I expect the buyer interest will also come from Sydneysiders, with that continuing trend of professionals buying a second residence or a retirement home in our region.”
The handsome light filled entrance of the six-bedroom main residence has a high timber beamed ceiling with picturesque windows looking out to the rambling garden.
The home is designed to appreciate views from multiple vantages and has viewing platforms.
The wonderful balance of the home provides distinctive formal and informal sitting rooms that lend themselves to the change of seasons.
“It protects from the infamous Southern Highland winters with double glazed insulation and reverse cycle air,” Mr Fairbanks said.
Separately, there is a barn on site that is fully self-contained. The one-bedroom loft accommodation has floor to ceiling bookcases, an open fire place and a great view from fortress of solitude. The farm shed includes an office.
It has a new bespoke kitchen with stone bench tops, butlers pantry and AGA stove, overlooks the pool and the expansive view.
It also boasts resort style undercover entertainment area is perfect for alfresco dining around the pool area.
Mr Fairbanks said all three dwellings have been converted into unique spaces that are “charming and artsy”.
“It's just a fun property,” Mr Fairbanks said.
“It's the ideal place for avid entertainers. It would even make a great wedding venue, and it is based in the wedding capital of Australia.”
Mr Fairbanks said the new owners can graze up to 50 cattle and harvest the 715 tree olive grove.
The arable farm has three dams, a rainwater tank and bore, farm machinery shed, storage shed, cattle yards and laneway system.
