This exceptional property is a rare offering in the Southern Highlands, boasting extraordinary and captivating views across a vast 50-hectare landscape. Located less than two hours from Canberra and Wollongong, and approximately two hours from Sydney, it offers a unique blend of privacy, natural beauty, and accessibility.

The property's gardens and wider grounds are well established.
