Overview

Situated just minutes from the historic heart of Berrima, this exceptional 20-acre riverside estate, known as 'Gowan Brae', offers an unparalleled connection to nature combined with an elegant lifestyle. The extensive frontage along the Wingecarribee River makes this property a rare find in the Southern Highlands, providing tranquility without isolation.

The residence itself is a thoughtfully designed sanctuary, showcasing interiors by Alexandra McKenzie Springett and Thomas Hamel, renowned for their restrained, warm aesthetics that harmoniously draw the garden and landscape into the living experience. This home is perfect for those who cherish relaxed gatherings and value indoor and outdoor living.

The estate boasts diverse features that enhance its appeal:

A north-south tennis court complemented by a charming pavilion, ideal for recreation and leisurely afternoons.
An elegant boathouse and multiple alfresco terraces offer versatile spaces for entertaining and peaceful enjoyment.
Carefully crafted stonework and tiered gardens that complement the natural topography.
Walking tracks meandering through native forest leading to a secluded waterfall cascading from Cockatoo Hill.

The property teems with wildlife, including wombats, owls, platypus sightings, and the songs of over 100 bird species, epitomizing a landscape that breathes vitality and peace with every sunrise and sunset.

The classic home, built in the early 1990s and thoughtfully renovated in 2022, overlooks a gentle river bend and serves as an enduring canvas for life’s moments with family and friends. The formal living and dining areas feature fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, and panoramic windows framing river views. The open-plan kitchen and family room are impressively appointed with high ceilings, a large marble island, premium appliances, and a wood heater, combining functionality with style.

Accommodation includes a master suite with river vistas, an ensuite, and a walk-in dressing room, alongside four further sizeable bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. Supplementary spaces like dual studies and a TV room enhance usability, designed with quality finishes tailored for comfort and practicality.

Additional amenities include central ducted heating, a two-car garage plus extra parking, and a fully netted orchard with mature fruit trees alongside a vegetable garden, catering well to horticultural interests.
