1639 Caoura Straße

Boasting the most extraordinary, captivating views this exceptional 50-hectare property in the Southern Highlands is well located, being less than two hours’ drive to Canberra and Wollongong, and a comfortable two hours to Sydney. This is a ’big sky’ property like no other. 

Offering absolute privacy this stunning property includes a combination of cleared land and high quality native bushland (adjoins Moreton NP), two titles (Lot 1 = 40 ha and Lot 2 = 10 ha), two dwellings, a renovated shed and machinery shed. The possibilities for commercial or recreational uses are significant. Key features include: 

A fabulous two-three bed homestead with sweeping views across the district and beyond. Included are two bathrooms, timber floors, high ceilings, a sunbathed living room with polished concrete floor that opens to an east/north terrace. The slow combustion wood fire with ducting offers comfort in the cooler months whilst windows and glass doors across the east and north side allow winter sun to penetrate the home. The homestead is double brick and fully insulted and is set among established gardens that include Rhododendrons, Sasanqua’s, a Gingko, lillypilly, echium, a range of citrus and thousands of bulbs. 

A fabulous, galvanised steel clad second dwelling provides perhaps the most expansive views of all. This beautiful contemporary studio offers two/three bedrooms, bathroom and laundry and a second story kitchen, dining and living room. A slow combustion wood fire and gas (bottled) hot water are included.

The gardens and wider property is well established. Once an orchard, little remains of its past however a newly renovated, upper level two-room office with expansive bush views and reverse cycle air conditioning forms part of the large original packing shed. The downstairs section of the packing shed is spacious, and suitable for a workshop, entertaining space or games room. Further renovation would finish off this space beautifully. Both the office and home have high-speed Wi-fi.

Included in the property is a large lock up store/machinery shed. 

Approx 20 hectares of this property are cleared, with fertile and productive basalt soils and excellent water. With a spring-fed well and 2 dams, the property has significant potential for development for eco-tourism and/or agricultural pursuits (zoned RU2 – Rural Landscape). The total rainwater tank capacity for the property is 155,000 litres comprising 4 x 20,000 litre tanks, 1 x 10,000 litre tank and 1 x 65,000 litre tank.

If seclusion, privacy, captivating views and vistas and the ability to lose yourself even for a weekend, is high on your priority list, then this property may be exactly what you’re looking for.
