Le Donjon

Positioned on the edge of the picturesque village of Burrawang and set across eighteen breathtaking acres, heritage icon ’The Keep’ is a rare and remarkable estate. Originally built circa 1870, the main residence comprises five generous bedrooms and five bathrooms (including ensuites), complemented by a newly renovated, self-contained one-bedroom garden cottage. 

A series of formal and informal living, dining, reading and sitting rooms create a home of exceptional scale and warmth, where romance and heritage elegance combine. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living room provides family ambience and opens through French doors to sweeping lawns and a tranquil central lake with jetty, framing idyllic rural views in every direction.

The renowned Michael Bligh–designed gardens are a standout feature, showcasing century-old deciduous trees, a classic rose walk, and a woodland garden layered with bulbs that transform into a springtime spectacle. The garden is fully irrigated.

Equestrian facilities are extensive and thoughtfully designed, including a six-horse barn (stables), six horse yards, a six-horse sand-based walker with variable speed, a 700-metre canter track, sand-based warm-up track and a dedicated equine swimming pool. Speciality horse fencing has been recently installed.

Previously operated as a boutique bed and breakfast and with endless potential, the home’s soaring 12-foot ceilings and multiple fireplaces deliver an authentic and luxurious Highlands’ experience. Just a stroll to the Burrawang Village Hotel and only fifteen minutes from Bowral’s excellent schools, shopping and medical facilities, ’The Keep’ represents a special opportunity to secure a landmark Southern Highlands estate of distinction.
