All about enjoying life: Charming Southern Highlands home hits the market

Rural living doesn’t come much more charming than in the glamorous Southern Highlands, where the area’s beautiful local wines and produce, the lush national parks, and endless boutique shopping are all in your back pocket, while Sydney and Canberra are not far away. 

Although if you find the right property, you may not actually want to leave the bounds of your own beautifully-manicured hedges. 

Sitting in the tightly held and coveted area of Burradoo, 583A Moss Vale Road has been a labour of love for the current owner. 

He’s meticulously updated the property over the years, renovating the original home into a four-bedroom, four-bathroom premium country estate. 

Throughout the property, you’ll find three-metre ceilings, American oak floorboards and travertine tiles, while a slow-combustion fireplace warms the main living space. 

Even the most impressive wardrobe collection is catered for in the main bedroom suite’s spacious walk-in-robe, while the en suite is trimmed with Carrara marble and boasts a free-standing tub. 

Visitors will be more than comfortable in the guest room, complete with en suite, or entertained in the media room with its plush carpet and surround sound speakers. 

While the Southern Highlands boasts an impressive array of eateries, the home’s kitchen is a destination in itself. Its dual ovens and induction cooktops, concealed fridge, as well as butler’s pantry, are all wrapped around a custom-designed stone island bench, which had to be specially craned in. From there, glass bifold doors peel back to connect to a sun-drenched al fresco area.

Outside, a detached studio with two rooms and a bathroom would work equally well as an office, a home business, a granny flat or a man cave. 

No matter where you step, selling agent Sarah Long of Raine & Horne Southern Highlands says, this is a property that’s all about enjoying life.

“Immediately when you walk in, you just want to kick your shoes off, turn some music on, hang back and just relax. It’s got a real liveability to it,” she says. 

Burradoo is filled with the kind of streets where you can’t help but slow down the car to try to sneak a glimpse of the grandeur hiding behind hedging and private gating.

This home is no different, and sits on a 0.4-hectare block, complete with a beautifully manicured garden, which Long says requires surprisingly little maintenance, leaving more time to kick back and enjoy life. 

“The liveability of the home is to die for. You’ve got the majority of the acre to entertain on. Kids can run around, you can have barbecues, you can have people dancing out there,” she says.

“You can let loose and have some fun or just relax and be very comfortable. It’s very inviting.”
