Imagine waking up to birdsong, the smell of fresh-cut grass and a view of rolling fields that stretch to the horizon.
That’s exactly what life at Fernbrook could bring.
Located at 561 Myra Vale Road in Wildes Meadow, this gorgeous country estate spans 51 ha of lush pasture, native plantings and meticulously landscaped gardens.
The property features a stylish five-bedroom, three-bathroom weatherboard home, built in 2001 and equipped with its own private lake, tennis court and swimming pool.
Gene Fairbanks from Ray White Bowral describes Fernbrook as the perfect permanent residence or luxury weekender.
“Fernbrook delivers that enviable rural lifestyle highly sought after in the area,” he says.
“The home is warm, inviting and incredibly spacious, with a range of comfortable living areas to choose from.
“Every room has been thoughtfully designed and detailed. Raked ceilings, timber floors, plantation shutters and finely-crafted joinery give off an air of sophistication throughout.”
Stepping over the threshold into a dedicated entry foyer, guests are led right into the contemporary kitchen.
Home chefs are spoiled here by top-quality appliances, stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry with loads of storage. The long island bench looks out over a covered outdoor entertainment zone, which Gene says is the perfect spot to gather with family and friends.
Past the kitchen are the open-plan dining space and huge family room, kept warm on chilly winter nights by a cosy fireplace.
Fenbrook has five spacious bedrooms, four on ground level. Three have built-in wardrobes and share a luxurious marble bathroom, complete with a freestanding tub and wetroom.
The fourth is set up perfectly for guests, with a skylit ensuite, central lounge and plenty of extra storage space.
Upstairs, the dedicated master suite offers incredible views of the surrounding countryside and Fitzroy Falls beyond.
The grounds are a patchwork of beautifully landscaped gardens, paved pathways, sculptures, vine arches and Australian native plantings. It’s an almost storybook setting, balanced by luxury features that include a full-sized tennis court and an in-ground swimming pool.
Fertile pastures provide the perfect home for horses, cattle, sheep, or other hobby livestock.
“Fernbrook sprawls across more than 126 acres,” Gene says.
“The private lake attracts all kinds of native birdlife and features a charming jetty and waterside gazebo.
“With so much land at your fingertips, it’s easy to imagine morning walks, afternoon picnics and evenings under the stars with loved ones.”
The property is also home to a quaint 1950s cottage, currently used as manager’s quarters.
Wildes Meadow is a peaceful Southern Highlands region known for its gorgeous rolling hills, spring-fed creeks and large lifestyle holdings.
Just a few minutes up the road, Burrawang and Robertson provide easy access to daily essentials alongside paddock-to-plate restaurants, pubs and pie shops, markets, galleries and gorgeous 1900s architecture.
“Bowral’s central hub is also less than half an hour away for your boutique shopping and professional services,” Gene says.
“Being so private yet wonderfully connected, Fernbrook would really suit the discerning buyer looking for a weekend retreat, as well as growing families and retirees downsizing from larger acreage.
“No matter where you come from, this property has everything you need to enjoy a slower rural lifestyle in one of the Southern Highlands’ most beautiful locations.”
