There’s a quiet confidence to this Exeter home as it stands on lush pastures, ready to host relaxation and entertainment in equal measure.
Architecturally designed and masterbuilt in 2011 by Gibraltar Homes, 107 Rockleigh Road encompasses four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a plethora of stylish living spaces.
The north-facing residence is set on 18 acres of land. It’s ultra-private and offers uninterrupted views across the Southern Highlands countryside.
While there are plenty of striking design features to note, Charlotte Hanrahan from Ray White Bowral says it’s the luxury additions that really set the property apart.
“This home has a distinct sense of character. It’s luxurious without being overwhelming or gaudy,” she says.
“The library, wine cellar, private study and in-ground swimming pool are just some of its many thoughtful lifestyle features.
“There’s a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere here, but make no mistake, this property is an awesome entertainer as well.”
Visitors are welcomed over a stone threshold into a dedicated entry foyer before stepping through to an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space filled with natural light.
A modern double-sided fireplace separates the lounge and dining areas with flair. It provides an enviable backdrop for any romantic dinner or family movie night.
The kitchen is fitted with a butler’s pantry, stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry and top-quality appliances. Elegant pendant lights hover above the generous island bench, which also serves as extra storage.
This home’s clever design places the master suite in its own wing. The master bedroom is equipped with a huge walk-through wardrobe and a private ensuite featuring floor-to-ceiling feature tiles, a double vanity, and a full-size bathtub with garden views.
On the other side of the house are three more bedrooms, each with built-in storage. Two share a stylish family bathroom with a separate toilet for privacy, while the third enjoys its own ensuite and external access to the pool area.
Every bathroom features underfloor heating and heated towel rails, and all bedrooms are strategically designed to maximise views.
“The heart of this home has to be the incredible timber entertainment deck,” Charlotte says.
“Sliding doors open up from the living and dining areas to a covered outdoor lounge with raked ceilings and another beautiful fireplace.
“Beyond that is the inground mineral swimming pool, perfectly positioned to capture the northern sun.”
Surrounding the home are vibrant landscaped gardens and mature trees, watered with a sprinkler and drip irrigation system.
Additional features include a double garage and four-bay shed, an on-roof solar system, rainwater storage and Starlink internet. Beyond the lawn is a little dam with a central water feature.
An on-site nursery is currently leased by negotiation, with operators happy to continue the lease or relocate to free up the space.
Life in Exeter moves at a gentle pace.
The village is close to a range of award-winning cool-climate vineyards and holds an old-school market on the first Saturday of every month.
Exeter General Store is a beloved local institution, serving great coffee, breakfast, lunch, and tasty treats, along with daily essentials. Historic St Aidans Church is a must-see, as is the heritage-listed Exeter Railway Station.
This balance is exactly what makes this village so appealing to rural downsizers, retirees and growing families.
“Exeter is peaceful but very well-connected,” Charlotte says.
“Moss Vale and Bundanoon are just a short drive away, the Hume Highway is easily accessible, and rail links to Sydney and Canberra are right on your doorstep.
“Whoever calls 107 Rockleigh Road home next will be joining a friendly, active community. It would make the perfect family residence, weekend entertainer, or high-class holiday rental.”
107 Rockleigh Road, Exeter, is for sale with a price guide of $5,000,000 to $5,500,000. For more information or to book an inspection, contact Charlotte Hanrahan on 0414 757 727.
