Imagine coming home after a long day to an architectural masterpiece that exudes warmth, comfort and timeless elegance. It’s a nice dream, right?
Well, that dream might be closer than you think.
Set on five lush acres at 69 Gorman Road, Goulburn, ‘Belowra’ is a north-facing double-brick home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Designed by renowned architect Espie Dods and brought to life in 2005, the residence feels part early-Australian homestead, part contemporary Mediterranean villa.
Park-like gardens create a distinct sense of space, magnified by sweeping views across the Wollondilly River valley to the mountain ranges beyond.
Justin Gay, principal agent at Ray White Goulburn, was captivated by Belowra the moment he arrived.
“This is a thoughtfully curated country home, just beautiful, and a real standout on the market,” Justin says.
“You’re led to the entrance by a winding gravel driveway bordered by mature trees, before entering a striking courtyard imagined by talented garden designer James Hoskins.
“Stepping over the threshold puts you right in the heart of Belowra’s pavilion-style living; peaceful, welcoming and soaked in sunlight.”
Belowra’s main pavilion overlooks the surrounding countryside through expansive double-glazed windows.
The view paints a stunning backdrop for the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space within, which is kept comfortable by a central fireplace, in-slab heating and contemporary ceiling fans.
Connected to the main pavilion by wide, gallery-style hallways and open verandahs are two bedroom wings.
All four bedrooms are generously sized, with sunny aspects and views to Belowra’s central courtyard.
“On one side is the master suite, which comes equipped with a huge walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite,” Justin says.
“The second bedroom also has an ensuite, plus internal access to the spacious laundry.
“Across the courtyard, bedrooms three and four share a family bathroom. Rounding out this pavilion is a relaxed family room, perfect for quality time with loved ones.”
Outdoors, Belowra is defined by lush, low-maintenance gardens designed to complement its architecture from every angle. Mature trees, shrubs and wisteria vines frame peaceful sitting areas on both sides of the home.
Hobby farmers and home cooks are well catered for by a fully fenced kitchen garden, chicken coop, 104,000-litre rainwater tank, a bore and automatic lawn irrigation.
The huge shed complex is sure to thrill tinkerers and motoring enthusiasts. In the centre is a double-bay garage, bordered by an office, studio, workshop and storage spaces.
Goulburn is a historic community filled with life. Perfectly positioned and surrounded by cool-climate wine country, it’s a stunning place to call home no matter the season.
Locals enjoy easy access to Canberra, Sydney, the South Coast, and a plethora of neighbouring towns and villages ripe for exploration.
Your calendar in Goulburn will never be empty, filled by popular park runs, school fairs, bric-a-brac and farmers’ markets, race nights at Goulburn Speedway, lively shows at Goulburn Performing Arts Centre, and annual favourites like the Australian Blues Music Festival.
“Goulburn is a friendly, active community with beautifully preserved historic architecture and a fantastic arts and culture scene,” Justin says.
“Life moves a little slower here. You have all the amenities of a modern city at your doorstep without losing that authentic country town feel.
“Whether you’re downsizing from large acreage or leaving the city life behind, our town is the perfect tree-change.”
