Positioned just behind the vibrant village of Bowral, luxury Southern Highlands estate ‘Beacon Hill’ features a sprawling contemporary home on 100-acres (approx. 40.5 ha), with breathtaking panoramic views across the region to the Blue Mountains and Sydney.

“This property is really special,” Karen Bordignon told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “The home offers resort style living on 100 acres of stunning, very fertile and water abundant land, all within 5 minutes of Bowral town where you can enjoy beautiful dining and shopping experiences.” 

Originally designed by renowned Australian architect Glenn Murcutt in the early 1990’s, the estate has evolved with a recent addition by architect Mark Gerstl that provides an entertainment and recreation wing.

Speaking to WILLIAMS MEDIA, Mark described his concept, "The Beacon Hill design required an extremely high level of design consideration being an iconic Glenn Murcutt original."

"The extension is a contemporary evocation of the original with exquisite detailing and is centred around and overlooks the pool and spa with a large undercover terrace and adjacent luxurious sauna."

"Nothing was left out, including imported European-made electric double glazed windows, in-floor hydronic heating and modern timber ceilings (amongst many others), all within the original house design qualities of open-plan outdoor-oriented living spaces allowing a seamless design to flow throughout."

Interiors have been recently refreshed by Coco Republic with a soft neutral palette, creating an eclectic modern country home space with a relaxed and soothing environment. 

The single level home enjoys multiple open plan living with entertainment and recreation areas including a large gym and a pool deck with resort-style, heated pool, adjacent heated spa, sauna and outdoor heated shower.

Beautiful, low maintenance, parkland gardens offer numerous outdoor entertaining enclaves, with art installations and sculptures, and a separate firepit.

There are four spacious bedrooms and a designer kitchen with spectacular garden and country views. A spacious studio/office is separately positioned, with its own fireplace and terrace.

The property is also a working farm, with highly productive pastures and extensive facilities for horses and livestock, including tack room and wash down bay, level grass arena, and galvanised steel yards with a carrying capacity of approx. 50 breeders plus progeny.

Water is a stand-out feature of the estate, with rainwater, natural spring, dams and bore available.

“You have space, views all over the district from the land, and then you can enjoy the sophistication of a very well serviced country town,” Karen explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA. “The land is perfectly covered with the most amazing large trees, providing enough shelter for animals and it isn’t too bare which means most of the land is useable.”

Located around 90 minutes’ drive from Sydney and less than two hours from Canberra, the property is set among many large acreages that form the boundary of Bowral. 

“These properties are mostly owned by Sydney’s Captains of Industry.  You know you will have only the best neighbours in the district,” Karen told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
