Capturing breathtaking views across Eling Forest out towards Oberon, this rural Southern Highlands estate features a charming stone homestead tucked snuggly into the landscape.

Designed by Fred Miniter of Pratt Miniter, the home was built in 2005 by the owners’ sons’ stonemasonry business, J&J Stonewall Constructions, using stone sourced from the property itself.

The property’s owners told WILLIAMS MEDIA the property has a deep European history, with the Great South Road, Bridge over Black Bobs Creek, the Queen Arms Hotel and many quarry sites along Black Bobs Creek, which runs through.

“This home can offer so many options for the future. The block is very flexible in its options for use and there is so much to explore around the creek, which could be developed into an area of sanctuary. The garden is interesting and there are many rooms and areas that are quiet and beautiful. We have great main road access for travel to Sydney and Canberra. There are many strings to this property, imagination is the key to the future.”

Spacious and comfortable interiors provide a cosy rustic aesthetic with travertine floors, rosewood and stone, as well as beautiful scenic views across the property.

There are multiple areas to relax and enjoy, with the views providing a feeling of space, and the sunroom offering a great spot to warm up in winter. Double glazed windows and doors and insulated ceilings aid energy efficiency, as does solar and wood boiler fuelled hydronic heating.

The home’s five bedrooms include the master bedroom with ensuite, sitting area, and a neatly hidden walk-through robe. Bedrooms two and three share a well-presented bathroom and separate toilet, while two enormous 10m long bedrooms upstairs each have ensuites and share a kitchenette.

Outside there are two sheds, one of which was relocated from the former Tip Top factory in Fairfield, in Sydney’s west, as well as livestock facilities including eight paddocks with troughs, cattle yards, vet crush and laneways, three dams, and two sandstone gorges.
