The ultimate Southern Highlands’ country estate located in the rolling green hills just outside Robertson, ‘Velvet Ranch’ is just over 120 acres of perfection. Featuring a stunning five-bedroom home and incredible equestrian facilities and manager’s accommodation, it would make a most luxurious weekender or a fabulous full-time family compound and farm.
Set within magical cool-climate gardens, approach along a driveway where winding drystone walls entice images of English hedgerows. Step inside the grand entry foyer of the main house and enjoy oversized luxury spaces, feature walls of local sandstone, coffered ceilings, stunning modern chandeliers and views through picture windows to pockets of rainforest right on your doorstep. The interior spaces are generous and beautifully designed and the home enjoys spectacular green views to distant mountain ranges.
Two further residences each have two bedrooms and are well appointed for guests, staff or as passive income earners. Additionally, there are DA approved plans for a 2 bedroom farm stay, further adding to the incredible value and opportunity that exists.
A championship-sized tennis court is located in a delightful pocket of the romantic gardens: wander through and discover water features, fishponds and a stunning Monet-style bridge.
Formerly a working horse property, the equestrian facilities are second to none. A state-of-the-art, twelve-stall stable complex is complemented by a vast indoor round yard, show rooms, feed and tack rooms, outdoor and indoor wash bays and spectacular dressage and show jumping facilities including two arenas and a further training area. New post and rail Polvin fencing systems have been installed in the horse paddocks. Once used as the training base for the Sydney Olympic show jumping team, every detail has been considered.
Currently also running livestock, the farm infrastructure includes three large sheds for farm equipment, cattle yards and seven dams (five of them spring fed). Set amongst approximately 20 acres of native rainforest with areas of pine forest, the property is elevated to take in distant views of the national park. ‘Velvet Ranch’ is a property of rare quality, located just a couple of minutes from the thriving village of Robertson with its recently invigorated heart: you’ll find a fabulous country pub, a wine bar, gourmet cafes, an artisan bakery and artistic and cultural offerings galore. Just 30 minutes to the magnificent South Coast beaches and 90 minutes to Sydney, an inspection of ‘Velvet Ranch’ is recommended to understand the true beauty and incredible location of this unique property.
