Approx 2 kms down Jamberoo Mtn Road from the Robertson Pie Shop, swing left into the private driveway lined with mature Rhododendrons, Maples & Oak. Past the enormous machinery shed and discreetly hidden 2 x 100,000 litre concrete water tanks, a gentle curve leads you to the parking bay (4 cars) and the superbly & deftly renovated stone dairy building (26mt x 12 mt) that now provides stylish accommodation encompassing 1 bedroom, open plan living/dining hall, shower room + separate toilet, full facility kitchen and massive storage room. The soaring 12' ceiling throughout is predominantly lined with Tassie Oak panels and each room is spacious beyond belief. Warmed by a fan assisted slow combustion fireplace, King Arthur would have felt at home here with enough seating for all his Knights & their maids ! A trellis covered enormous entertaining deck hosts a mature Kiwi fruit vine and would make for a picturesque wedding venue, exclusive restaurant or private party hire - all STCA, of course. Or simply 'Farmstay B&B' with the opportunity for your own use when not occupied. The original homestead burnt down 1960's and has not been replaced which leaves the option up to you.
For more industrious farming pursuits, approximately 47ha (116 acres), runs north and east across the escarpment with Tongarra Creek meandering through patches of "Yarawah Brush" rainforest, stands of majestic mature Eucalypts, 1ha of spring fed dam (fenced for safety), and amazing vistas to the Illawarra coastline from Wollongong down to Kiama. Several options here to site a new 'McMansion' if excited to build overlooking the coastline and far away from the maddening crowd where you would be protected from the chilly South Westerlies that buffet the Southern Highlands in Winter. The terrain provides for various livestock - anything from grazing cattle, sheep or alpacas to horses with room to gallop without hindrance but naturally sheltered amidst the age old flora if the weather sets in. There are several springs throughout the property, some permanent & others appear after heavy rain - inherent to the lush escarpment position.
Handy to the dairy is the comprehensive orchard : varied Citrus, Cherry, Plums, Apples, Peach, Nashi , Olive + Pomegranate, Walnut & Hazelnut. Another pretty spring fed dam (with stone wall) nor far from the 2 towering silos (built 1962) is overlooked by Weeping Willows.
If it was mine, I would call it "Camelot", for
