The Grange, Berrima - A Signature Southern Highlands Estate on Over 100 Acres

Description

Positioned on just over 100 acres of gently undulating, improved pasture, The Grange Berrima is an exceptional lifestyle estate in one of the Southern Highlands’ most desirable locations. Zoned RU2 Rural Landscape, the property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a luxurious rural retreat with outstanding infrastructure, future potential, and breathtaking natural beauty. At the centre of the estate lies one of the region’s largest privately owned lakes - a striking 7.2-acre dam that not only enhances the serenity of the landscape but provides an abundant water source, with an estimated capacity of 40,000 megalitres.

The property showcases a seamless blend of rustic charm and contemporary refinement through two thoughtfully converted barn-style residences. Each home offers its own distinctive character and a strong connection to the property's equestrian heritage, making The Grange ideal for multi-generational living, luxury accommodation, or an income-generating rural enterprise.

The main residence, known as The Lodge, is designed for grand-scale living and entertaining. A mezzanine level hosts four private, climate-controlled guest suites, each with tranquil views and generous lounge areas. The main living zone is open-plan, featuring a designer kitchen, dining area, and lounge anchored by a gas fireplace. Key highlights include the impressive Great Room, a soaring double-height space of approximately 150 square metres with panoramic rural views, and a flexible reception room suited to events or creative use. A separate, self-contained guest or manager’s wing, the Ainsley Suite, offers its own entry, living area, bedroom, and laundry facilities. A commercial-grade caterer’s kitchen (currently inactive), a 41-metre verandah, and a vine-draped courtyard framed by fruit trees complete this elegant rural homestead.

The Granary, the second residence, delivers dual-level living with modern country style. With barn doors at both ends, a statement fireplace, and interiors finished with timber-look flooring, walnut panelling, and shiplap walls, the space radiates warmth and character. Two ensuited bedrooms, a third bedroom or study, and a second kitchen and living area upstairs provide versatile accommodation options, ideal for guests, extended family, or short-stay rental.

The landscaped grounds are as functional as they are beautiful, featuring a productive house paddock, ornamental gardens, vegetable beds, and a variety of fruit trees including citrus, figs, apples, kiwi, and berries. A dedicated apple orchard sits near the duckpond paddock, attracting abundant birdlife and enhancing the natural charm of the estate. Surrounding The Lodge are flourishing heritage gardens that offer colour and interest throughout the seasons.

Equestrian and farming infrastructure is extensive. There are 18 horse paddocks—seven with post and rail fencing—a full-sized all-weather arena, four stables, and two tack rooms, with scope for further boxes. Stockguard and Duncan Equine fencing ensure safety and durability. A 45-acre open pasture section supports cattle or additional horses, while cattle yards, six dams, two bores, and a large machinery shed with bathroom facilities support mixed agricultural use. A 25-metre by 50-metre level lawn provides an ideal setting for events, weddings, or private functions.

Access to the property is via a private all-weather road, lined with newly planted Liquid Ambers and Leylandii trees. Additional infrastructure includes multiple water tanks with a total capacity of 190,000 litres, solar power, Starlink internet, and development approval in place for future works or ventures.

With its scale, setting, and versatility, The Grange Berrima offers an unmatched opportunity to secure an iconic Southern Highlands estate. Whether you envision a peaceful country residence, an equestrian centre, boutique accommodation, or a venue of distinction, this remarkable property delivers on every front.
