Welcome to Amberlea Farm.
Brimming with charm, the historic homestead at 40 Budawang Road is set on almost 28 acres of land, right on the outskirts of Mongarlowe village.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property is currently set up as an Airbnb/farmstay.
There are plenty of tasteful spaces for visitors to enjoy, including the original federation-style homestead, a self-contained cottage, an artsy garden studio, and a barn with an annexed games room and conservatory.
Sales agent Suzanne Carter notes a lovely sense of rustic yet stylish character in every building.
“The current owners have lovingly renovated the original home with modern appliances and elegant interiors, without covering up its heritage features,” she says.
“The living, dining and kitchen area is definitely the heart of the main house. The real drawcard here is the stunning stone fireplace, which is truly grand.”
Both bedrooms in the homestead building are a good size with built-in robes for storage. The family bathroom is quaint, with sage green walls and charming coloured glass in the window.
Completely self-contained with its own country-style kitchen and modern bathroom, the studio cottage is just steps away from the main home.
“The accommodation here is set up for large, extended and multi-family groups,” Suzanne says.
“So this is really handy as a retreat space for grandparents or older kids. It even has a little front patio/sitting area where you can watch the sun set over the courtyard.”
Right next door is the barn. Fitted with a 5.5-kilowatt on-grid solar system, it powers underfloor heating throughout the original home.
The barn’s main space is large and versatile, connected to two annexes.
On one side is a relaxed games room, fully furnished with a bar, lounge area, board games and TV. On the other is a sunny conservatory, one of Suzanne’s favourite features.
“There are fresh herbs grown inside already, and it’s a lovely sitting space on cooler days,” she says.
“Then, you can step right outside to the open alfresco dining area, the perfect spot for a barbecue lunch.
“If you continue down from here, you’ll reach the fire pit. This is definitely the place to be in the evenings.”
Also by the barn is an artsy retreat/reading room, potting shed, seasonal berry patch, raised garden beds and greenhouse.
Amberlea Farm is surrounded by rolling paddocks and dotted with bushland, featuring a large dam and plenty of rainwater storage. Native wildlife share the property, including kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and black cockatoos.
Originally a mining settlement, Mongarlowe village is now peppered with medium to large farmlets, an easy 10-minute drive from historic Braidwood.
The village is defined by its pristine river, spring-fed from up in the nearby Budawang ranges.
“Most excitingly, the current owners are prepared to sell this beautiful property as-is, excluding some personal effects,” Suzanne says.
“This is brilliant for anyone looking to take advantage of the current Airbnb setup, which books out months in advance.
“Regardless, it’s a beautiful home in a beautiful part of the Braidwood region. You’d be remiss not to come and see it for yourself.”
Amberlea Farm at 40 Budawang Road in Mongarlowe/Braidwood is priced by expressions of interest, with a guide of $1,650,000. For more information, visit Amberlea Farm or phone Suzanne Carter on 0473 888 337.
