73 Rose Valley Road, Rose Valley, NSW 2534

Introducing ?Karawarra,? a stunning estate on offer for only the second time in its long and storied history. Located less than two hours south of Sydney on the beautiful South coast, the property brings together heritage charm with contemporary comforts and offers serene privacy with a convenient location, resulting in the perfect family home or enviable rural escape.

Taking full advantage of its beautiful location and size totalling 5.25 hectares (13 acres) in the stunning Rose Valley, the property encompasses a main homestead, a stunning stone cottage and a gym/guest accommodation, storeroom and 5 car garage complex - all beautifully renovated and built with manicured garden beds, expansive lawns and parkland, native woodlands, two lakes, a games court and in-ground swimming pool and spa.

Built in 1913, the main residence has been extensively renovated to the very highest of standards, with every conceivable convenience essential for modern living. Four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with a luxurious ensuite and dressing room, feature direct access to the home?s deep and shady wrap-around verandah of native tallowwood, the fourth bedroom with a private sunroom. A formal living room, library, hobby/services room, bathroom, powder room and large open-plan kitchen and dining ?conservatory-style? extension plus three informal living areas, deliver multiple, generous spaces, for gracious family living and entertaining. The main homestead is climate control by way of two reverse cycle air-conditioning systems, ensuring year-round comfort.

The home?s current owners have ingeniously introduced modern amenities whilst preserving and highlighting the property?s historical charm. Conversion of the original fireplaces to Jetmaster gas, stunning hardwood parquetry flooring throughout, inclusion of bespoke joinery of the highest quality, original casements restored and fitted with new door and window furniture, bathrooms and powder room are dressed in marble and granite and feature period-inspired tapware - all are testament to the love and ?no expense spared? approach to the restoration of this beloved family abode.

In addition to the homestead, the estate offers two additional buildings, each with its own unique charm and functionality, and each treated with the same attention-to-detail renovation, restoration and construction bestowed upon the main homestead.

'The Dairy' built in the mid 1800's from blue stone quarried locally, was originally a residence which later served as the cream separating room during the property?s years as a working farm. ?The Dairy? has been meticulously restored; it now features reverse cycle climate control system, beautifully appointed kitchen, bath, and laundry rooms and comes with council-approved plans for the addition of a two-bedroom extension. Surrounding the building is a deep shady verandah of tallowwood, framed by beautifully planted garden beds.

?The Silo? built in 2012/13, is a functional and versatile complex, elegantly designed to complement an attached original farm grain silo. This barn-style building with its distinctive cupola features a drive-in, drive-out double garage designed for easy manoeuvring of trailers and horse floats. ?The Silo? also provides extensive storage and car space parking for a further two cars and a large workshop, in addition to a spacious guest or staff accommodation or games/gymnasium area, complete with ensuite facilities and kitchenette.

?The Silo? is perfectly situated overlooking the parkland lawn and close to the 700 square metre, hedged and AstroTurfed games court, currently used as a hockey pitch but with the potential for conversion to a tennis or basket/netball court.

The current owners have reforested much of the property, with over 6,000 native trees planted in the early 1990s now matured, creating a private native forest that serves as a wildlife corridor from the escarpment to the sea.

The property is connected to town water supply, two 400-litre tanks to store gas delivered by tanker, and a Biolytix septic system ensures environmentally friendly waste management on-site. The property also features a gas-heated swimming pool and spa with a chlorine-free sanitation system. A state-of-the-art monitored security system includes 24-hour live video surveillance and recording facilities and can be controlled using either smartphone or computer, so that the alarm system, front gates, and garage doors can be remotely operated. Wireless NBN and satellite cable TV are available in all buildings.

Located less than five minutes from Gerringong and Werri Beach, and less than ten minutes from Kiama, ?Karawarra? offers the perfect balance of rural serenity and convenient access to local amenities. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly magnificent and unique estate. Experience the perfect blend of heritage, luxury, and privacy at ?Karawarra.?
