About this property
The Highland House
This stunning Highland home is a beautiful combination of stone, glass and timber.
We are one of the few Southern Highlands homes with a pool.
The Highlands House uses design features and classic styling with the large group in mind.
We have an oversized entertaining room, a slow combustion wood heater and reverse-cycle air conditioning.
The decks give rural views over glorious gardens, dam, swimming pool, spa and sauna.
The Highlands House is located only a short distance from the Colo Vale exit on The Hume Motorway 90 minutes south of Sydney. We are 10 minutes to Mittagong, 15 minutes to Bowral and 20 minutes to Berrima.
Gorgeous polished floorboards in the living area give the country feel.
Our roaring wood fire will keep you warm while the chefs in the kitchen get into action. We have a coffee machine, butler’s pantry, double dish drawer, high-end appliances and 5-burner gas stove top with chef’s oven.
The bathrooms are equally luxurious with two bathrooms having under floor heating.
The master suite has a king bed plus large single day bed overlooking the garden, a lovely sitting area and en suite .
Bedroom 5 also doubles as a media room with gas log fire, lounge suite and a large flatscreen tv.
The garden is nothing short of glorious. There are various “rooms” created with hedging, arbours, and various plantings of lemons, limes, apples, pears, grapes, roses and beautiful seasonal blossoms. Be sure to walk around to the front of the house and look back at the stunning stone wall and glass feature windows. There are beautiful nooks in which to sit and read, enjoy shade in summer and warm sunlight in cooler months.
There is an undercover bbq area and also a fully fenced swimming pool – perfect for summer entertainment (please be aware that Highland House has an Enviroswim freshwater swimming pool which uses a unique treatment technology, giving the water a slightly different appearance to chlorinated pools). If you would like the pool to be heated during your stay, it can be turned on for an extra cost as it is gas heated. If you would like to use sauna, it can be turned on for an extra cost. The Hot Tub is free to use. Outside the garden enclosure is a paddock with dam and some very curious and hungry vegetarian geese – be sure to send the scraps their way!
