“Highfield”, currently run as the headquarters of the Dunnhill Alpaca Stud, comprises
approx. 100 acres of mostly cleared country. Here is a magnificent property
within 2 hours of Sydney and Canberra that is a functioning farm with a magnificent
homestead.
The 94sq sandstone home has a ground floor area of approx. 400sqm, first floor area of
220sqm and return verandahs of nearly 250sqm. The home is built in two separate
wings and comprises beautiful polished NZ beech timber floors, exceptionally wide
entrance hallway, 7 bedrooms, 4 fabulous bathrooms, rumpus room, living room, family
room, billiard room, library, 2 full kitchens with Brush Box benchtops and Smeg and
Delongi appliances, 16 pairs of cedar French doors, cedar shutters, wide verandahs, 2
enormous combustion heaters and gas heating points
This is a truly remarkable property which has so many potential uses. As the house is
built as two separate wings, with a very wide hallway between them, you could live on
one side with 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms upstairs and a very large farmhouse kitchen, 3
reception rooms, laundry/mudroom and bathroom downstairs – and use the other wing
(similar size) either for holiday accommodation, country BandB, or rent it out permanently.
Alternatively, if you have a large extended family there’s plenty of room for everyone.
As well as the homestead, “Highfield” comprises:
* 2 hole golfcourse
* 4 large day paddocks
* 5 night paddocks
* High quality water bore (500 gph from 36 metres) + 120,000 litre fresh water storage

* 20x7m hayshed, stables
* 12x7m carport
* Separate manager’s 2 bedroom/2 bathroom quarters
* 20 separate phone lines
* Vegetable gardens
New gardens have been planted around the home with a circular front driveway, which
will look beautiful in the coming years.
For anyone looking for a property genuinely suitable for agricultural purposes or horses,
cattle, alpacas, sheep, etc., easily accessed from Sydney or Canberra, with a truly
magnificent home – look no further.
