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 verandah of nearly 250sqm. The home is built in 2 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 bench tops 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.
