In the modern world where many are trapped on the mouse wheel of life, and especially in the hurly burly of the Sydney area, how much more pleasurable can life be than by having a bolt hole 90 minutes away in which to regroup, re-focus and relax?

Such an opportunity occurs with the auctioning of the Joadja district property, The Retreat. Our vendors have moved back to the UK, and with a currency discrepancy now in the $A favour you can be assured we have genuine sellers!

The Retreat comprises just over 90 acres, of which some 25 or so are cleared with the balance being Australian bushland with walkways that lead down to overlook the magnificent upper reaches of the Wingecarribee River and the Wingecarribee Gorge.

The 2/3 bedroom home has virtually a negative carbon foot print as the power supply is 100% solar powered and with the beautiful floor to ceiling glass doors and windows in the kitchen/lounge living area, you have a wonderful view of what the Australian bush (including the odd roo or three) looks like.

The property also has a classic chook house and an orchard.

The front gate is situated some 6kms along Richards Lane and in turn about 15 clicks from the Old Hume Highway so the shops and schools at Mittagong and Bowral, to say nothing of the fabled eating houses in historic Berrima, are easily accessible.
