Jeremy Hodder of Hodder Borg dares not venture a guess as to who will purchase the remarkable property at 94 Barfield Road, Cambewarra.

Sitting pretty as a picture on one neat acre, Rose & Barn Homestead is a versatile multi-dwelling estate, where the new owners can choose what to champion — lifestyle, income or flexible living.

“I’ll be just as curious as anyone to find out who buys this property,” he says.

“It could be a multigenerational family who wants to live close but not in each other’s pockets, a hobby farmer looking for a country escape or someone who wants to leverage the configuration and the location to maximise the short let accommodation.”

The scene is set with views of picturesque open farmland stretching to the Cambewarra Mountain, offering the proportions and privacy of a rural escape without the upkeep of a larger acreage.

The property has been renovated from top to bottom, including a transformation of the gardens into a patchwork of established, thoughtful, low-maintenance spaces.

“The owners have poured their hearts and souls into turning Rose & Barn Homestead into what it is today,” he says. “A lot of that work went into turning the grounds into a collection of gorgeous but usable spaces. Every corner of the property is lovely to be in, and offers a different way to enjoy it.”

The estate centres around a farmhouse-inspired main residence, where cedar cladding, raked ceilings, exposed beams, picture windows and French doors create a character-rich aesthetic.

Spanning more than 200 sqm, the home suits both family life and guest accommodation, featuring four ensuite bedrooms, three distinct living areas, a welcoming front porch, verandah and a balcony capturing elevated mountain views.

“Every window takes in a mountain view,” Jeremy says. “It’s really quite special.”

Complementing the main residence are three further dwellings that blend history with functionality. These include the 1851 Pioneers Rose Cottage, a two-bedroom barn cabin, and a versatile, fully serviced studio.

Each dwelling has its own “flavour”, according to Jeremy, and each is privately positioned with its own access and parking, allowing for co-living, guest stays or multiple income streams without compromising privacy.

“It’s quite unique for a one-acre property to function the way it functions,” Jeremy says.

“It means for anyone wanting to explore using the property as an income stream, the space can be — and has been — leased to one big group, or as individual bookings.

“With some highly sought-after wedding venues, it’s been a success story on Airbnb.”

Perfectly positioned in a high-growth pocket of Cambewarra, this property offers seamless access to Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Nowra.

Residents enjoy the ultimate blend of semi-rural serenity and urban convenience, with quality schools, hospitals and Bomaderry’s transport links just moments away.
