Perfectly positioned on 2.92 hectares at the end of a leafy lane, tucked into the foothills of Jaspers Brush, “Stonecrop” is an established hobby farm of rare charm and elegance.

Ideally located on 308 Strongs Road, Jaspers Brush, just minutes south of picturesque Berry township, this four-bedroom property is a true turnkey experience, as described by selling agent Daniel Watt of Woodhill Property.

“When you think of what that term, turnkey, means on a hobby farm, you’re not just talking about the home itself, which is impeccable. You’re talking about dams, fencing, landscaping, water troughs for animals and multiple partitioning of paddocks – the whole kit and caboodle,” he says.

“All a new owner would need to do to enjoy it would be to move in.”

Bedded into the hillside, the timber-clad home itself is flooded with an abundance of light.

Beyond the stable-style front door, the living room is loaded with impressive character including picture rails, an open fireplace and an elegant chandelier; an ideal spot to curl up with a good book.

Nine-foot ceilings and solid timber floorboards continue through to the dining room and well-equipped farmhouse kitchen with Smeg appliances and a unique coffered ceiling.

Steps lead down to a dedicated wine cellar and upstairs, the master suite offers the ideal retreat, with a walk-through wardrobe, a modern ensuite with a feature skylight and a seating area with a stunning picture window.

Verandah at 308 Strongs Road in Jaspers Brush

From just about every room and in every direction, the home opens out to one of its greatest drawcards – an expansive Wisteria-fringed wraparound veranda offering breathtaking views.

“This is a home that’s unpretentious, understated and charming, yet that verandah affords a beautiful aspect no matter where you look,” Daniel says.

On the north side this captures the afternoon sun, overlooking the sparkling heated saltwater pool and the rolling grounds and idyllic bush-clad landscape beyond.

Adjacent to this are additional outdoor entertainment spaces that cater to diverse experiences. Lunch long with friends in the al fresco dining space on a hot summer’s day as you watch the kids splash in the pool and come dusk, retreat to the firepit with a bottle of wine or hot cocoa, and wait for a blanket of stars.

Beyond this, the grounds are a botanical paradise, featuring a vibrant array of trees, shrubs and meticulously maintained gardens.

There is also ample guest parking, an oversized double garage and an adjacent workshop.

All tucked with supreme privacy behind a secure remote gate, Stonecrop is perfect for a weekender, holiday home and a place for family gatherings just two hours south of Sydney, with country walks, lanes and waterfalls to explore nearby.

The price guide for this exceptional property is $3.25 million.

“You get a lot for that: a home that’s really in the sweet spot in terms of size and location,” Daniel says.

“It’s just 10 minutes to Berry on a sealed road and two hours from Sydney, but when you arrive, there’s absolute exclusivity.”
