“Georgian Gem in Jamberoo” – an impeccable country home
Idyllic Jamberoo valley, just 90 minutes south of Sydney, offers a much-coveted lifestyle. Here, among rolling green hills, is where you’ll find Terragong – offered for sale for only the second time in its 165-year history.
Sitting on 12 acres of lush gardens and pastures, this 5-bed, 6-bath Georgian residence is one of the region’s original grand homes. The current owners have undertaken a detailed, extensive restoration, seamlessly married to an architect-designed, master-built extension, ensuring that the home celebrates its rich heritage while providing for every modern comfort.
With new plumbing and wiring throughout, a 10kW grid-connect solar array, rainwater tanks (in addition to mains water), the home treads lightly on the environment yet incorporates luxuries such as underfloor heating, gas fireplaces and an inground saltwater pool.
The grand Entrance Hall with its elegant cantilevered staircase adjoins a formal Dining Room and a Library - both rooms exuding character and authenticity, with 12-foot ceilings, original marble fire surrounds and bespoke joinery. Next, the Garden Room, with views over the park-scale lawns to the Southern Escarpment, with powder room and French doors opening onto the deep, north-facing verandah - an ideal spot for a morning cuppa or evening sundowner, drinking in the beautifully landscaped gardens and fountain.
Upstairs, a broad landing leads to main bedroom, huge principal bathroom (featuring ironbark floors, traditional freestanding ball&claw bath and Perrin & Rowe tapware), walk-in robe and study/5th bedroom. Downstairs, three more bedrooms, each featuring original woodwork and ceilings, ensuites and garden views.
The heart of the home is the newly-built, timber-framed Great Room with its casual Family & Dining space and chef’s Kitchen. This 2015 addition features exposed hand-made trusses of native Australian woods, woodburning fireplace, cosy window seats with paddock views and underfloor heating. The stylish Kitchen, complete with island topped with slab marble, includes quality Smeg, Miele and Liebherr appliances. Beyond, a spacious laundry and utility room as well as a separate fully tiled mudroom, toilet and shower.
Outdoors, the landscaped gardens, to a design by Myles Baldwin, include a spectacular and private pool terrace, 1820s slab hut (which now functions as a pool house accommodating up to 18 for sit-down dining), perennial garden beds, majestic, heritage-listed trees (Magnolia Grandiflora, pecan, Moreton Bay and Illawarra figs, Bunya and Norfolk pines, English Oak). A productive, enclosed kitchen garden with chook house, citrus trees and raised beds for vegetables and cut flowers, opens to a timber-framed pavilion, machinery shed, paddocks and Jerrara Creek - all yours to explore.
Regularly featured in leading architectural and interior design publications and included as one of Australia’s ‘most beautiful homes’ in Belle magazine’s most recent annual, Terragong is truly what elegant country living is all about. Enquire today!
