Royalla, the glamorous Robertson farm stay, has been listed for sale. It is a 47 hectare cattle farm that

grosses up to $80,000 a year from its visitors. Derek Leddie, former CEO of The Leading Edge market research firm and co-founder of athlete training outfit Out Of Your Mind, and his wife Nicole Lenord have owned Royalla for 10 years. The Pearsons Lane property boasts 200 species of plants and trees that are more than 100 years old. Royalla hosted 70 weddings last year and has 26 confirmed for 2015. The property accommodates up to 16 people across three recently renovated dwellings. David Nolan of Webster Nolan Real Estate, Cameron McKillop of McKillop Property and Ian Rayner Real Estate are giving $3.3 million price guidance. Leddie spent $2.8 million to buy the neglected retreat which comes with dry-stone walls, a creek and a dam.

The five bedroom architecturally designed Ducks Crossing, on 6450 square metres at Bowral, has been

listed with $4.5 million hopes through Drew Lindsay at Drew Lindsay Real Estate. It comes with a Ralph Lauren- inspired media room and French marble fireplaces. A chef’s kitchen and large butler’s pantry are appointed with every quality European appliance.

Peter and Doris Weiss hope to secure $15 million for Wollumbi Estate, complete with paddocks, vineyards

and olive groves. It is some 600 hectares on Uringalla Creek and its Red Angus herd stands at 450. Wollumbi produces up to 6000 bottles of pinot gris and 3000 bottles of pinot noir in a good season and sparkling wine is coming. The $15 million hopes would match the Southern Highlands pastoral record set in 2007 when impresario Reg Grundy bought Comfort Hill along the highway at Sutton

Forest from ad man Michael Ball. The couple are set to split their time between their Woollahra terrace and a Palm Beach weekender. It has been listed through Bill Carpenter at WM Carpenter & Associates, David Newgrosh Real Estate and Tony Barron at Sothebys.

Round Hill, the 93 hectare Southern Highlands lifestyle farm, has been listed by Australian cricket captain

Michael Clarke and his wife, Kyly. There are $6.5 million hopes for the very private property. Much of what is on offer – including a picket-fenced oval with cricket pitch – dates to the ownership of then Challenger chief Bill Ireland who used it for corporate and charity events after he bought the property for $2.05 million in 2000. Designed by Richard Rowe, the four bedroom house comes with a tennis court, equestrian arena, lake with boathouse and fountain. The Clarkes had contemplated opening a cricket academy prior to its listing through Cameron McKillop of McKillop Property.

Truro, the five-bedroom restored 1850s Balmoral Village trophy home, has been sold for $1.65

million by Bruce Fisher. The property was marketed through Cameron McKillop in conjunction with Andrew Thomas at First National Real Estate Cremorne as an imposing country estate with heritage rose gardens. There is a guest cottage, summerhouse, pool, tennis

court and stables in its eight hectares. Plans for subdivision are approved.

Fallowfield, the rambling farmhouse at Burradoo, has been listed after 50 years of Tinkler family ownership.

The double brick farmhouse at 83 Burradoo Road comes with a mid-1800s barn of sandstock brick. The 6418 square metre property has been listed through LJ Hooker agent Philip Barron.

Property industry veteran Lyn Shaddock and his wife Jan have sold their Werai retreat, The Folly,

after just four weeks on the market. The Greenhills Road property fetched $2,285,000. Shaddock, chairman of Growthpoint Properties and Calibre Capital, listed the 4.7 hectare property with $2.45 million hopes with Margaret McCauley Real Estate and Angus Yuill of Campbell Jones Property. The four bedroom house was built after the land was bought for $500,000 in 2001.

The Ridge, one of Bowral’s most gracious garden estates, has sold for $2.75 million through Karl Zabel at

Drew Lindsay Real Estate. It was sold by retired scientist John Mooney and his wife Veronica to Razorback buyers. Sandstone paths can be seen from the colonnaded verandah of the 1926 five bedroom home. It previously traded in 1996 at $975,000.

Cloud BreakEscape to the rainforest mountain sanctuary that is Cloud Break, Jamberoo.

Designed by multiple award-winning Australian architect Don Gazzard as his own home, this spectacular and totally private rainforest retreat has panoramic north-easterly views across to the Pacific coastline.

Set on 90 acres of lush sub-tropical rainforest and cattle pasture, the property nestles under the Jamberoo escarpment. It is only a 20 minute drive into the coastal town of Kiama or just a bit further to the Southern Highland villages of Robertson or Bowral. Summer or winter, you will always enjoy the climate in this private and peaceful haven.

The master bedroom with spacious ensuite sits connected via a covered walkway from the main entertainment area. The other 2 bedrooms and bathroom are in a private separate pod to one side of the living, dining and kitchen space. A generous light filled artist’s studio holds so much potential for the creative owner.

Cloud Break has been used by its owners as a home away from home and also let as an exclusive holiday rental retreat/romantic holiday retreat. There is significant potential to extend this accommodation or enjoy this unique property as a private home and take in the extraordinary surroundings.
