Land: 8.40ha (20.76 acres) (approx)

Mittagong had a few properties on the market with exceptionally high sales, obviously, a pricey area, and I can see why.

Are you starting to feel like you just went to the movies and saw "Australia"?

I think the large glass door below is a beautiful unexpected piece of architecture on this significantly authentic heritage property.

I think this home could do with a bit of an updated styling, but it still looked quite classy (in a thrifty way!) hehe Considering they are asking around $5 million big ones, I'd imagine the new owner would be spending a bit on new carpets!

It's disappointing there's no pics of the bedrooms, but at least there's one of the all important home theatre... lol

AND what did the agent say!

Usually when I find a property which mostly shows outdoor photos, it's because the inside is not so "fabulous!"

This home was different, inside is outstanding, definitely luxury, despite being surrounded by horses!!

A truly elegant home, lived in, not staged for sale.

Obviously a family orientated home.

I believe the true luxury of this room is elevated because of it's size, it's granduer.

I'm thinking these owners have full time gardeners, no?

I'm not a horse person myself, buy hey, if it comes with the property, I'm not sending it back!
Adds to the charm, no?

The colouring in these pics make them very "lavish", but enjoyable all the same!
Upper Beaconsfield is semi-rural, usually large blocks surrounded by many ancient trees!

I don't think this home has been staged, nor decorated by a professional, I believe the owners have great taste and style, and have carefully put this home together over years...

I'm not usually a fan of parquetry flooring, but in this home, it's quite stunning!

This is a truly stunning kitchen - no expense spared!

This rug in this room is divine!

What a gorgeous bedroom!!

What views!

Of course, so much room, why not tennis?

AND here's the master plan!

Great sized home, great sized land, just a great home!

This kinda driveway surely says to you and your friends
"you have arrived!"

Two feature fire places in this huge living area, I like that!

I have to say, I personally would have placed that Plasma on the other side of the doorway wall to the mirror over the table (to the right of the picture above), not over the doorway. Doesn't it look peculiar there?

Interesting wine cellar.

Rumpus area overlooking pool etc...

I can't see a fence there, either that is a great glass fence,
or this pool is not child safe...

That is a pretty spectacular entertaining area tho, I can see myself and the girls lying around there all day in the sun... (childless!)

And what luxury rural home wouldn't have it's own tennis court!

AND here's what the agent said about it!
