Tucked into an atmospheric pocket of the Southern Highlands and set on approx. 80 acres, Lynwood is a home with history in its bones. Originally built in the early 1900s, then rebuilt and extended some 25 years ago, it now stands as both a nod to heritage and a graceful expression of modern country life.
Built of hardwood, rough-sawn weatherboards that speak of craft and care, the home breathes history through every detail. Yellow stringybark and turpentine floorboards-salvaged from the original structure-carry footsteps across generations.
The home is configured with living quarters and sleeping quarters each of which spill from a generous welcoming foyer. Sleeping quarters consist of a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, and three additional bedrooms, two of which spill out to the sweeping verandah, where morning light and birdsong gather. The remainder of the house offers fabulous mix of formal and informal living and dining areas, many of which flow onto verandahs and the garden beyond, with an additional entry to two rooms perfectly set up as offices, separate from the heart of the home but adding to its flexibility.
The landscape is geared for both beauty and functional living with formal structure around the house including level lawns for croquet, soccer and even perfectly sized for marquee set up - the perfect country garden escape. Meadow-like in places, it meanders gently towards the dam, giving way to deep views across the valley and towards Bundanoon Creek. Rose gardens, banks of hydrangea, and sculptural Torulosa hedging-sourced in 1967 from Claude Crowe's nursery by the Berrima Bridge-speak of decades of care and a landscapers' expert creation. All in all, a garden of great beauty and specialty, but its great success lives in touching the lives of all who are lucky enough to experience it.
This garden has been designed by Chris & Charlotte Webb – landscape architects in whos family it has been since 1900. This is the first time this special property has been presented to the market since 1900 and as such represents a significant and unique offering.
