Country elegance with a French influence,
in a refined rural retreat

Historic Mereworth Estate (c.1824), located near Berrima, is one of the most significant
Southern Highlands’ landholdings. The property is comprised of 1,234 acres (499.49 ha)
of well developed, scenic and highly productive farming and grazing country.

Mereworth is ideally located 5km south-west of Berrima, 16km from Bowral, 130km from Sydney
and 160km from Canberra.

Superbly designed by John Amory, the French provincial inspired sandstone residence
(9 bedrooms/6 bathrooms) has classic exteriors and interiors, striking a fine balance between
modern living and period features.

Refined entertaining areas include the formal sitting room with huge Baronial fireplace and raked ceilings and the intimate formal dining room. Shuttered windows and French doors throughout frame lovely views of the gardens. The bright and airy upper level accommodates four of the nine generous bedrooms. Also adjoining the residence is the large billiards room.

Proceeding down an avenue of established golden elms, the main residence is surrounded by a mature Paul Sorenson garden featuring extensive lawns, fountained rose garden, a northern sandstone terrace, idyllic swimming pool and its own bell tower – of course.

A landmark property, Mereworth is prominently positioned in a gently undulating, fertile valley. Well maintained paddocks have improved exotic/native pastures and flourishing fodder crops. Ideal for grazing cattle, sheep or horses. A rich natural environment with strong basalt/loam soils, abundant water including 2 creeks, 12 main dams & 7 bores with a 488ML irrigation license.

A versatile range of working improvements includes a 4-stand shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards, shearers’ quarters, 3 machinery sheds, hay shed & stables. There are also 3 staff/guest cottages.
Mereworth is close to the historic village of Berrima and vibrant Bowral, with the full range of services it has to offer. There is a wealth of restaurants, galleries and award winning local wineries. A variety of excellent public & private schools, including Frensham, Gib Gate, Tudor House, Oxley College and Chevalier College, are also within easy reach.

Mereworth offers an outstanding lifestyle and a quality working farm with significant subdivision potential
