Tintagel is one of the best kept secrets
in the Southern Highlands

An elegant estate on almost 7 acres, Tintagel offers privacy and tranquillity close to the heart of Bowral and Mittagong and all within an easy 1½ hours drive of Sydney’s CBD. Enjoy glorious north-easterly views towards the coast from Tintagel’s charming shingle-roofed stone house and beautifully maintained gardens. Relax around the pool or enjoy a spirited game of tennis in a world of your own.

Refined living

Nestled in an idyllic woodland setting, the charming two storey rough-hewn stone residence with shingled roof makes the perfect family home or highlands retreat.

Entertaining is relaxed and refined in the formal living and dining rooms in the warmth of the open fireplace.

Enjoy casual living in the conservatory which flows through French doors to the garden or in the intimate Garden Room which opens to the rose-fringed stone terrace beyond.

A gourmet eat-in kitchen adjoins the family ‘snug’ with its cosy fireplace.

Creature comforts

Interior spaces are designed with expansive terracotta-tiled living areas, cosy underfloor heating, wide dormer and bay windows, two open-hearth stone fireplaces, and carpeted bedrooms.
Family living comprises a large master bedroom, ensuite and office; two guest rooms (one used as a study), media room (4th bedroom), and main bathroom on the first floor.

A separate private guest room with ensuite welcomes visitors on the ground floor.

The home also has a powder room and laundry and an extensive 60 dozen bottle cellar.

The garage has ample room for 3 cars and a workshop area.

Gardens to delight

Sheltered on the eastern side of Mount Gibraltar, Tintagel is a hillside garden of surprises.

The grounds rise to a summer house which enjoys vistas of the garden and glimpses of the distant hills of the escarpment to the east.

Informal paths meander from the summer house through the upper garden across a tumbling stream to parkland joyous with daffodils in the spring.

Stone steps and pathways lead to a native garden enveloping a swimming pool and entertainment area.

Against a backdrop of eucalypts and wattles, a tennis court emerges from the rocks below the pool.

The garden is frequented by nature’s visitors including king parrots, rosellas, eastern lorikeets, kookaburras, robins, blue wrens and a host of other bird species.

Green inspiration

Verdant privacy is assured with sentries of hedges - cotoneasters, may bush, tall pines, dashing photinia, and native bush - ringing the property boundaries.

A dry stone wall encloses a vegetable garden set out between stone paths. Citrus fruits thrive in the warmth of the north-east facing beds and the gardener’s tools hide in an adjoining quaint stone shed.

Herbs flourish in a small garden close to the kitchen.
