Lifestyle property for sale in Bathurst

Set across 41 hectares of rolling, game-fenced land, this extraordinary lifestyle farm offers a rare blend of tranquility, character, and practical versatility—an estate designed not merely as a home, but as a way of life. At its heart stands an expansive eight-bedroom residence, a home distinguished by generous proportions, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a deep connection to its natural surroundings.

From the moment one steps inside, the house reveals its architectural charm through high ceilings, exposed wooden and cement beams, and beautifully detailed tongue-and-groove ceilings. The combination of terracotta quarry tiles and waterproof laminate flooring adds both warmth and durability, grounding the home in a rustic elegance that suits its farm setting. The living spaces are designed to encourage relaxation and gathering. A welcoming bar-area lounge and an elegant formal lounge, anchored by its own wood-burning fireplace, create inviting places to linger on cool evenings. A dedicated cellar enhances the home's character while offering practical storage. Throughout the ground floor, French doors open many of the bedrooms to the outdoors, allowing fresh air and garden scents to drift inside and blurring the boundary between home and nature. The downstairs wing includes four comfortable bedrooms, while the upper level offers four additional bedrooms, each with high ceilings, exposed beams, and ceiling fans. A cosy pajama lounge provides a private retreat for family or guests, completing the home's thoughtful layout. At the centre of the residence lies a lush internal courtyard, a serene garden sanctuary, complemented by a walled courtyard off the kitchen, ideal for morning coffee or sheltered alfresco dining. Two expansive verandas extend the home outward: a large, partially enclosed north-facing veranda perfect for sheltered year-round enjoyment, and a south-facing veranda that overlooks the sparkling pool and commands distant views of Port Alfred. The entire 41-hectare property is electric game-fenced and divided into four well-established camps, planted with kikuyu and pasture mix, all serviced by automatic water troughs fed from a reliable borehole. Water is one of this farm's greatest assets: a very strong second borehole irrigates the extensive garden from a large holding tank with 200 000l capacity, while 25,000 litres of rainwater storage and additional borehole supply ensure ample water for household use. A raised, shade-covered vegetable garden supports self-sufficient living. Practical infrastructure further enhances the property's appeal. A substantial 350 m² shed offers excellent storage and has the potential to be transformed into a barn for stables, making the farm highly adaptable for equestrian or agricultural pursuits. Additional accommodation includes three two-bedroom staff houses, providing valuable rental potential, as well as domestic quarters and a one-bedroom cottage located near the main residence.
