What you see: Hidden beyond a tree-lined private drive bordered by acres of cabernet wine grapes, Willowmere unfolds across 80.2 hectares of pristine riverfront land. Here, sweeping views of the Murrumbidgee and the Brindabellas frame an extraordinary lifestyle a place where grand scale meets quiet seclusion, just 20 minutes from Canberra's CBD. For many years known as the Canberra region's most substantial home and awarded MBA House of the Year, it was constructed to the highest specification and detail. At its heart stands the Manor a 1,750m² architectural statement of timeless elegance. With 9 bedrooms including a separate guest cottage, 6 fireplaces, and sunlit north-facing terraces and wide balconies, every space is designed to elevate daily living into something remarkable, grand by scale but sophisticated and reserved. Beyond the house, Willowmere is a world of its own. 1.2km of private Murrumbidgee River frontage - the idyllic scene of excellent fishing adventures with family and friends, quiet picnics shaded by massive Casuarinas or just quiet reflection with only the distant burbling rapids and call of the many different birds to hear. Don't be surprised to see a group of deer, kangaroos or wombats enjoying some peaceful time nearby. Landscaped rose gardens, orchards, and 500m² of fully equipped marquee space opening up to a park with its own water garden full of colourful fish and aquatic plants; a dream setting for weddings and private events. A private sealed runway and a substantial hangar and office discreetly tucked away from view of the Manor behind mature oaks and pine trees. Working stables, even a sports oval, and rich arable land that has been home to many Angus and Murray Grey cattle. Already operating as a boutique short-stay and events destination, Willowmere offers remarkable income potential from accommodation, weddings, functions, and more with further scope to expand its current approvals. This is more than a residence. It's a legacy estate - a place to build a life for now and for generations to come, a business, or both.
