With panoramic views from the Blue Mountains to Sydney, across the escarpment to the ocean, and south to Moreton National Park, this magnificent property is offered for the first time in 25 years.

This unique property comprising an extensive one level home surrounded by lush pasture and farm buildings in the exclusive company of a handful of other rural holdings in a no-through road location. This elevated, yet level position commands one of the most remarkable views in New South Wales looking north, east and south and to the west lies a magnificent stand of Yarrawa Brush remnant rainforest with distant views of the Great Dividing Range.

Whisper quiet and approached by a picturesque country lane past cows, dry-stone walls and rolling fields to a sublime, curving driveway bordered by mature pin oaks, more dry-stone fences and garden gates to arrive at a perfectly level ridge on the pinnacle of Wingecarribee Hill at 840 metres above sea level. Offering absolute privacy and seclusion away from people, noise and traffic offering a tranquil refuge for humans and native wildlife and numerous varieties of birds which populate the garden and the rainforest to provide a delightful serenade.

The twenty-five year established garden enjoys the benefit of the deep, rich, basalt soils with abundant fruit trees from two prolific orchards, greener than green pasture, and stands of native rainforest and mature exotics.

The substantial main residence is single level and solid double brick construction, and along with the generous double garage and conservatory, stands on level ground. The large separate studio shares the magnificent view and along with the gazebo, tractor and equipment sheds, cattle yards and stables are all easily accessible.

The superb main bedroom suite with large dressing room and twin basin ensuite with bath, shower, heated underfloor and towel rail shares the exquisite views through the bedroom's pretty east and north facing bay window. An exceptionally large guest suite has its own ensuite with bath and shower whilst two more pretty bedrooms share a bathroom with heated floor.

Other rooms include a quiet study, internal laundry/mud room and powder room. Ample built in 'robes and storage throughout.

Previously the property was used as a prominent Arab horse stud and has since then served as a beef cattle farm, initially breeding, but now agisted raising steers. Approximately three quarters of the property is fenced and troughed for grazing whilst the beautiful rainforest remains ungrazed and preserved.

Sassafras offers a rare and unique opportunity to experience autumn's colour, winter's mists in the valleys and frosts, spring's stunning array of cool-climate bulbs and the promise of summer's warmth and full bloom along with the astounding combination of uninterrupted distant views and serenity sought yet seldom found.
