Looking for your next home within NSW? We’ve got you covered.
Horderns Road, Bowral
When is a stunning heritage home more than the sum of its impressive parts? When its address is the exclusive grounds of a five-star country hotel and spa. That’s the extra-special cachet of The Hayloft, a 1910 beauty at the Milton Park Country House Hotel & Spa on the edge of Bowral.
Part of the renowned Hordern Estate, which has inspired artists since the early 1800s, the privately fenced 0.8-hectare property is to the manor born. There are two vast living areas with cathedral ceilings warmed by wood fires, a chic yet quaint country kitchen and six bedrooms with en suites.
From every vantage point the views of surrounding gardens are simply spectacular. A separate four-bedroom cottage is no less impressive – a standout is the modern addition of a conservatory that opens to manicured English gardens and a serene statement water feature.
“It’s luxe living in a unique country club setting, with Milton Park’s five-star facilities on your doorstep,” says Samuel Lindsay of Drew Lindsay Sotheby’s International.

Offering a quintessential slice of Byron Bay, this weatherboard home presents a harmonious blend of meticulous modernisation and preserved original charm. “At the heart of its clever, single-level design is a chef’s kitchen, flowing down to the lounge and out to the pool area,” the agent says. “Beyond its walls, its prime location takes centre stage, promising leisurely strolls to the centre of town and Main Beach.”
