5020 Illawarra Highway, Robertson, NSW 2577

Amidst the lush embrace of the coveted Southern Highlands, 'Big Sky Farm' unfolds over 25 acres of famously fertile, red alluvial soil, offering an enchanting blend of rustic charm, modern luxury, and environmental stewardship.

This property hosts an ensemble of inspiring structures: a meticulously renovated 182 sqm main house, a charming 48 sqm cottage, and a serene 26 sqm studio, all updated in 2023 under the guidance of Robert Plumb and architect Tash Clark. This renovation marries aesthetic appeal with practical design while honouring the site's heritage.

The main house is constructed with brick veneer for lasting durability, while the cottage and studio feature timber frames and hardy board, chosen for their fire resistance. High ceilings and three wood fireplaces create a spacious, warm atmosphere, enhanced by skylights and north-facing double-glazed windows that frame natural vistas.

Sustainability is at the forefront of every design choice, from the use of non-toxic Peter Lewis paints to the all-plywood kitchen with reclaimed stone benchtops and ethically sourced Tasmanian oak. Moreover, hotel-grade fixtures and fittings ensure a luxurious living experience.

The property's outdoor spaces, including a covered and heated alfresco deck made from Australian white mahogany, invite relaxation and contemplation of the natural beauty. Meanwhile, rolling hillsides give way to two paddocks and an area dedicated to regenerative temperate rainforest, affirming the farm's commitment to environmental preservation as it is to luxury living.
