44-46 Mackeys Lane, Robertson, NSW 2577

Offered to the market for the first time in four decades, this extraordinary Highlands estate is a rare opportunity to own a piece of living history. The homestead, built in 1882 and held by just four owners in its almost 150-year history, has been lovingly extended and refined over time while preserving its original Victorian character, including ornate lacework, stained-glass windows, tessellated verandah tiles and a curved hardwood staircase. Inside, French doors open on three sides to perfect entertaining spaces, while an updated kitchen with marble benchtops and a generous slow-combustion family room ensure every modern comfort is at hand. A fully self-contained cottage provides flexible options for rental income, guest accommodation or a private retreat. Beyond the homestead, the grounds are nothing short of breathtaking. A formal English-style rosery anchors expansive gardens that bloom year-round, featuring hydrangeas, rhododendrons, camellias, grand oaks, redwoods and rare specimen plants with many over a century old. The property sits on an elevated, often misty plateau above Robertson, creating a unique micro-climate beloved by local birdlife including bowerbirds, rosellas and eagles. Four paddocks of fertile red soil with panoramic valley views, a 19th-century well, an American-style barn and original dairy infrastructure complete this truly exceptional offering, one where the next stewards will find both a rich heritage and ample room to leave their own legacy.
