114 Sproules Lane

Glenquarry NSW 2576

Located in desirable Sproules Lane, Glenquarry, is this rare jewel of the Southern Highlands where heritage charm and contemporary design are seamlessly entwined. The original circa 1900 cottage enhanced by a striking architectural pavilion style extension, offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple lounge retreats and a stunning design driven kitchen which is geared for family life and entertaining at the highest level. A double-sided Cheminees Philippe fireplace anchors the generous living spaces which connect to return verandahs via multiple French doors beckoning the wider landscape and views inside.
Recently completed, the secondary dwelling is a showcase of craftsmanship with marble benchtops, travertine and oak flooring, large exposed tallow wood beams and a marble-paved outdoor entertaining terrace, complemented by a slow combustion fireplace. The grounds, designed by renowned landscape architect Michael Bligh have been envisaged as an arboretum with more than 50 varieties of trees including oaks, elms, maples and fruit trees, all framed by a Zelcova-lined driveway. A basalt stone wall encircles the main house, complemented by a dramatic circular basalt fire pit, while a bore-fed dam with pontoon provides irrigation for the garden and a place to cool off in Summer. Sustainability is at the heart of the property with a 120,000-litre rainwater tank, extensive solar system of 82 panels and 18 lithium batteries, and a backup diesel generator. Full garden lighting and irrigation systems are controlled remotely via app, as are the back-to-base security cameras and robot mower programmed for the grounds. Lifestyle and leisure are celebrated with a Flare fire outdoor cooking fireplace from New Zealand in the undercover dining pavilion, a large games room with slow combustion fireplace, a practice basketball court and designated motorcycle garage. The enclosure encompassing chook house, vegetable garden and woodshed adds to the self-sufficient character of the estate, while undercover parking for six cars ensures practicality. Aberglen is more than a home-it is a sanctuary where heritage whispers through walls, modern design elevates daily living, and the landscape itself becomes part of the story.
