One of the largest rural landbanks located between the growth corridor of Sydney and Canberra is on the market for the first time in 30 years. The landscape encompasses a natural private lake named The Morass and significant frontage to Lake Bathurst. 

At the heart of the approximately 4,330 acre (approx. 1,752ha) estate is the completely restored Bundong Homestead, a landmark residence of the Southern Tablelands, designed by respected architect E.C. Manfred and constructed between 1878 and 1888.

“This homestead was once the headquarters for a much larger pastoral holding,” Sam Triggs told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“It retains over 4,000 acres of freehold land with a 13km of road frontage, fertile cattle and sheep grazing country, beautiful established gardens, and the largest private lake I’ve ever seen on a private property, which is home to an incredible variety of birdlife. At times, thousands of black swans flock to the lake to breed,” he explained. 

“The property is an historic landmark in the area, built over 10 years by E.C. Manfred and completely and meticulously restored. There’s a plaque on the property to commemorate the first church service outside of Sydney conducted by Governor Macquarie.”

Positioned to command sweeping views across The Morass and Lake Bathurst, the stately homestead is widely regarded as one of the region's most significant heritage properties, retaining its original Victorian grandeur. 

Constructed from double brick and triple brick with a sandstone render, the meticulously restored home features wide hallways, soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, large bay windows, brick chimneys and gas central heating. 

The layout features a formal entrance and central hall, 5 generously proportioned bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (including sauna and bidet), formal dining room, large study, drawing room, kitchen, wine cellar and an internal men's workshop. The homestead also incorporates a separate, fully self-contained guest quarters with kitchen, lounge, dining, bedroom and bathroom.

Professionally designed landscaped gardens surround the homestead. The formal and informal gardens feature mature deciduous and evergreen trees, irrigated lawns, and colourful garden beds, together with a paved courtyard and pavilion. Neatly bordered by hedges, the mature gardens are well maintained and compliment the significant homestead. 

There are also two renovated staff houses including the 3-bedroom manager’s house and 2-bedroom staff cottage.

The country ranges from alluvial and sandy loams to brown granite rises with a large percentage of the property arable/trafficable and well suited to cropping and pasture development. 

The property features excellent livestock water supplied from two equipped bores supplying elevated tanks reticulating to troughs along with a network of dams. Under the stewardship of the current owners some 500,000 tree lines have been planted providing excellent wind breaks and livestock shelter.
