<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Veteran Southern Highlands agent Michael Maloney joins Ray White Bowral

Although there’s plenty of stock on market, it has been a busy winter for prestige hobby farm sales in the NSW Southern Highlands.
Topping the list of whisper quiet sales has been Widgee Waa, which was offered by the retired merchant banker turned green finance advocate Mark Burrows.
He’s retained Sugarloaf Farm, with its acclaimed garden with Wollemi pine, but reputedly ­secured a very bullish $14.5 million for Widgee Waa. The price just falls short of the $15 million Southern Highlands record.
Widgee Waa, set on 150ha at East Kangaloon, is an aggregation built up over 31 years, since around the time when Burrows was head of investment bank advisory Baring Brothers Burrows.
The property has cattle farming infrastructure, a manager’s cottage plus stable facilities for a significant brood mare and thoroughbred horse operation.
It was listed by Christies International agent Ken Jacobs in conjunction with Meares &amp; Co agent Chris Meares.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/7/22/Widgee%20Waa%202.jpg" alt="">
The 200ha property Comfort Hill at Sutton Forest that sold to the late international television show veteran Reg Grundy in 2007 retains the record of $15 million in the Highlands. Last month Pepper Tree Creek Estate, one of Kangaloon’s oldest properties, sold for $6.7 million to the Sartorel family through Di Jones agent Kate McCullagh.
The 30ha property was established in 1862, around the time the early settlers of Kangaloon and Robertson areas started purchasing land.
Its stone cottage, plus out buildings and dry stones walls, including a quaint dairy, were built during that time. A team of landscapers, builders, horticulturalists and green keepers recreated the estate.
There are 40-plus offerings priced at $3 million or over on­ ­realestate.com.au.

Knight Bailey and DiJONES have joined forces in the Southern Highlands.
"We are thrilled to announce that the Knight Bailey team have joined DiJONES Real Estate in the Southern Highlands," the DiJONES agency said.
"By joining forces, the combined business will continue to deliver the DiJONES difference to Southern Highlands homeowners.
"With a larger team, they will now meet more buyers and be better positioned to assist vendors in maximising the outcome of their sale.⁠"
Craig Symons and Deirdre Brennan are both in residential sales, while Michael Cawthorn handles rural as well as residential properties. Cawthorn brings his personal assitant Sue Lane.
The decision comes just a week after two other Southern Highlands real estate agency's partnered together.
Cameron McKillop's McKillop Agency <a href="/news/cameron-mckillop-merges-with-the-agency-in-the-southern-highlands">merged with The Agency</a>, under the latter's branding.

The Southern Highlands region has been exhibiting a weakening trend across the residential market, albeit with a feeling that the market is now stabilising, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) report. 
The report notes that prices in the main townships of Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale appear to have been more resilient than some of the perimeter locations.
Properties above the $1.5 million mark are experiencing longer selling periods than more recent times due to a combination of decreased buyer demand and vendors yet to adjust to the current market.
It is a tale of two markets in some locations, with Burradoo holding up well overall during the downturn.
"Properties are still fetching good money and continuing to appeal to the Sydney buyers with relatively quick selling periods when priced correctly," the valuation firm said. 
"That being said, some properties in the $2-million-plus market have demonstrated volatility in the last 12 months."
An example of this sensitivity is an architect designed new executive style residence on the western side of Moss Vale Road which recently sold for $2 million after initially being listed for $2.5 million In July 2018 with two separate agencies.
Another example was a two-level designer home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-burradoo-130269186" target="_blank">2 Greyleaves Avenue, Burraddo</a> (pictured below) which has been sold for $245,000. 
Set on a 4,001 square metre block, it comprises four bedrooms, reception area, formal and informal living areas, kitchen and teenage retreat or cinema room.
Other features include in-ground pool, sun lounge area, and four car garage.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/25/burradoo%201.jpg" alt="">
Mittagong’s market activity has definitely showed signs of weakening in the tougher period with the number of recorded sales down approximately 35% on the median of the last three years as per PriceFinder, with the peak selling period being April to May.
A four bedroom Mittagong family house has recently been sold for $825,000.
Set on a 2,000 square metre corner position, the house at<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/77-79-joadja-st-welby-nsw-2575?pid=p4ep-pdp%7Csold-pdp:property-history-cta#timeline" target="_blank"> 77-79 Joadja Street, Welby </a>(pictured below) comes with four bedrooms, open plan entertaining dining, covered alfresco entertaining, and freestanding shed with fully equipped kitchen. 
The property was sold at $830,000 three years ago. 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/25/welby%201.jpg" alt="">
According to the HTW report, Braemar as a fringe location has also felt the effects of the downturn with prices falling approximately five to 10% over the last six months.
"We are also observing market adjustments and the definition of market value, willing buyer, willing seller coming into play, with a few unrealistic vendors coming to terms with the current market conditions," the valuation firm noted. 
An example of this is a circa 2017 dwelling within the Nattai Ponds Estate recently sold for $640,000 after initially being listed between $770,000 and $750,000 in October 2018.
"The vacant land market is still in oversupply for the major subdivisions across the three major townships with vendors forced to drop their prices in order to be competitive with other listings or an extended selling period is to be expected."

The Agency have expanded their Southern Highlands footprint, joining forces with McKillop Property.
The Agency, led by Ben Olofsen, and Cameron McKillop, who led McKillop Property, will have a team of 15 agents and staff.
McKillop says joining The Agency not only provides enormous exposure for our properties in Sydney, but nationally.
“We find those clients who have already migrated from Sydney are more comfortable dealing with a brand that has a footprint in both locations, which we can now provide", McKillop said.
Ben Olofsen said uniting with Cameron McKillop and his team was a natural choice, as in his view, like attracts like.
“Cameron McKillop and his team are highly regarded, well-known and respected. The Agency attracts great talent and this partnership makes sense. We will be working across all market segments, from prestige residential to rural and commercial properties, delivering premium service at all times,” Olofsen says.
Matt Lahood, CEO of The Agency, said the deal is an important alliance between two prolific, premium agents in the Southern Highlands area and surrounds.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/25/McKillop%20The%20Agency%202.jpg" alt=""> From left; Cameron McKillop, Ben Olofsen, Thomas McGlynn, Matt Lahood.
“Ben Olofsen has already achieved incredible results with The Agency in the Southern Highlands, and now with the addition of Cameron McKillop and his highly talented team, we can help realise the expansion of these impressive real estate operations.”
Sydney agent Ben Collier says a number of his clients weekend in their Southern Highlands property.
“I have many Paddington and Woollahra clients who have downsized from the family home and live locally Monday to Friday but then spend their weekends in the Southern Highlands,” prestige agent Ben Collier says. “Strategically there is a strong connection between Sydney’s blue chip areas and the Southern Highlands. “It is not uncommon for clients who have homes in the Southern Highlands to ask for recommendations, they want an agency that can tap into the Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore as well as the Highlands. These types of clients are attracted to our brand and the premium level of service we can provide.”
 Director of sales Thomas<a href="https://theagency.com.au/team/thomas-mcglynn"> </a>McGlynn said the connection between Sydney buyers and the Southern Highlands market is an important one. “Given the Sydney buyer interest in the Southern Highlands region, being able to connect our high-performing Sydney team with both Ben Olofsen and Cameron McKillop’s team, is a very exciting next step for The Agency," McGlynn said.

The retired merchant banker Mark Burrows is set to offload some of his Southern Highlands farm holdings.
He's keeping the house, called Sugarloaf Farm and acclaimed garden, with its Wollemi pine, but selling some 380 acres of the 800 acres he holds at East Kangaloon. There's talks of $12 million plus prospects for the Widgee Waa offering.
The property is an aggregation built up over 31 years, when he was head of investment bank advisory Baring Brothers Burrows.
The property has cattle farming infrastructure, equestrian facilities and a manager's cottage.
"I don't need two farms in the Southern Highlands and certainly not two of the largest land holdings," Burrows said ahead of the official marketing. 
Burrows had a long career in investment banking, commencing with Baring Brothers in London. 
Burrows moved back to Australia when he became Lazard Australia's first chairman.
He has been a non-executive director of the Asian Board of The Nature Conservancy, the world’s largest environmental NGO.
It is reportedly being listed by Christies International in conjunction with Meares &amp; Co who have suggested it was likely to fetch between $30,000 and $40,000 an acre.
The last sale on Widgee Waa Lane was in 2012 when was paid $1.65 million for an 18 hectare farm (pictured). 
The 200-hectare property Comfort Hill at Sutton Forest sold in 2007 for a record of $15 million to the late international television show veteran Reg Grundy.
Last year, Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes bought Kangaloon's 45-hectare Rosehill Farm for $5.35 million.

The Nine Entertainment report did not have any confirmation on the buyer identify or sale price from Ken Jacobs and Christie's International or its conjunctional agent Meares &amp; Co who always suggested it was likely to fetch between $30,000 and $40,000 an acre.
The last sale on Widgee Waa Lane was in 2012 when was paid $1.65 million for an 18 hectare farm (pictured). 
The 200-hectare property Comfort Hill at Sutton Forest sold in 2007 for a record of $15 million to the late international television show veteran Reg Grundy.
Last year, the Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes bought <a href="/news/rosehill-farm-kangaloon-sold-by-rose-deo">Kangaloon's 45-hectare Rosehill Farm</a> for $5.35 million in March last year.

The Robertson retreat of property developer John Boyd and his wife Marly has been sold off market in one of the Southern Highlands biggest sales.
The 70 hectare Robertson Park has been bought by the Malouf family from Watsons Bay for around $9 million.
The Boyds, who retain Sydney’s highest art deco residential penthouse atop the ANZ tower on Castle­reagh St, have recently finished their Palm Beach home, so aren't getting down to the Highlands.
Although the couple, who married in 2012, have their eye on another renovation project in the Highlands.
It was 1999 when Boyd bought the unfinished home for $2.55 million from the grazier Daryl Isles who had bought it for $925,000 in 1993 from Barrie Loiterton.
It came with 180-square sandstone mansion completed in 1996 with about a third of the property fenced for deer.  
John and Marly enlisted the support of interior stylist Monique Sartor of Sartorial Interiors for the home set behind massive iron gates from a French chateau.
Robertson has seen recent sales including Crossways Farm which was bought by Sue Gibson for $5.55 million and Twins Creek Farm, the 62 hectare estate bought by radio host Kyle Sandilands for $2,982,000.

Property Developer John Boyd sells Southern Highlands farm for $9 million

<html><body>
Style-setter Collette Dinnigan and her husband Bradley Cocks, the online travel and marketing innovator, have secured a stunning sale in the not-so sleepy Southern Highlands.
They’ve sold Springfield Farm at Avoca for $7.25 million, and made the move closer to Bowral (above).
It was only late 2016 when Dinnigan and Cocks bought their first Highlands retreat after paying $4.5 million for the 8ha estate with its European-style abode.
It then came with a five-bedroom main residence, a three-bedroom groundskeepers’ cottage, a tennis court, ornamental lake and stables with paddocks for horses.
There’s also the Highlands must-have vegie plot, fruit trees and even a small vineyard.
Without any public marketing, the couple have flipped the home, selling it to interior designer Kinchem Hegedus, wife of retired Jones Lang Lasalle Asia Pacific chief Peter Barge.
Barge and Hegedus are no strangers to the Highlands, having sold their $5 million Italianate Bowral home The Rift before their move to Bali.
After winter in the Highlands, Dinnigan and Cocks are now busy focusing on their Italian property.
Posting to Instagram, Dinnigan wished farewell to the Southern Highlands for spring.
“As excited as I am to be leaving for Roma, I will miss this countryside, the animals, and the sense of space,” she captioned a picture of the farm with grazing cows in the background.
The couple’s soon-to-be-launched luxury accommodation enterprise involves the renovation of a 400-year-old Puglia farmhouse.
Dinnigan has a strong track record in property flipping.
In late 2016, before the move to Avoca, she sold the family’s Watsons Bay home for $9 million, having paid $6.25 million just 18 months earlier.
Dinnigan refurbished the 1920s Masonic lodge on Gap Rd after buying the four-bedroom home from James Packer’s then right-hand man Matthew “Ched” Csidei and his lawyer wife Lauren Roscoe.
Dinnigan and Cocks will retain a Bowral base, however, having settled on Alderley Edge, a six-bedroom home on 2ha. The property includes a quaint guest cottage, a barn and a lawn tennis court.
They’ve paid $3.5 million for the 1880s cottage.
