A rolling 41ha parcel of farmland in the Southern Highlands, which last sold back in 2012 for $3.05 million, has come to market with a price guide of $10 million.
The sprawling rural estate, once featured in Highlife Magazine showcasing its colourful gardens, is listed with Anne Stone of McGrath Bowral through a private treaty sale.
Beyond the stately front gates and meandering driveway, the working farm consists of a five-bedroom main residence coupled with a three-bedroom guest cottage, as well as a private self-contained studio space.
Also known as Dragon Farm, the picturesque pocket sits 10kms west of Robertson and 47kms from the shores of Kiama.
Near the sleepy hamlet of Wildes Meadow, the provincial property houses 17 fenced paddocks, a championship-sized tennis court with a pavilion, plus a wellness area including a gym and steam room.
Just in time for the Australian Open, McGrath recently highlighted the value of a home grown tennis court in its 2026 Prestige Residential report.
The demand for lifestyle properties with sporting amenities has surged since the early days of the pandemic in 2020, with tennis courts proving to be a big hit.
Along Australia’s east coast, the study showed there were 71 prestige properties with tennis courts sold in the 12-months to October 2025.
New South Wales accounted for 46 per cent of those transactions, and the McGrath paper reported a price premium of 42 per cent achieved for listings with a tennis court during that period.
“Super-prestige properties equipped with tennis courts remain tightly held. Rather than being transacted for a premium they’re being land banked, as the increasing rarity of estates on large parcels will likely drive value over the longterm,” said McGrath research analyst, Michelle Ciesielski.
The main homestead at the Southern Highlands property makes the most of its panoramic setting with district views from three separate living areas and covered wraparound verandas.
Within the 323sq m footprint of the primary residence there is a modern country style kitchen, a central courtyard and main bedroom with a study nook and ensuite.
Ideal for visitors or live-in staff, the rustic cottage measures approximately 140sq m and has an open plan living zone with kitchen flowing through to a traditional veranda, plus three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and one ensuite.
Beside the cottage an original dairy shed has been transformed into an entertainer’s space with an outdoor kitchen and the separate studio retreat dishes up more accommodation with an alfresco area and fireplace.
Additionally, the tennis court cabana is also set up with a kitchenette and wellness area.
Within the property there are established internal roads, cattle yards and multiple sheds to support livestock or equestrian pursuits.
Currently, the land is home to 35 cows, two bulls and 25 calves grazing across the lush fertile pastures.
The grounds features a potager vegetable garden, a woodland walk and a sculptural Celtic-inspired garden with a maze and two dams.
Listed with Anne Stone of McGrath Bowral, 100 Blencowes Lane, Wildes Meadow is on the market via a private treaty campaign with a price guide of $10 million.

Château d’Ansembourg and the adjacent Domaine du Presbytère d’Ansembourg are on the market for €37.5 Million
< 1 min
The listing comprises the ancient Château d’Ansembourg and the adjacent Domaine du Presbytère d’Ansembourg, which are within central Luxembourg’s Valley of the Seven Castles.
Château d’Ansembourg is one of the seven castles the valley is named for and is regarded as one of the country’s most important privately owned châteaus, according to Ignace Meuwissen, the founder of Whisper Auctions, who is handling the sale.
The castle sits at the heart of an almost 500-acre estate overlooking the picturesque village of Ansembourg, and records of its existence date to 1135.
Domaine du Presbytère d’Ansembourg, meanwhile, is a more than 110-acre estate comprising a former presbytery, a chapel dating to 1678, a historic school site, forests and meadows.
“Properties of this calibre rarely become available,” Meuwissen said.
“What is being offered today is far more than a chateau. The combination of nearly nine centuries of documented history, 245 hectares of land and a unique location in the Valley of the Seven Castles creates an opportunity that is exceptionally rare within Europe. Opportunities of this scale and heritage value are seldom brought to market and are often preserved within families for generations.”
The properties are being marketed through a “semi-off-market sales process,” with limited information and marketing materials publicly available, and access to the properties is reserved for a small number of pre-qualified candidates, according to Meuwissen.
Both estates have been privately occupied by the same owner, whom Meuwissen declined to identify. Mansion Global could not confirm who the seller is.
