It’s hard to believe that this classic country farmhouse was only recently completed

Many of us dream of a country estate without missing out on the conveniences of the city. At 17 Heritage Drive, Bundanoon, it is all on offer on a luxury property ideal for weekend parties, working from home or just escaping from the trappings of city living.
The five-bedroom property in the Southern Highlands has been designed to separate living and sleeping quarters while perfectly capturing the natural light, cross breezes and views. An open plan living area is at the centre of this recently completed house, characterised by exposed recycled ironbark beams, dormer windows and a sandstone fireplace constructed from local stone.
The Shaker style kitchen is a cook’s delight, with a generous island bench finished in Caesarstone and abundant storage which extends into the butler’s kitchen.
Bi-fold doors fold back to draw guests outside onto the expansive deck to enhance enjoyment of the 4000sqm property.
For those with a young family or in need of a quiet place to work, a secondary private living area would be ideal as a home office, playroom or home theatre environment.
Part of The Yards at Bundanoon, this is one of the first homes to be completed on the estate, set to become one of the most desirable addresses in the Southern Highlands.

Scheduled auctions fall to winter levels as vendors hold back on going to market

Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.
The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.
With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.
