McGrath Southern Highlands

About McGrath Southern HighlandsMcGrath expands outside its core region to the NSW Southern HighlandsMcGrath Estate Agents Southern Highlands has been established since April of 2009 when it merged with long- standing local agency Bong Bong Real Estate. One of the first offices outside of McGrath's traditional core selling areas of Sydney and the NSW Central Coast, it was a key strategic move in McGrath's ongoing roll-out of its premium national franchise network.“The Southern Highlands is among the most beautiful and desirable lifestyle locations in Australia, and it’s definitely one of my favourite places in the world,” John McGrath, Chief Executive of McGrath Estate Agents said.“It has long been a hot spot for Sydney executives and their weekenders, and it is increasingly attracting retirees who want that peaceful country life with the benefit of being just a 90-minute drive from their Sydney-based families and CBD recreational facilities, such as the major theatres, museums, galleries and Sydney Harbour.”The region offers a range of properties, from charming country workers’ cottages built in the late 1800s to magnificent acreage estates. Prices range from the first home buyer level around $700,000 into the millions for large estates on several hectares.The rolling green hills around Kangaloon and Wildes Meadow are similar to the English countryside. Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale are the retail centres for the region, which includes Exeter and Bundanoon to the south; Wildes Meadow, Burrawang and Robertson to the east; and Colo Vale and Hill Top to the north. Local education facilities include Frensham College, Tudor House, Oxley College and Chevalier College.Mr McGrath said the Southern Highlands area had grown enormously over the past decade and there was now a need for a far more structured and professional approach to real estate sales in the area.
