Home of the week: Wake up to woodland serenity in Joadja

The expansive countryside forms the stunning backdrop to this captivating and well-designed homestead.

The residence has all the perks of a rural lifestyle with room to stretch and surrounding green pastures, while less than 30 minutes to the charming shops of Bowral and Mittagong and 2 hours to Canberra.

Crispy white and light-filled formal and informal living areas offer the perfect spaces to take in the panoramic views of the valley and beyond through the large picture windows.

In the cooler months, enjoy the warmth of a crackling wood fire to keep you cosy and add to the ambience of the woodland surroundings.

Entertaining family and friends is a breeze with ample space and the kitchen the heart of the home, complete with a large island bench for relaxed dining or to show off your culinary skills.

A large undercover outdoor area with second fire place and alfresco kitchen offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow and overlooks the solar-heated in-ground swimming pool.

There are also natural, tranquil waterways nearby that offer the opportunity for a splash in the warmer months, as well as plenty of trails for the adventurous to explore.
