Tathra: An Architecturally Designed Country Resort and Equestrian Estate on 30 Acres

Price is $2,600,000.00 Australian Dollars

Tathra is more than just a property; it is an exceptional, self-sufficient lifestyle estate offering a unique blend of architectural grandeur, world-class equestrian facilities, and multi-dwelling flexibility, all set within approximately 30 acres of serene, gently undulating Victorian countryside. Located at 3017 Broadford-Flowerdale Road, Flowerdale, this retreat is masterfully positioned in the picturesque 'Valley of a Thousand Hills,' providing unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding bushland and productive farmland. With four distinct dwellings, extensive infrastructure, and a design rooted in luxury and sustainability, Tathra represents a rare opportunity for a multigenerational family, a high-end country resort venture, or a dedicated equestrian pursuit.

The Landmark Main Homestead: A Masterpiece of Design

The heart of the estate is the expansive, 50-square homestead, a true landmark designed by acclaimed Victorian architect Robert Marshall. This stately residence is a study in spacious elegance, boasting three luxurious bedrooms, each featuring its own porcelain-tiled ensuite and spacious walk-in robe—a standard of comfort and privacy rarely matched. The internal architecture is simply awe-inspiring, defined by dramatic 3-meter ceilings throughout and an immense main living room that showcases soaring King George timber trusses, towering structural pillars, and breathtaking 6-meter clerestory windows that flood the space with natural light.

The homestead’s luxurious features are evident in every detail, from the reclaimed spotted gum floorboards and vaulted ceilings to the contemporary conveniences like a professional butler’s pantry and premium kitchen appliances. Comfort is paramount, provided by high-end amenities such as Jetmaster gas heating in the dining room and a cozy Canadian Alderlea wood fireplace in the family room. Furthermore, the home is equipped with retro-fitted double-glazed windows and internal and external blinds that are operated by remote control. A fully equipped on-site gymnasium caters to wellness needs, while a state-of-the-art Zip system delivers instant boiled and chilled water. The external aesthetic is completed by 2.5-meter wrap-around verandas that frame the spectacular views.

World-Class Equestrian and Lifestyle Amenities

Beyond the main residence, Tathra is a fully equipped equestrian and lifestyle haven. The property boasts a magnificent Olympic-size dressage arena featuring a premium Martin Collins surface and integrated lighting, making it ideal for professional training or competition. The operational infrastructure includes extensive shedding, stables, and yards, designed to support significant farming or horse breeding activities.

The recreational facilities are equally impressive, centered around a stunning 12m x 3m solar-heated swimming pool accompanied by a substantial alfresco area and a built-in 6-person spa. The main home’s outdoor entertaining space features a beautiful courtyard with 3-meter oak doors opening to a brick-paved outdoor kitchen area complete with a pizza oven and tranquil pond. Supporting the self-sufficient ethos of the property are an established orchard and vegetable gardens with a multizone watering system, a 6m x 4m greenhouse, a freestanding sunroom, and a 5m x 5m pergola.

Comprehensive Infrastructure and Four Unique Dwellings

Tathra’s infrastructure is built for ultimate self-reliance and peace of mind. The estate is powered by a significant 14.2 kW solar system and features a 13 kVA automatic backup generator. Security is managed by a CCTV system, while water supply is robust, sourced from a bore water system supplementing the three on-site dams and numerous rainwater tanks. Crucially, the home is safeguarded by a 7-point external fire sprinkler system. The entire 30-acre property is fully fenced with an efficient internal laneway system linking the paddocks, each supplied with water access.

In addition to the main homestead, the property features three unique secondary accommodations, perfect for extended family, guest lodging, or lucrative short-term rentals:
