Overview
348 Willow Forest Road, Braidwood
This remarkable property, known as 'Cronulla', is a historic and productive rural holding spanning approximately 88 hectares (217.45 acres) located in the picturesque district of Braidwood. Established between 1838 and 1841 by Colonial MacKenzie as a working farm, the estate retains the quiet grandeur of its heritage, most notably through the original homestead's striking silhouette that stands prominently above the rolling hills, symbolizing the farm's early origins.
Positioned with a beautiful northeast aspect, the property offers sweeping views across gently undulating pastures and the valley beyond, creating an open, elevated, and deeply peaceful environment that is rare to find. The majority of the land is cleared and maintained as grazing country, featuring rich alluvial basalt soils that have been nurtured through decades of regular fertilising and seeding, ensuring productive and fertile grounds.
The terrain consists of gently rolling hills that provide natural movement across the property, complemented by thoughtfully retained pockets of shelter trees. These trees not only protect livestock but also enhance the character and aesthetic appeal of the landscape. The carrying capacity of the land is estimated between 20 to 30 cows, calves, and weaners, depending on seasonal conditions.
Held within the same family for three generations, this property embodies a deep sense of heritage and care. The current custodians are seeking a new owner who will continue the property's story, with potential opportunities to restore the original homestead to its former glory.
Infrastructure on the property includes an expansive machinery shed measuring 21 meters by 25 meters, capable of housing large-scale farm equipment such as graders, tractors, and multiple vehicles. There is also a truck back-up loading ramp designed for efficient unloading of machinery and stock. Additionally, a large open bay hay shed measuring 18 meters by 16 meters provides ample capacity for seasonal storage. The property benefits from good boundary fencing throughout.
Water security is well established with the spring-fed Titringo Creek forming the northeast boundary of the property. Furthermore, there are three spring-fed dams on the land, ensuring a reliable year-round water supply for livestock and agricultural needs.
The location offers a balance of seclusion and convenience, situated just 3 kilometers from the iconic Nerriga Pub. It is approximately 50 minutes from Nowra and the Jervis Bay coastline, 40 minutes from Braidwood, 60 minutes from Goulburn, and about 1.5 hours from Wollongong and Canberra. Sydney is accessible within approximately 2.5 hours.
Properties of this scale, with such rich history and productive capacity, rarely come to market. Whether you are seeking a working farm, a restoration project with heritage charm, or a private rural retreat, this land presents a unique canvas filled with possibilities. This is an exceptional opportunity to become the next custodian of a truly remarkable piece of Nerriga's rural heritage.
