Sitting proudly on an 8169 sqm block in the prestigious Three Oaks Estate, 18 Hazelton Drive, Moss Vale is a pristine, newly-built five-bedroom, four-bathroom home straight out of a dream.
Blending elegance and functionality in a serene rural setting, “Shale Woodlands” is an exceptional property offering a luxurious lifestyle across a meticulously designed and built residence and an impressive barn studio.
“The reaction from people visiting the property in person is always the same – ‘Wow,'” Ray White Bowral agent Claire Douch says.
“People who’ve come through comment on how the photos don’t do it justice – it’s just so grand and bright, it has to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated.”
Encased in a crisp white and pale stone aesthetic with a pitched roof, the open-plan layout of the main residence is perfect for modern living. It offers expansive living areas featuring picture windows and built-in day beds, inviting you to relax and take in the breathtaking views out to the Gibraltar.
“The builder wanted a highlander feel throughout the property – a homey sort of elegance. The high pitched ceilings, the gables and the different textures bring warmth into every corner,” Claire says.
“In keeping with that, he has built an enormous barn instead of the traditional garage for extra space and storage, and it’s just one feature that sets this property apart.”
In a home rich in superlatives, the heart is the stunning kitchen, equipped with a huge entertainer’s main island bench, a butler’s pantry and premium Smeg appliances.
This delightful kitchen seamlessly flows into the lounge area. Adorned with an impressive double-sided stone fireplace and raked exposed ceilings, it is a bright and yawning space of grandeur.
The master bedroom is a true retreat. With dual basins and an enormous tub, its stunning ensuite provides a haven of relaxation after a long day. Four additional bedrooms – two with their own ensuite – ensure ample space and privacy for a growing family and guests.
Characterised by expert craftsmanship, the home features custom-made plantation shutters, top-of-the-line Blackbutt vinyl flooring, exposed feature trusses made from mixed recycled timber and new improved silica-free Calacatta gold stone benchtops.
“Part of the delight of this home is in the detail. One of the timber trusses is a repurposed telegraph pole from Bundanoon,” Claire says.
The home is fitted with advanced technology including three instantaneous Rinnai B26 hot water systems, two smart reverse cycle air conditioning systems and a split system in the studio. Security, while optional, is included here with a DMSS camera system featuring four cameras, all smartphone compatible.
More practical considerations are more than an afterthought in this home, which includes a spacious mudroom, an enormous laundry and a double garage with automatic doors, providing ample space for vehicles and storage.
Above the barn-style double garage is a huge double-storey area ideal for additional living space or indulging hobbies. The fifth bedroom is located upstairs in this section with a fully equipped ensuite bathroom, elevated views and four living spaces, making it ideal for multigenerational living or as a potential revenue stream for Airbnb subject to council approval. Downstairs directly behind the garage is another living area with a wet bar, fridge space and cupboards.
But the drawcards of this grandiose property are not limited to the interiors, with outdoor spaces catering to a variety of experiences in the great outdoors.
Multiple alfresco areas and an outdoor firepit create an outdoor entertainer’s paradise. The rear patio can be enclosed with electric blinds, offering a versatile space for year-round enjoyment.
Park rail fencing fully secures the yard, which showcases impressive landscaping featuring sandstone blocks, travertine external tiling and native plants including magnolias, maples, olive trees and citrus trees. There are even two alpacas included with the property.
The garden shed and electric gates with remote and entry pin code access add to the convenience and security of this remarkable home.
The property is located in the heart of the Southern Highlands with the vibrant Moss Vale town centre a short drive away. It also has easy access to the Hume Freeway north and south, only 90 minutes from Sydney, under two hours to Canberra and less than an hour to the unspoilt beaches of Wollongong, Kiama and the picturesque South Coast.
Between the superior build and location, Claire says it’s a rare opportunity to live the Highland dream.
“In a new enclave of one-acre lots, this is the only two-acre lot. An acreage this close to town, where the home is brand new – you never get that in the Highlands,” she says.
