Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined drive, where sunlight filters through the leaves and birdsong leads the way, 149A Moss Vale Road, Kangaroo Valley unfolds across 4.5 acres of river-fronted land.
Named Rivermist — an ode to the morning mists that rise off the water and drift across its paddocks — this serene retreat offers rare privacy, space and timeless natural beauty.
This architect-designed residence offers six generously sized bedrooms, each complete with its own private ensuite, offering the ultimate comfort and privacy that has made it a hit on the short let market.
“This property has been a fantastic investment for the owner, who has had it listed in Airbnb,” Raine & Horne Southern Highlands’ Cameron Powell says.
“Having each bedroom ensuited makes it ideal for that market — especially in a beautiful place like Kangaroo Valley, which attracts a lot of weddings, events, family getaways and tourism.
“Being literally walking distance to the village, with its pub, general store and cafes, the property is perfectly situated for prime convenience, but the size and layout provide excellent privacy.”
Ideal as a peaceful family sanctuary, a premium holiday rental, or a flexible combination of both, the home itself is characterised by distinctive vaulted ceilings, multiple living spaces and ubiquitous windows capturing the natural surrounds.
“The north-facing home itself is a pleasure to be in — sun streams in all morning,” Cameron says.
One of its greatest assets is the flowing open-plan living space that flows seamlessly through bi-fold doors to a vast entertainer’s deck.
It joins other outdoor entertainment zones, including a barbecue area and beautifully landscaped gardens, to establish a true entertainer’s paradise.
“Rivermist has effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining is at its core, making it the perfect backdrop for festive celebrations, milestone occasions or large gatherings with family and friends,” Cameron says.
“From that deck stretching the entire length of the property, you get panoramic views of the escarpment and mountains. I can picture the new owners or their guests enjoying a cuppa or a glass of wine in that spot, which is well designed for morning, lunch and dinner.”
Entertainment is a breeze inside as well, thanks to a gourmet chef’s kitchen and multiple dining spaces.
The property also boasts fully fenced paddocks, two dams, river frontage and a two-bay shed with a workshop and three-phase power, offering endless opportunities from hobby farming to future development. Town water and sewer connections pair this with modern conveniences.
“In those lush paddocks the owners have kept alpacas, and its frontage on Kangaroo Valley River means you can go fishing or kayaking, and the surrounding acreage opens it up to other outdoor pursuits,” Cameron says.
“It’s one of those properties that offer so much, including an idyllic rural lifestyle.”
