259 Barrabooka Road

Welcome to Rockleigh, in beautiful Tanja. It does not get better than this. Set in an elevated position, this stunning 53 hectares (130 acres) with a generous 4 bedroom main residence, offers a dual perspective: to the east, the expansive ocean views with extraordinary sunrises and big skies; in every other direction, a panoramic tapestry of Tanja's gently rolling hills. There is a specific, quiet confidence to this property. It's the sense of stewardship. Residences The Mediterranean inspired homestead has been thoughtfully designed, with light and beauty from every window. It is designed specifically for the landscape and for this coastal lifestyle; simple, tasteful yet understated, well built, low maintenance. This stylish, single level family home has been recently refreshed with a soft interior palette and new carpets. The heart of the home is the spacious open kitchen, dining and living area, which acts as a gallery for the ocean and horizon. This home has four light filled bedrooms, complemented by a sophisticated family study which is ideal for the modern professional or school aged children. Add two beautiful bathrooms and this is a testament to understated elegance. Whether it is a slow morning coffee as the sun rises, a long lunch with the landscape as your backdrop, or a quiet afternoon drink as the light softens, this home offers numerous all weather spaces to pause and enjoy. For guests or creative pursuits, a separate, fully approved and self contained one bedroom granny flat, flooded with northern light, provides a sophisticated and private retreat. The Land This is a property defined by stewardship. Meticulously maintained and highly productive, the rich soils and established pastures comfortably carry 35 cows and calves or 650 DSE. Resilience: Over 12,000 trees have been thoughtfully planted, creating a legacy of shelter, firewood, and a flourishing corridor for native wildlife. Infrastructure: Excellent fencing, multiple dams, and a substantial machinery shed underpin the property's operational ease. The farm is very productive for its size, due to the fertile soil, water security and sustainable pasture management. Pasture is a mix of kikuyu, rye and clover. Excellent cattle handling facilities which include cattle yards and crush area, original dairy and shearing space. The yards are conveniently located near the house and offer all weather access. * Average rainfall 917mm per annum * 10 paddocks, 3 dams and a reticulated water system from a 50,000L header tank for 6 stock troughs. * 240,000 litres combined water storage The Connection While the sense of privacy is absolute, Rockleigh remains deeply connected to the vibrant Tanja community and surroundings. Convenience: * The school bus stops at the gate, for the local primary and secondary schools, providing effortless transit for families. * The Tanja Primary School, local Tanja RFS and the Tanja Community Hall are all located at the start of Barrabooka Rd * 5 minutes to pristine Bithry Inlet or Middle Beach in Mimosa National Park * National Park unspoilt coastline from Tathra to Barragga Bay * A scenic 15-minute drive to the shores of Tathra and 25 minutes to the regional heart of Bega. It is a rare thing to find prime coastal land where the future has been so thoughtfully considered, and the stewardship so complete. Rockleigh offers that elusive Tanja balance: A stylish yet low maintenance home in an elevated position and ocean views, a manageable agricultural holding that feels like a private sanctuary yet it sits right in the heart of a vibrant and creative coastal community. It is, quite simply, breathtaking. Call Peta Burchell for more information or to arrange a private viewing
