80 Burnhams Lane

Positioned in the rolling pastoral landscape of Exeter, one of the Southern Highlands' most sought-after villages, 80 Burnhams Lane is a rare and compelling lifestyle holding. This distinguished 118-acre estate combines the craftsmanship of an award-winning builder with the practicality of a working rural property - delivering a home that is as beautiful as it is functional. Designed and built by renowned local builder Doug Fry - a 25-year Master Builders Award winner - the residence reflects a standard of workmanship seldom seen. Tasmanian oak joinery, decorative cornices, Miele appliances, and stone benchtops are hallmarks of the exceptional quality throughout. Every detail has been considered, and every finish has been chosen to last. The Residence: Expansive yet intimate, the main residence offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, across a thoughtfully designed single-level floor plan. Three bathrooms - including a master bathroom with underfloor heating - and five toilets throughout ensure seamless comfort for families of all sizes. The heart of the home is an outstanding kitchen featuring custom Tasmanian oak cabinetry, premium stone benchtops, and a full suite of Miele appliances - a serious cook's kitchen with pastoral views as the backdrop. A ducted vacuum system adds everyday practicality. Year-round comfort is assured with gas ducted heating and cooling throughout, supplemented by underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Smart glass windows bring in natural light while managing glare and heat. Decorative cornices and carefully considered joinery throughout speak to the craftsmanship that defines this home. The northern-facing alfresco pergola - complete with in-roof heating - is the natural hub for entertaining, capturing all-day sunshine and framing sweeping views across the paddocks. Whether hosting a summer gathering or a quiet winter evening, this space delivers effortlessly. Self-Contained Guest Accommodation: A fully self-contained one-bedroom granny flat with its own private entrance, kitchenette, and bathroom provides outstanding versatility. Whether accommodating extended family, teenage children, or operating as a short-stay rental, this space adds genuine flexibility and potential income to the property. Sustainability & Infrastructure: This estate has been thoughtfully upgraded for energy independence and long-term sustainability. A 40-panel solar array (36 panels on the house shed, 4 in the front paddock) feeds two 20kVA batteries, significantly reducing grid reliance. Water security is exceptional: a 100,000-litre rainwater tank at the house, a further 75,000-litre tank to the rear, and access to a 192-metre bore - ensure supply regardless of season. An Enviro-cycle septic system handles waste sustainably. The Land - 118 Acres: The property is comprehensively set up for productive use, with ten paddocks, two dams, a creek paddock, and dedicated laneways providing access throughout. All paddocks are equipped with water troughs connected via 32mm poly pipe reticulation.
