1020 Nowra Road, Fitzroy Falls

'Mambrae' is a property of rare beauty and imagination, where architecture, landscape and nature have been brought together with incredible artistry.
Designed by the late and renowned Peter Fudge, the garden exhibits sublime beauty, scale and structure, creating an unparalleled lifestyle. Set across five private acres in the Southern Highlands, the master-built double-brick home is surrounded by a sequence of beautifully composed garden rooms, each with its own character, mood and sense of discovery.

The landscape begins with a waterlily-covered dam and Australian garden before unfolding through the silver garden, reading garden, reflection pond, Manchurian pear walk, French garden, sunken garden and birch terrace. Elsewhere, an olive garden, productive vegetable garden and flower garden bring colour, texture and fragrance to the grounds.

A birch grove and cricket field lead towards a secret garden, while the eco-filtered natural swimming pond and picnic lawn connect with the fruit-tree walk. At the far end of the property, a magnificent one-acre Pin Oak forest creates an unforgettable spring spectacle, with masses of bluebells carpeting the ground beneath the trees.

Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, spotted gum floors and timber detailing bring warmth and presence, centred around an internal courtyard with zinc fountain. Multiple sets of French doors create a seamless physical and visual connection to the outdoors, while the wide return verandah, fabulous outdoor entertaining area, self-contained studio and golf practice lawn complete this living jewel of the Highlands.
