Located on the escarpment between Berry and Kangaroo Valley, ‘Shamba’ is an outstanding rural retreat that offers a country resort like experience less than two hours from Sydney. With stunning views up Kangaroo Valley this beautiful 120 acre rural estate includes equestrian facilities, its own secluded subtropical rainforest with 30m waterfall, and ample accommodation for all. ‘Shamba’ is a stunning rural sanctuary that could as easily make a sensational family country acreage as it would a boutique bed and breakfast .

Nestled into the rolling hills of Kangaroo Valley, ‘Shamba’ offers something for everyone, with acres of landscaped gardens and manicured grounds providing ample places to take in the spectacular valley and escarpment views. The resort like facilities include a heated salt water swimming pool with slide, championship hard-court tennis court, a short course motor-cross bike track and ample room for equestrian pursuits.

Unique to the property is a secluded rainforest track that ambles along one of the permanent creeks, through the subtropical rainforest of giant red cedar and ferns to a spectacular 30m waterfall. Matching the scale and grandeur of the grounds, the four bedroom residence has been perfectly positioned to capture the sweeping arc of the sun and the sensational district views.

With cathedral ceilings featuring exposed timber beams, the generous living areas flow around feature open fireplaces, providing an interconnected series of spaces that also maintain their own distinct character and feel. Cedar french doors and windows open out onto a long covered verandah that looks out over the valley, linking the guest wing at one end with the pool and alfresco dining areas at the other.

Perfect for entertaining guests and friends, the large central timber kitchen features bespoke cabinets, solid timber benches and top of the range appliances, and opens out directly to views and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas.

Detail features around the home also include under-floor heating throughout, and mechanised external blinds that automatically unroll with the afternoon sun before disappearing with the dusk. Further accommodation includes a home office, teenager’s retreat, gymnasium, copious storage, and a separate guest pavilion with bedroom, bathroom and sitting area. ‘Shamba’ also offers an impressive array of improvements, including a 30 x 70m grass horse riding arena with full timber railing surround.

Supporting this is a horse stable complex comprising two separate stables with automatic watering, a feed/tack room, float bay, and fenced horse paddocks, all with automatic watering. With two creeks running through the property, one spring fed, there is ample backup for the 60,000 litres of rainwater storage.

Other features of the property include a spring fed dam, an American style barn and machinery shed near the main house, fully paved driveway access, and a biolitics septic system. Kangaroo Valley is considered one of New South Wales’ most beautiful country areas, with a rich colonial history and many local natural features. Located less than two hours from Sydney, ‘Shamba’ is located minutes from many attractions including the quaint township of Kangaroo Valley, the historic Berry township, Seven Mile Beach, beautiful Jervis Bay or the wilderness of Morton National Park

The Shoalhaven area is also gaining a strong reputation as an emerging cultural destination and offers a plethora of gourmet eating spots, historic pubs, wineries, picturesque bushwalks and stunning pristine beaches.
