About this property

Argyle Farm - Southern Highlands Escape

Argyle Farm is a charming country farmhouse set on 103 acres with distant views of the escarpment. It is located only a short distance from Exeter village and Bundanoon. Ideally only a 90 minute drive from Sydney.

The property is a working farm breeding Angus & Speckle Park beef cattle and Wiltipol sheep. Argyle Farm produces pure grass fed beef and lamb supplying Craig Cook's Prime Quality Meats in Sydney. The farm also features a hazelnut orchard and olive grove. Enjoy a relaxing stroll through treelined paddocks and laneways offering spectacular views across the Southern Highlands.

The Tuscan inspired farmhouse was designed and constructed by the late Graham Cole who was the founder of the Cole Classic Ocean Swim Event in 1982. Graham wrote: ''The event is not a race but a challenge to all persons to stretch themselves in body and mind." The Sydney Morning Herald Cole Classic Ocean Swim event still runs today.

The farmhouse offers light-filled open plan living with french doors opening onto a private garden courtyard. Great for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

The brand new kitchen is fully equipped with Miele appliances including a full steam oven, dishwasher, coffee machine and breakfast area. The kitchen opens onto a small vegetable garden and BBQ area.

The spacious living/dining area includes an open fireplace, floor heating, TV and DVD player.

The house consists of 3 bedrooms (1 upstairs and 2 downstairs) both with shared access to ensuite bathrooms. All bedrooms have adequate storage. Bedlinen and towels are provided.

Argyle Farm offers quality and comfortable accommodation for up to 6 people.

Ideally suited for families who are looking for a weekend escape with the enjoyment of full size tennis court and basketball hoop

Bedding configuration:

Bedroom 1 (downstairs) - Queen size bed
Bedroom 2 (downstairs) - 2 single beds
Bedroom 3 (upstairs) - 2 single beds


Argyle Farm is an ideal base to explore the Southern Highlands.

A great weekend escape from the city life.

Ideally located close to wineries and surrounding towns and villages

Close to Morton National Park which offers a wide range of recreational opportunities (bushwalking, camping, cycling, photography), with numerous scenic walks, breathtaking views, scenic waterfalls, gorges, sandstone plateaux, and the nocturnal delights of the Glow Worm Glen to discover. Bundanoon is home to the "Highland Fling" mountain bike event in early November.

Only a short distance to local activities including golf, horse riding, berry picking and the famous Bradman Museum in Bowral.

Explore the local markets, antiques stores and restaurants.

Beautiful country retreat
Beautiful property in a peaceful and quiet location with great views. We had 4 adults and 2 children in our group and there was plenty of space. The house is well equipped with everything we could possibly need and lots of thoughtful touches. The hosts are lovely and communication easy. We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return one day.
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019

A Great Southern Highlands Stay
We were a group of 3 couples and stayed for 2 nights at Argyle Farm while we attended a family wedding in Exeter. The setting and facilities were excellent and it was unfortunate we didn't have more time to enjoy at the farm. We'll go back again!
