"Overberg" - A Rare High-Country Sanctuary of Grand Estate Living and Natural Beauty

A true fauna and flora paradise, "Overberg" has been meticulously nurtured and beautifully maintained by its owners for more than 30 years. Situated in the tightly held Ravensbourne high country, this remarkable estate stands as a testament to the vendors' deep passion for nature, enhanced through the planting of over 1,000 carefully selected trees. These include an impressive collection of deciduous and exotic species such as Wollemi Pines, Oaks, and Red Cedars, along with many more too numerous to list - all thoughtfully established to create a breathtaking 105-acre sanctuary.

A standout feature of the property is the privately held 55-acre Douglas Hockly Nature Refuge, an extraordinary haven for native flora and fauna. This pristine environment supports a rich diversity of wildlife and is home to more than 105 recorded bird species, offering an idyllic retreat for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful lifestyle immersed in natural beauty.

Adding further value and ecological significance, the running Ballard Creek flows through the centre of the property, providing natural water security and a vital year-round water source for wildlife, enhancing both the landscape and the biodiversity of the estate.

Completing the sense of arrival, the striking "Autumn Avenue" forms a central driveway leading to the grand five-bedroom estate residence, beautifully framed by a sweeping, tree-lined approach - delivering a truly memorable introduction to this exceptional holding.
