"Sacred" 220 acre space in Jamberoo advertised for entrepreneurial buyers

Located on Lees Road, Robertson, just off of Jamberoo Mountain Road, is Temenos. The name, which means “sacred space”, is apt for this 220 acre offering with multiple uses that the listing believes an entrepreneur will snap up.

The multi-use site has views of the ocean, lake and escarpment from Botany Bay to Shellharbour.

It offers two irrigation licences, six natural springs on the property, a mineral water licence and a DA for a water bottling facility on the site. It also mentions that since July 2011 the government is not issuing any more water licences. The water has just 68 Total Dissolved Solids and no coliforms, bacteria, arsenic, nitrates, suphates, which is said to be a rarity.

The site also has tourism opportunities, with the start of the historic Butter Track beginning at the property’s northern end. Jamberoo was home to Australia’s first butter co-operative factory, which opened in 1884.

The land, 750 metres above sea level, is located near six national parks and six waterfalls, and the suggestion is for eco-cabins or glamourised camping. The site comes with an American barn and hut.

The site could also be used for potato growing, truffles and as grazing land, with red basalt soil striking across the property.

On the market with McGrath, Bowral, it is asking for expressions for interest by close 5pm 17 April, with a price guide of over $4.5 million.

Meanwhile, 93 acre Misty Ridge Farm is listed for $2,950,000 at 170 Lees Road (pictured below). The cattle grazing, horse-appropriate property includes 11 paddocks, eight dams and sheds for farming and livestock use. Accommodation includes two houses, with six-bedrooms and two-bathrooms in total, with wood fires, solar power and air conditioning, as well as a six car space car port. There is also a 12 by six metre swimming pool.
