Rock legend Jimmy Barnes and his wife, Jane, have listed their NSW Southern Highlands riverfront weekender, Riverbend, at Berrima with $2.5 million hopes.
The Barneses, who live in a Botany warehouse compound, just don’t make enough use of the sandstone house on 2,758 square metres, especially now that’s Jimmy’s back on the tour road.
The Berrima house cost the Cold Chisel frontman $1.85 million in 2008.
Gwen Meredith, the scriptwriter for Australia's longest-running and much-loved radio serial Blue Hills, once owned the property on the Wingecarribee River, a retreat from her Seaforth home, Braybrook.
It is located in a quiet setting just a short stroll from the historic village.
Listing agent Drew Lindsay at Drew Lindsay Bowral describes it as three solid sandstone pavilions linked by long covered verandas that jut over the river.
It features a renovated cook's kitchen, four bedrooms and bathrooms, a pool, a jetty, and stone walkways through established gardens.
Notably missing is a recording studio, a feature in Barnes' current Botany property and his earlier Southern Highland retreat.
