Boutique residential development under construction in Bowral

Property developer Birdy is currently constructing a residential project in Sydney’s Southern Highlands. 

The subsidiary of Australian builders, Tribeca, will construct a collection of just four pavilion residences, with the project tipped to attract attention from buyers looking for a low-maintenance home that offers privacy. 

Located in Elmsdale at 56 Kangaloon Road in Bowral, each of the pavilions will comprise three-bedrooms, three-bathrooms and a double garage, with considered landscaped gardens in their surrounds. 

Knight Frank Agent, Nathan Berlyn is marketing the residences, which are priced from $2.5 million to $2.7 million, saying the homes would appeal largely to downsizers looking for freestanding single-level homes offering great internal proportions, a low maintenance yard, within a boutique complex, all just minutes from Bowral’s town centre. 

“One of the biggest draw cards for buyers in the area is the location of Elmsdale in the village of Bowral, with easy access to a huge range of cafes, restaurants and shops,” he said.

“Elmsdale also benefits from being only minutes away from many nature walks, national parks, historic villages, award winning wineries and beautiful gardens that are ever-changing through the seasons.

Berlyn said the Southern Highlands had seen significant demand during and post COVID from Sydney-based buyers.

“We are still seeing strong demand across multiple projects, with Sydney buyers from affluent areas seeking a weekend retreat or eventual retirement home in Bowral,” he said.

“This, combined with the demand from local downsizers coming off larger acreage lots, is creating strong interest in a well-designed project such as Elmsdale.”

Designed by Bowral-based Tziallas Architects, the homes will span from 214.5 sqm to 233.5 sqm, with land sizes ranging from 387 sqm to 407 sqm. 

The residences will feature two living rooms which connect to a garden terrace with an entertainer’s deck, as well as an entry hallway with a built-in window seat. 

Josiah Sciascia of Birdy said space, light and laidback luxury characterised the future-proofed pavilions in Elmsdale, which have been designed with quality finished for a low maintenance lifestyle. 

“The residences are the epitome of Southern Highlands life,” he said. 

“Vaulted ceilings, clean lines and easy flow floorplans come together to create a tranquil and inviting home for relaxing and entertaining.” 

Under floor heating and heated towel rails will also be incorporated, in addition to a butler’s pantry, a gas fireplace, wall panelling and floor-to-ceiling windows.  

“Each residence is individually designed to incorporate understated opulent materials including recycled brick, modern roof profiles, vertical v-groove cladding and contemporary landscaping for a low-maintenance lifestyle,” Sciascia said. 

“They are also future-proofed for accessibility. Each residence is designed with generous space in the kitchen, master bedroom and main bathroom with large spacious hallways and flat entrance thresholds for level access.”

“Expansive double-glazed windows and doors connect each residence to the surrounding gardens providing an immediate connection to nature.”

Construction on the homes is slated for completion by the first half of this year.
