Heaven on earth – a timeless estate
Imagine a place that feels like heaven on earth; a moment in time, a pause, a heartbeat, a secluded rendezvous where family gathers, friendships deepen and the golden threads of life entwine. Fernbank Farm is proudly presented by McGrath, in association with Knight Frank and Bayleys, and offered for sale for the first time in almost forty years. Established in 1904, Fernbank stands as one of the Central Coast's most elegant and authentically restored country estates. Once a working dairy, its provenance invites you to become the next custodian of a legacy that stretches more than a century. Enhanced by award winning gardens, sweeping lawns, a shimmering sandstone-edged lake and the breathtaking 27 metre Wisteria Arbour, Fernbank's essence is serenity, heritage and endless possibility. Whether envisioned as an exclusive venue, private country residence, multi-generational retreat, or a base for equine pursuits, it promises refinement, privacy and scope. Across its 120 year history, the estate has evolved with purpose: home to the Santosa Clydesdale Stud, a setting for gatherings and garden parties, a place where free-range chickens roamed citrus orchards and produce once travelled to market by bullock dray via the Woodbury Park Inn. Fernbank has long been a home of the gentry, a venue for community dinners, garden parties and, during wartime, a billet for recovering soldiers seeking peace in the valley. The estate's 25 acres of gently undulating country, two substantial residences, extensive event approvals, significant infrastructure, exceptional water security and thoughtfully curated gardens create a property of rare versatility and unmatched character. Simply heaven on earth, Fernbank offers a timeless lifestyle with modern functionality and extraordinary scope for its next custodian.
