Property Overview

This absolutely stunning property offers a home built with solid craftsmanship and natural materials, + 3 studios and 2 sheds. This unique gem is set on half an acre of land with beautifully landscaped organic gardens and stunning panoramic views towards grassland and rolling hills. With Village zoning creating the opportunity for business and commercial use the possibilities are endless and all within an easy 25 minute commute to Canberra and Goulburn.

A private semi-circle driveway lined with mature trees sets the front garden back from the road and creates a sense that you have arrived somewhere very special. Stepping out of your car you are instantly taken away from the stresses of the world to your own peaceful oasis with the sound of birds chirping and the smell of fresh flowers blooming in the garden.

The old post office with its historic charm takes you back in time and is located on the private driveway with access away from the homestead and would make an ideal shopfront, office, cafe, studio or use as an additional bedroom. The main house is accessed through a secret garden like entrance with an arch of foliage creating a sense of intrigue and delight that leads down a stepping stone path to the renovated farmhouse built in the 1800’s. It offers artistic and stunning old world charm with modern conveniences and features an eye catching kitchen with hand-made Moorish tiles, recycled Sydney blue gum and jarrah wood bench tops, ample storage and a light-filled dining/sunroom. A large Ilve stove and Miele dishwasher make cooking and entertaining a delight.

A large spacious deck perfect for soaking up the views leads to lawns with mature trees framing the magnificent view. The property backs on to farmland giving the impression the lawns extend as far as the eye can see, creating the most incredible panoramic view across open grassy plains and rolling hills where horses can be seen galloping in the distance. You feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere all while having the convenience of small town living less than half an hour to Canberra.

Two expansive light and airy studios with large windows are located on the property each with views out to the beautiful gardens and lawns, plus 2 sheds ensuring plenty of room for storage. This property has great potential for business as well as being a comfortable and beautiful home. It has RU5 Village zoning and could be used as a B & B, shopfront or artist studio; the possibilities are endless with a variety of buildings and ample parking. It has previously been used as the Post Office and Commonwealth Bank, the Telephone Exchange, pottery and weaving studios, craft shop and writer’s retreat. Brookdale offers a world of possibilities with easy access to major centres, and just over 2 hours to the airport in Sydney.

Brookdale has total privacy with established organic gardens, fruit trees and raised vegetable beds with a permanent bore providing water allowing this property to be a lush oasis even during dry times. There are 3 separate garden areas ensuring plenty of room for everyone indoors and out. Wisteria, lilacs, clematis, grapes, roses, herbs, and lots of spring bulbs flourish along with apples, nectarines and peach trees which produced over 100 kgs of sweet juicy fruit last year.


Collector village is located between Canberra and Goulburn in NSW and is famous for its autumn Pumpkin Festival.
