Valentine’s Day properties to swoon over

If real estate is your love language, here are few of the most romantic property listings on the market this Valentine’s Day.

From whimsical gardens to charming character and your own personal chateau, these are the homes that even cupid’s arrow won’t want to miss.

32 Lowanna Street, Braddon ACT

Cherished by the same family for four decades, this enchanting two-storey Braddon duplex could be love at first sight.

Beyond the classic façade, verdant gardens, cosy fireplace and timber sash windows, is a backyard that will steal your heart.

Dappled light filters through a magnificent Golden Elm tree creating a protected and private space, while the charming glasshouse offers a relaxing retreat or potting shed for green thumbs – making you feel a world away from the city bounds.

Stephen Bunday, from LJ Hooker Dickson, is marketing the property, which will go to auction on March 8 at 1.30pm.

F279a Princes Highway, Burrill Lake, NSW

If budget is no object, give your loved one their very own French provincial chateau on the South Coast of New South Wales this Valentine’s Day.

Chateau Morrow is an 8ha private estate sandwiched between a tranquil national park and Wairo Beach that exudes luxury, class and elegance.

The estate’s maple tree lined driveway, manicured gardens and stunning water feature set the scene for this spectacular lifestyle residence, which offers 800sqm of luxe living including seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and both formal and informal spaces.

No stranger to the finer things in life, the sprawling property features a four-car garage, heated swimming pool and spa, stables, billiard room and nine-hole bush golf course, plus olive trees, a small dam and vegetable gardens.

There is a self-contained private wing with two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and balcony overlooking the pool, as well as caretaker’s accommodation.

Robert Granger, from Raine & Horne Mollymook Milton, is managing the sale of the property, which has been held in the same family for more than three decades.

63 Leichhardt Street, Kingston, ACT

From its white climbing roses, to the manicured hedging, flowering camelias and mature trees, this Kingston home is a stunner.

Constructed in 1935, the charming two bedroom cottage at 63 Leichhardt Street has been finished in a trowel swept stucco, described by selling agent Holly Komorowski, from Home.byHolly, as akin to a rustic textured buttercream cake.

Add to the mix the vintage treasures of a clawfoot bath, the original fireplace with Victorian tiled hearth and timber mantle, and classic French doors – and you have a match made in heaven.

7 Minnows Drive, Bowral NSW

Fall in love with the country charm of the rolling hills, rustic luxury and prime riverfront position of 7 Minnows Drive, Bowral.

Affectionately known as Little Minnows, the 47ha landholding boasts an architecturally designed home by Richard Rowe with rustic hardwood timbers that were once part of an old railway bridge in Bungendore, a working orchard of 120 trees, vineyard and lush grazing country.

Just five minutes’ drive from the Bowral township and 90 minutes to Sydney, the four bedroom, three bathroom home sits amid a stunning garden with dry stone walls and lush lawns, which gently slopes down to the Wingecarribee River.

Romanticise in the loft-style space as a games room, art studio or home office, or enjoy the peacefulness of alfresco areas, including the picturesque courtyard and timber deck veranda.

Gene Fairbanks from Ray White Bowral is managing the sale, in conjunction with Richard Royle at Forbes Global Properties.
