Bilpin has long lured week-enders with apple pie and misty mountain views, but a new listing at 92 Powells Road takes the area’s lifestyle offering up several notches. Woodmere - a 40-hectare (99 acres) holding - couples productive land with a headline-grabbing piece of accommodation: a stainless-steel railway carriage converted into a two-bedroom guest suite with floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
The property is being marketed by McGrath Hawkesbury with a guide of $3 million–$3.3 million and its first public inspection set for Saturday 5 July.
A homestead in three parts
- Main residence – three bedrooms plus study centred on an open-plan living space and slow-combustion fireplace.
- Self-contained wing – two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite; ideal for extended family or B&B guests.
- Studio wing – one bedroom, private gym room and bathroom, offering flexible work-from-home potential.
- The train carriage – two further bedrooms, chic lounge and sweeping valley outlooks; a proven Airbnb drawcard.
Grounds and Infrastructure
Woodmere’s 85 cleared acres are fully fenced into five paddocks, watered by four spring-fed dams. A substantial workshop complex services agricultural or hobby uses, while long rows of mature exotic trees protect the house garden and a curated collection of rare cool-climate plants. RU2 Rural Landscape zoning permits a variety of primary-production pursuits. On clear days you can reportedly trace the Sydney skyline from the front lawn.
Why it’s special
- Railway-carriage accommodation – a conversation-starter and income earner rolled into one.
- Turn-key guest infrastructure – the property formerly traded as one of Bilpin’s premier farm-stay venues.
- Uninterrupted escarpment views from the homestead verandahs and carriage deck.
- Commutable country – under 90 minutes to the Sydney CBD, 30 minutes to Kurrajong’s cafés.
Market context
Bilpin’s median house price now sits around $1.58 million, up more than eight per cent year-on-year despite limited transaction volume (just five sales recorded in the past 12 months). Prestige rural holdings above the $3 million mark remain scarce, and agents report growing demand from Sydney buyers seeking larger lifestyle blocks after successive interest-rate cuts.
