Linnaeus Farm is one of the finest properties on the south coast of NSW. Set on 3.5 hectares of lush, manicured grounds, just a few minutes from the bustling, historic village of Berry, the jewel in the crown of the Shoalhaven district on the NSW south coast. Berry oozes country charm and sophistication and is also just 10 minutes drive from renowned Seven Mile Beach and its long stretches of pristine sands.
The space
Arrival feels deliberate from the moment the stone gates open, gravel softens beneath the tyres, and the landscape begins to widen.
Linnaeus Farm unfolds across 8.6 acres of rolling grounds, framed by paddocks, gardens and the escarpment beyond. Architectural yet grounded, the residence balances warm minimalism with natural materials, custom finishes and light-filled interiors designed to slow the pace.
Open-plan living spans two generous levels, creating spaces that feel expansive yet connected. Two full kitchens with Miele appliances support extended stays, private catering and shared meals, while hotel-standard bedding ensures deep rest throughout.
Dining has been thoughtfully curated in partnership with Villeroy & Boch, with tableware and cutlery selected to complement the architecture and material palette of the home. Each piece forms part of the curated collection of the residence, elevating everyday meals into refined and considered experiences.
Bathrooms feature oversized rain showers and a freestanding soaking bath. Heated flooring extends beyond the upstairs bathroom into the entry foyer and mudroom, adding subtle comfort to the everyday rhythm of the home.
Outdoors, the estate is shaped by land and season. A resort-style pool anchors summer days, balcony dining overlooks the grounds, and fire pits draw guests together at dusk.
The wellness circuit includes a traditional electric hot rock sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge. Across the dam, the heated lake hut offers stillness above water for meditation, reading or quiet recalibration.
