According to Australian Property Monitors, it sold for $2.5 million in April.
The home was built a little more than 30 years ago by the previous owners.
Designed to exploit the position, aspect and views, the sandstock home was designed by Ronald A Gilling and includes features such as an antique cedar front door, softly hued interior, cedar French doors, thematically controlled home heating system, wood combustion fireplace and full-length verandahs.
The property initially had a price guide between $2.9 million and $3.3 million.
Steve Pryor of Raine & Horne Kiama was the listing agent.
“It sits at the top of Saddleback ridge line and has 180 degrees totally unobstructed coastal and rural views,” co-agent Paul Belleville told the Mercury earlier this year.
“It would suit someone looking for a rural scenic escape or a buyer who’s into cattle or horses.”
The property also has self-contained separate guest accommodation over a triple car garage.
On the farm there are open paddocks, five-hole golf course greens, cattle yards and machinery shed.
It’s one of several notable sales in Jamberoo in recent times.
A piece of Jamberoo history sold in March.
In February 2016, a luxury home, converted from part of the historic Jamberoo Milk Factory, sold for $1.48 million.
Its sister property was later listed on the market.
The property at 31 Factory Lane, Jamberoo was listed for sale earlier this year for $2,180,000.
Features include lavish landscaped gardens, pool and ivy covered equipment cottage, an orchard with free range chicken garden and coop and a pizza oven.
