Nine-Test Wallaby star Alan Cardy’s property is on the market

The NSW country estate of the late nine Test Wallaby-turned property-developer, Alan Cardy, is on the market.

300 Monaco St, Broadbeach Waters in Queensland has sold for $9m.

The NSW country estate of the late nine Test Wallaby-turned-property-developer Alan Cardy has hit the market, with property agent Chris Meares expecting interest from the horse industry, lifestylers and retiring farmers. The 210ha farm, known as Lynton, with a 3km frontage to the Wollondilly River, is 6km west of Goulburn, 80km from Canberra, and 210km from Sydney. Meares is expecting $12m-$15m for the property, which features an 1870s renovated five-bedroom stone homestead, an acre of English gardens and a tennis court.

There’s also an original coach house and a formal entrance and driveway as well as two four-bedroom guest cottages. Meares says Lynton can carry up to 400 cattle and earn a good income, but it would also appeal to horse enthusiasts given its impressive equine facilities, including stabling for up to 26 horses. While close to the pricey Southern Highlands, it will not command highland prices, Meares said. Lynton will be auctioned on November 30 through Meares and Clint Donovan of Magic Millions Sales.

Top price for Toorak offering
