Comprising a homestead and three guesthouses, The Woods at 107 Halls Road, Pokolbin is listed for sale via expressions of interest with Jurds Real Estate agent Cain Beckett.

"The property has been with the owners for a long time, around 30 years, during which time it has operated as a very profitable business."

The sale includes a five-bedroom homestead.

Positioned on 25 acres, the property was built by owners Anne Marie and Ewan Cameron three decades ago during which time the couple has resided in the main house and operated the guesthouses as luxury short-stay accommodation, including the Scandi-inspired guesthouse known as Blackwood.

The sale includes the property's five-bedroom homestead.

The Calacutta marble kitchen includes Sub-zero refrigeration, kickboard strip-lighting, Ilve appliances and a large skylight centred over the island bench.

Each wing in the homestead has its own bathroom, all of which feature tumbled limestone floors and Italian glass mosaics.
