Fire and Rescue NSW crew from Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale attended the blaze which was extinguished at approximately 12 am.
Crews later returned to the scene at 6:30 am as the property reignited near the back of the house.
One northbound lane remains closed on the Old Hume Highway as police and FRNSW conduct their investigation.
A Fire and Rescue spokesperson said the fire was "quite intense" and that no one was injured.
"The occupant wasn't home at the time and had left an hour before the fire started," they said.
"We were alerted by a neighbour who called to report the fire.
"There's no know cause of the fire and the fire investigative unit and K9's are on the scene investigating."
The property was a single story detached dwelling with neighbours on either side. No other buildings were damaged.
Motorists are advised to slow down when approaching emergency vehicles with flashing lights.
