903A Jacks Corner Road, Kangaroo Valley
Is there anything more soothing than peaceful green rolling down into calm blue? A big sky, tall trees and birdsong, too, are the sublime components that create this little piece of paradise.
At 903a Jacks Corner Road, Kangaroo Valley, gorgeous lake and pastoral views abound. This would be a brilliant spot if you just pitched a tent, so imagine being in The Lakehouse.
This newly built beauty is a sumptuous affair. While substantial, it doesn’t overwhelm its seat; rather, the single-level, pavilion-like design rolls handsomely across the site.
Darren Curtis of Christie’s International Real Estate says serenity is the key here. “Apart from the level of finish, it’s the privacy and tranquillity that stand out. It’s the sort of place where you feel like you can really get away.”
Natural hardwoods and stone finishes, inside and out, confer robust elegance. Large windows, timber-lined ceilings and a stacked stone, two-way hearth bring luxury country house vibes. Four lush bedrooms, each with vistas and en suites, underscore the spectacular amenity.
Outside, 15 hectares are comprised of formal gardens and bushland. Broad stone patios, a splendid fire/conversation pit and the horizon-edge swimming pool that appears to flow off into the lake are breathtaking. The expressions-of-interest campaign carries a guide of $6.75 million-$7.25 million.
