Ancient escarpment the perfect backdrop to modern architectural masterpiece

If you’ve been dreaming of a brand new regional getaway but don’t want the hassle of building from scratch, Mountain Springs could be just the ticket.

Claiming almost two hectares in a dress circle location with spectacular views to Kangaroo Valley’s sandstone escarpment, the single-level home was completed in 2021 and has never been lived in.

Located a two-hour drive from both Sydney and Canberra and a 15-minute drive from the village centre, the residence is divided into two wings, one with floor-to-ceiling double glazing housing the living spaces, and the second host to four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study. A separate building provides secure parking for three cars and workshop space.

The home has been finished with Italian Aquila marble benchtops and Gaggenau appliances in the kitchen and Italian limestone in the bathrooms, with an Alberta stone free-standing bathtub in the main bedroom’s en suite.

In-slab and ducted heating and cooling provide year-round comfort, and there are internal and external fireplaces.

Offering high-speed internet, home automation and high-tech security systems that are accessible remotely, you can easily work from home.

Outside, a broad deck wraps around the living spaces and steps down to a heated mineral pool.

Architect Scott Buscall of Design Studio Group designed a large, cantilevered roof to provide shelter during the day and selected external materials that reference the escarpment and age according to the weather.

Sales agent Deborah Cullen of Cullen Royle says the view is mesmerising.

“You stand in front of something that’s so wide and vast and the light is constantly changing and there’s no one around you,” she says. “It’s incredibly private.”

There has been strong interest in the property from both Sydney and Melbourne, with buyers looking for a primary residence or holiday retreat.

“We’ve had an incredible response, the inquiry has been quite overwhelming,” says Cullen. “It’s an easy bolt from Sydney, coming down through the south coast or down through the Southern Highlands, with lots of shops on the way. Kangaroo Valley has great pubs and restaurants, so it’s a really nice, easy pocket to be in.”

Cullen says the property is fully fenced with a terrific selection of native plants that thrive in the Australian climate, making Mountain Springs a low-maintenance investment. The home also has an excellent water supply via harvested rainwater stored in steel tanks and then filtered via a UHV filtration system.

“We rarely see a home at this level in the Kangaroo Valley region. This part of the valley with those dominant escarpment views is very tightly held.”

There is no shortage of bushwalks, picnic spots and lookouts at nearby Morton National Park, home to the scenic Fitzroy Falls.
