Bespoke design with the finest credentials and fantastic views takes country living to a luxe level. Designed by award-winning architects Pleysier Perkins and surrounded by a Paul Bangay garden, this four/five-bedroom home is a lifestyle oasis on 11.8 hectares (29.17 acres approx.) of land.
Ridge House is the perfect antidote to city living, a calming hideaway where relaxation comes naturally. Panoramic views of Mount Franklin and bushland are on show through floor-to-ceiling windows in all main rooms, there’s lots of space to unwind and entertain in the large living and dining zone, and if working remotely is part of your plan there’s a spacious home office/fifth bedroom/TV retreat.
Arriving at Ridge House is instantly impressive, with its optimum privacy and elevated position. Inside there’s a feature-rich fitout to admire, with a main bedroom wing thoughtfully located at one end of the house, a luxe kitchen featuring stone benches and quality appliances, an ensuite, family bathroom and great sized laundry.
Timber floors, a freestanding Danish Morso fireplace, ducted heating, double-glazing and solar power are just a sample of this home’s quality inclusions.
The seamless indoor-outdoor synergy centres around areas of shaded decking, a north-facing terrace with a barbecue kitchen, and Paul Bangay’s exquisite landscape design.
Established deciduous trees, borders of rosemary and lavender, an arc of lawn, and stone retaining walls complement the surrounding countryside. It’s a garden for all seasons, complete with a paved fire pit area and room for large-scale celebrations.
Outdoor practicalities are taken care of with a large concrete-floor machinery shed, a dam, water tank, and plenty of onsite parking.
No wonder this has become one of the region’s most in-demand short-stay destinations, perfect for when friends and family want an escape with Insta-worthy surroundings and serenity.
