With two magnificent glass-walled pavilions that back onto the Blue Mountains National Park, the northerly vistas are superb. Mercutt's genius combination of 'floating' pavilions, exquisite log fireplaces and a protected outdoor barbecue room provides for an outstanding family living and entertaining experience. Superbly generous accommodation with a master en-suite and multiple French doors out to the covered verandah all herald a prestige lifestyle.
This well-appointed and immaculately presented home offers high ceilings, ducted heating and a main bathroom that sports a bath painted by former owner, artist Jenny Kee and hand-made tiles by artist Michael Ramsden.
There are few properties that epitomise a mountain escape as flawlessly as this sublime Blackheath estate. Occupying 1.6 hectares, a pebble-stone approach is surrounded by a multitude of garden rooms that have been extensively developed and lovingly nurtured by the current owners over a period of 17 years; they are nothing short of outstanding.
An extensive irrigation grid that was installed when this was first a nursery in the 1940s, feeds the organic vegetable garden. There are fruit trees and Wisteria arbors, a Koi pond, wood ducks on the dam, kangaroos at dusk, thousands of spring & autumn bulbs and constructed pathways with meticulous box hedging. Hidden away is a tree branch teepee and an orchid shed offering quiet, contemplative spaces. Boasting shade, shelter, surprise and adventure this property is as much about the magnificent park-like gardens, which include an old pine forest, expansive grasslands, deciduous woodland and cold-climate plantings, as it is about the award-winning home.
