Inside the magical Jerrabomberra sanctuary hiding a jaw-dropping 12-car basement

There’s something magical about this Jerrabomberra home, nestled among the trees with uninterrupted views of the regional landscape, but the enchantment extends far beyond its picturesque exterior.

The five-bedroom home at 28 Kalang Street holds an elevated position on more than 3000 square metres in one of Jerra’s most tightly held streets.

Terraced landscaping, highlighted by stone retaining walls, curated plantings and manicured lawns instantly establishes the sheer scale of the estate.

Then come the big numbers: the property offers 461 square metres of living above a 280-square-metre, 12-car basement garage. Amazingly, within that space is also an 80-square-metre mezzanine level and vehicle hoist.

Beyond the numbers, though, are features galore that will surpass most expectations of a luxury home.

Backing onto the Jerrabomberra Mountain Reserve at the top of a private cul-de-sac, its location is heavily praised by agents Katrice Velnaar and Anthony Weston of Hive Property.

“The position is unrivalled, yet the home has a subtle presence and truly integrates into its environment rather than dominating it,” Weston says. “Its exterior architecture has a solid, timeless feel that works seamlessly in its location.”

Designed in 2011 by architect Peter Byfield, the house balances the feel of a private sanctuary and resort.

Velnaar says serious thought is the secret behind the home’s appeal.

“One of its most outstanding points of difference is the future thinking that has gone into the design,” she says.

“It has anticipated many of the inclusions that modern luxury homes have only gotten around to in the past few years.”

This thoughtful design is reflected in a streamlined floor plan that separates communal entertaining areas from private spaces.

Toward the front of the home sits an elegant primary suite, with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, joined by four additional oversized bedrooms (one with an en suite). The hallway leads past a lift that connects with the basement to two living options: a sports lounge with a wet bar, and a rumpus room. There’s also a library “quiet zone”, ideal for studying or relaxing.

Velnaar says the home’s interior has a unique feel.

“I think the colour palette, the fixtures, fittings and finishes all contribute toward a sense of calm and comfort,” she says. “That again is a real achievement in creating an intimate space in a large home.”

The heart of the home delivers pure architectural theatre. Soaring cathedral ceilings, warm timber floors, and statement stone feature walls define the main living area, which has the size and scale for serious entertaining.

The accompanying kitchen is equally impressive, boasting premium appliances and a spacious walk-in pantry.

Home comforts include double glazing, hydronic heating, a gas fireplace, air-conditioning and cost-efficient solar power, along with a home security system.

Outdoor highlights that reinforce the home’s “staycation” vibe range from a pool (with spa) and pizza oven to a putting green and a multipurpose sports court for ball games.

The covered al fresco area comes with a built-in barbecue for outdoor dining, while the outdoor fireplace is the perfect spot for a wind-down glass of red.

Weston says the home is an ideal option for anyone considering building their own.

“It’s a turnkey solution – ready to move in – and that has real appeal,” he says. “You certainly couldn’t build anything like this for anywhere near the same price again.”
