Murrumbateman

With Rosalie Iannelli

View property

The home at 6 Kanangra Close, within the popular Jiparu Estate, encapsulates what contemporary country manors should be. 

It’s on an elevated, perfectly oriented position to make the most of the sun and the rolling hillsides and has a strikingly modern facade that effortlessly blends in with its rural surroundings; a grand interior with soaring raked ceilings, made homely with elements like double-sided fireplaces; uses natural materials inspired by the home’s connection to nature; and has an ever-present indoor to outdoor flow. 

Windows intentionally replace features like the kitchen splashback and consume entire walls, acting as real-world art pieces that make the most of the farm-like setting. 

Out the back is an entertaining space set to host memorable gatherings. 

Almost 74 square metres of covered timber decking overlooks the outdoor white-speckled mineral swimming pool, which is heated and paved with artisanal stone pavers. Adjacent to the pool is a fire-pit area for stargazing after dinner is done. 

The designer kitchen is well equipped with premium appliances, a butler’s pantry and over 30 metres of stone bench space to host said gatherings.
