Kangaroo Valley

With Rosalie Iannelli

View property

Nestled on 48 hectares of lush green rolling hills and valley escarpments in the incredible Wattamolla region is the striking Heggy’s country residence.

The property makes the most of its rich rainforest surroundings with landscaped gardens and paddocks which come equipped with horse and cattle facilities.

Meander further and you’ll uncover creeks and a pristine waterfall and rock cave area. It’s hard to comprehend that this piece of magic sits within your very estate.

The main home itself exudes elegant country charm across two levels and two separate wings. The living room boasts cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, polished hardwood floors and a double-sided fireplace.

This opens to an outdoor entertaining patio with panoramic views of the spectacular mountains. Accompanied by a solar-heated pool and tennis court, there is no better place to spend time with family and friends.

Multiple extra living areas upstairs are blank cavasses for the taking. Currently, they’re used as a yoga and tranquillity room and a quiet room and library.

Also on the property is an adjacent one-bedroom, one-bathroom self-contained abode called Heggy’s Cottage. With vistas as good as the main residence, it’s ideal holiday accommodation.

Kingston

View property

It feels like spring when I’m driving to Kingston. Why? Because the tree-lined streets leading into the foreshore blossom around this time, and what better place to view it than from 32/17 Trevillian Quay?

From the full-length balcony, you’ll have front-row seats to the sunset over Lake Burley Griffin, and even when the leaves turn, it’s still a beautiful sight to behold.

The luxury apartment offers about 172 square metres of living space with a kitchen that is both opulent and functional thanks to its Miele appliances, including an integrated oven and coffee machine.

The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with a bathtub, as well as direct balcony access.

The home also enjoys a built-in study, and the remaining two bedrooms also have access to their own shared, private balcony.

Price guide: $2.5 million+
