Once seen, some places stay with you. Magical Sturry is one of them.

Why? Because Sturry offers you something so rare: privacy, beauty and freedom. Freedom to create life on your own terms.

Designed by celebrated Southern Highlands architect Richard Rowe, the home has been reimagined and fully renovated by its current owners, celebrated film and TV producers. Their creative lives have been shaped and changed by the beauty of Sturry's truly Australian landscape. Glorious sunsets, crisp, starry nights and warm days (when you want them) plus four distinct seasons make this a very special place to live. Far more than just a backdrop, Sturry has become their muse.


A HOME WITH CHARACTER


Warm, inviting and thoughtfully curated, the heart of this four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is its open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. Double glazed French doors plus a huge window-seat display enchanting views on all sides. The bones of an old garden, and the re-designed space around the house, offer borrowed views of a lake-like dam and neighbouring horses. An excellent wood fire warms even the coldest winter days.

A separate, generous library with superb built-in joinery has another open fireplace. It offers a timeless retreat for reading, working or quiet conversation. And, a cleverly placed window in the kitchen offers a bird's eye view into this private world!

The master suite, with sweeping curtains, luxurious carpet and a show-stopping mural, features a beautifully appointed walk-in dressing room with superb joinery, a glamorous bathroom with underfloor heating, and lovely views from every window.

Functional and generous, the galley-style laundry – also with lovely views – is a great place to sort socks! There's also a stylish coat and mud room off the front veranda (itself the perfect place for that first cup of coffee.)
Beyond, a superb travertine entertaining terrace invites conversation and long, lazy meals in the shade of the verandah while the sun sets, and stars rise overhead.

A beautifully planted courtyard embraced by sandstone walls and stone paving features a hand-carved water vessel. This favoured, sheltered spot, blessed with all-day light, welcomes you to Sturry.



GARDENS TO WANDER AND WONDER.

Mature oaks and maples, sweet chestnuts, crabapples, an old orchard, plus iris and abundant seasonal plantings, have created e a landscape of changing colour around the house and far beyond. A wisteria walk, productive vegetable gardens and old roses add charm and practicality to life at Sturry.

If there are creative pursuits you long to investigate, a beautifully designed potting shed rebuilt from timber grown on the land, offers creative flexibility. A small private space, it could equally be an artist's studio, a writer's retreat or yoga studio.

Guinea fowl, wombats and your own family of Kangaroos are everyday visitors. So too are more than 23 species of birds.: everything from eagles to pardalotes, cockatoos of all kinds and kookaburras.


EXTRAORDINARY SPACE FOR YOUR NEXT CHAPTER


At Sturry the infrastructure is as compelling as the setting. A vast carport incorporates a studio- bedroom at one end and a separate office at the other, with development approval to convert the studio bedroom into an ensuite bedroom, (subject to the approved plans and conditions).


An enormous bespoke barn, complete with oversized doors and a mezzanine level, provides exceptional scope for an extensive range of activities. Currently a workshop, it could equally suit a stable conversion, with machinery bays on either side for that important tractor plus farm machinery. Nearby small-scale cattle yards, 20 sweet chestnut trees and in-ground irrigation for truffles suggest agricultural possibilities to come.

Tanks on all buildings supply over 150,000l of piped, filtered rainwater to the house; while an aquifer-supplied bore with potable water, a large dam, and app-controlled automatic irrigation support a property that balances rural freedom with practical functionality. 8 zone reverse-cycle air conditioning and two wood fires provide comfort throughout the seasons. An 18-panel solar array plus tesla battery and Evnex EV charger are useful additions. Going off grid is a distinct possibility!

A PLACE THAT GIVES MORE

Sturry is a property for those who value individuality over the ordinary. Gardeners, makers, writers, families and anyone who dreams of the space to explore new possibilities. It's all here.

Space to entertain, space to work, space to grow and, perhaps most importantly, space to think. This landscape, this house, offers you a daily invitation to reflect, to look closer and discover what might come next. And to experience peace.

Come for the landscape. Stay for the life it inspires
