Allhomes’ top pick of homes in the surrounding region:

Berry

932 Kangaroo Valley Road (also pictured up top)

Price guide: $3 million +

5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 6 car spaces

To sum up the home at 932 Kangaroo Valley, one word comes to mind – enchanting.

From the moment you roll through the old front gate, you’ll be blown away by the beauty of this residence, Essington Park. Surrounding the house are hundred-year-old European trees and look a little further beyond and you’ll find magical pockets of rainforest too.

The home itself is just as captivating. Originally built in 1904, it has undergone three extensive renovations since. The main bedroom (with two walk-in wardrobes) is on one side of the house, while the guest suite on the other side currently acts as Airbnb accommodation.

In the summer, enjoy an ice-cold drink on the shaded north-facing terrace. In the winter, the sunny western terrace is the perfect spot to soak in some warmth.

The property worked as a dairy farm up until the early 1960s. There are seemingly endless green paddocks which sometimes play home to Gotland sheep.

Exit the property and go right to head towards the hinterlands or left to the beach. And when you leave, you’ll realise just how magical this home truly is.
