Hamptons-inspired hideaway: Goulburn new-build hits the market

It’s little wonder that families are drawn to the charming city of Goulburn, with its picturesque heritage buildings, rosy-hued gardens and lush green parks.

Perched right on the cusp of town and country, 13 Jockey Court is a modern Hamptons oasis, perfectly primed for the arrival of its first inhabitants.

As the first home to be built on the street, it has set the bar high for the future residents of this tranquil part of the Southern Tablelands.

“It’s a boutique development that’s right on the edge of town,” says selling agent Justin Gay of Ray White Goulburn.

“It’s all about lifestyle for this property – you’re in town, but you’re out of town.”

Built and designed by Jess and Dale Cummins of DC Homes in collaboration with Hugh Gordon Architect, the home is visually spectacular.

“It’s a family home, but we tried to get that modern Hamptons feel,” says Jess.

With its two living spaces and five bedrooms, the floor plan was designed to cater to all types of families.

“That fifth bedroom could also be an office, or you could even have two offices if you’re a professional couple and still have room for a couple of kids,” says Dale.

The house at 13 Jockey Court stands up to the functionality demanded by families: think flexible spaces, clever storage, and a laundry that’s positively cavernous by today’s standards.

“Having that many kids in the house, you need a big laundry for a five-bedroom home,” says Jess.

The sinewy curved kitchen island bench perfectly anchors the heart of the home. Its dowel timber-clad sides and white benchtop provide a practical workspace and set the visual tone for the rest of the house.

The large, functional kitchen with its Smeg appliances, butler’s pantry, and shaker cabinetry seamlessly flows through to the dining and family area, with its captivating recessed fireplace. The generous living area extends out over the deck thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors.

“The deck is elevated at the back and captures the rural surrounds and the morning sun,” says Dale.

“That kitchen, family and deck area gets all the north-eastern morning sun and then the sun during the day – right where you want it.”

Each of the five bedrooms offers built-in storage, while the main bedroom includes a large walk-in wardrobe, en suite and plenty of space – the perfect personal sanctuary for reading a book, catching up on sleep, or enjoying a quiet moment to yourself.

The double garage and outdoor space are just as functional as the home. With 2000-square-metre of fully fenced grounds to play with, there’s plenty of space to add a large shed, swimming pool, or to simply let the kids roam free.
