Kangaroo Valley luxurious mountaintop home hits the market

When untouched nature and innovative architectural design combine it truly is a sight to be seen. Mountain Springs is where rugged earth and meticulous, innovative human creation wander hand in hand across two hectares of the Southern Highlands.

This pavilion-style home rests in the centre of a natural amphitheatre and while the 360-degree mountainous surrounds pose a dramatic backdrop, the home itself is no less impressive. 

“Mountain Springs was conceived and created as both a modern homestead [and] with the intention to fulfil several purposes: as a meeting-place mecca for innovation, discussion and exploration; [and] as a home for friends and family to unite and relax, enjoy, and take in nature’s paradise with breathtaking views,” agent Carrie Bond of Bond Lifestyle Properties says. 

“Overlooking one of Kangaroo Valley’s most iconic escarpment settings, Mountain Springs is in a class of its own.”

Imagined and crafted by architect Scott Buscall of Sydney’s DesignStudioGroup, this home is distinct in its marvellous modernity and responsiveness to its locale. 

Staggering double-glazed windows line almost every wall, inviting the outside in and ensuring a moment of peaceful pondering is never missed. Stepping inside, you feel like you’ve entered your own private and contemporary conservatory.

“An inspiration created by the owner working alongside an award-winning architect,” Bond says. “Together [they] spent many hours planning and creating an unprecedented build. 

“The organic relationship of innovative technology and integrated materials – such as Corten steel, charred timber [and] carefully selected sandstone for its rich colour palette – were all chosen to mimic the palette of the property’s surrounds.”

The soft and complementary tones of the interiors imbue the space with an atmosphere of tranquillity, from the cool-to-the-touch Italian marble island bench in the kitchen to the timber-clad feature wall in the main bedroom.

No expense has been spared to make this estate the height of luxury, but it’s been done in such a considered and thoughtful way that it doesn’t feel overpowering or flashy. The opulence is felt yet understated. 

“The property is low maintenance with advanced technology allowing the discerning purchaser to enjoy [it] as a weekender, then just lock up and leave with a push of a button.” Bond says. 

“The landscape is clever and uncomplicated as well, complementing the property, providing privacy, yet easy to maintain.”

Of course, a little flaunting never hurt anyone, and who could overlook the glistening pool that all but walks over the edge of the mountain. Coupled with the external wood fireplace and effortless access to almost every room in the house, this home is more akin to a resort than a residential property. 

But here you won’t have to share it with anyone else, save a few fish in the pond and birds dancing through the sky.
