If your backyard cricket batting skills are so advanced you keep losing balls over the fence, why not upgrade to a home with its own cricket pitch? This ex-dairy farm comes with a cricket field so big you might want to gather the extended family for a game – those lining up to bat can relax in the English-style pavilion. If the weather stops play, take the action inside to the billiard room or the indoor tennis court.

If you’re willing to splash some extra cash and make the tree change, this Dural home will satisfy every member of the family no matter what their code of choice is. Expansive lawns make for the perfect soccer field, or you can watch it on the big screen in the theatre and games room. There’s a gym for those with a little less hand-eye coordination and an eight-car garage for motoring enthusiasts. The home itself is an entertainer’s delight, so expect it to be popular on game days.
