Hello

This blog is my *virtual magazine* of stunning homes in Australia currently for sale. The homes are not necessarily perfect (like in a magazine shoot) so you need to forgive some obvious mistakes, and just enjoy seeing how others live, perhaps even take some inspiration from here n' there! (if you see your home here, take a bow because I search high and low before I finally decide to post a home for my blog!) THANKS FOR DROPPING BY...

Such a nice home, in typical NSW country,
over park-like 14 acres, with tennis, pool etc etc.




The interiors are muted, but appealing.



That's a pretty bedroom, nice colours.



Obviously the outdoors are a huge selling factor with this home.

There is a tennis court hidden there above!


Great back yard, with your own dam!
Just a great way to live...




AND here's what the Agent said!


Kurkulla
This magnificent country estate, dating back to 1880, was originally built as a boarding school for boys and then later purchased by Ada Evans (the first woman to qualify for admission to the Bar in NSW) in 1909.
"Kurkulla" has been renovated and extended under the strict guidance of arguably Australia's leading heritage architect, Howard Tanner, resulting in the creation of a glorious family home.
The house is a complete estate with the main house, including a separate guest accommodation or self-contained studio, 3 paddocks, an inground pool, and a floodlit tennis court.
- Retaining many of its early features including original Villeroy and Boch tiles and commanding fireplaces
- Wunderlich ceilings with antique chandeliers and light fittings, original bathroom fixtures and rich timber joinery
- Fully renovated Manager's cottage
- 3 phase electricity
- Approximately 14 acres of park-like gardens
- Garden includes Blue bell wood, orchard with plums, cherries, apples and a fully enclosed vegetable garden
- Large workshop for outside garden equipment and tools
- Fully irrigated from dam
- Short walk into the centre of Bowral
