Bowral Bowral

This iconic country house, designed by late architectural genius, Harry Seidler, is celebrated by designers as his most striking residential masterpiece. Built into the natural rock formation, this award-winning design is dramatically positioned on the edge of a rugged sandstone escarpment, ensuring panoramic bush views overlooking a deep picturesque gorge of the Wingecarribee River, near Bowral, in the Southern Highlands of NSW.

The sensational design includes a spacious open plan with floor to ceiling glass walls, opposing curved roofs, open fire places and local stone. The functional living spaces include four bedrooms and beautiful common areas that mould together and extend to viewing decks, vast outdoor areas with sculptures, stone gardens and a central sensational swimming pool.

This spectacular property has been celebrated in several international magazines including Architectural Digest. The property projects the glamour of the Hollywood Hills, yet privacy is assured as no other property can be seen. It sits proudly amongst 150 acres of natural bush with 2km of river frontage, and where wildlife abounds with wombats, kangaroos, platypus, koalas and birdlife.

The Seidler House also has convenience to local restaurants, cafes, wineries, boutiques, antique shops and a variety of sporting facilities and is less than a 90 minute drive from either Sydney or Canberra.
