Blackstar

Resting against the backdrop of the Kangaroo Valley escarpment, ’BLACKSTAR’ is a bold and expressive rural retreat where architecture, landscape and atmosphere converge across five private acres. Framed by sweeping lawns, a sculpture garden and a resort-style pool, the residence captures a cinematic outlook from every angle, delivering a unique sense of immersion.

At its heart, an open-plan living domain is defined by a cathedral ceiling and a six-metre-high picture window that draws the landscape inward. Kitchen, dining, and living zones unfold beneath this soaring volume, anchored by a Cheminees Philippe fireplace. Full-width glazing opens to an expansive north-facing deck, where indoor and outdoor living become one continuous experience.

Accommodation is privately positioned across a separate wing, including a main suite that opens directly to the deck, complete with a fireplace and a freestanding bath that takes in the view. Additional bedrooms and the main bathroom maintain the same level of refinement, while a mezzanine retreat above introduces a flexible loft-style space or fourth bedroom.

Outdoors, the property is designed for both relaxation and celebration, with open lawns, a circular driveway, and a secure, gated entry. Balancing rustic bushland charm with a moody, design-led aesthetic, ’BLACKSTAR’ presents as a private sanctuary of scale, style and unmistakable presence within Kangaroo Valley.
