BLACKSTAR – A Kangaroo Valley Statement
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.
