A unique and extremely private family oasis with a Mediterranean feel and its own 105 acre valley only 4 minutes from Berrima Village. Nestled into the hillside is a quadrangle of buildings surrounded by enchanting gardens boasting numerous tree species, sprawling lawns, dry stone walls and lovely relaxation areas.
The main house features cathedral ceilings, heated polished concrete floors, French doors and picture windows throughout. Inviting living areas combined with cosy nooks take advantage of the natural light and views over the grounds. A superb Caesarstone kitchen with a large butler's pantry overlooks the internal and alfresco dining areas. All opening to the garden and patio with central fire pit providing space for entertaining family and friends while the children play. A private wing on the eastern side houses the parents retreat with sitting room, double sided S/C fire, bedroom and ensuite. Two main bathrooms and three more bedrooms including one loft style with a delightful balcony overlooking the living areas.
The theme of private nooks continues with individual covered verandahs around the house and a gorgeous sandstone pavilion & fire pit beside the in-ground saltwater pool - A great spot to relax after a hit of tennis on the clay court adjoining. The studio flat and 4 car garage complete the main residence.
The barn is extraordinary and just oozing character. Originally purpose built as a professional art workshop with high raked ceilings, a vast mezzanine level and commercial double-sink washing facilities. It could suit many purposes whether as a large indoor entertaining space, games room or additional temporary accommodation. An extensive fruit orchard was recently planted on the hillside adjoining.
The substantial vegetable garden provides a variety of organic produce for the home and also a private Sydney food organisation. The chook house, glass house and hot shade house adding to the appeal of this mini food farm. Very popular on Air BnB as a boutique retreat, 'Gunu' is so tranquil and private, a lifestyle property that truly provides an escape from the hustle and bustle.
