Introducing ‘Jilliby House’ – a stunning acreage retreat just 90 minutes’ drive north of Sydney’s CBD.
Designed by award-winning architect Fergus Scott, as an architectural response to its stunning surrounds, Jilliby House is sympathetic, sensitive and complementary to its setting. This is a property that affords a lifestyle like no other.
It blurs the lines between indoor living and the naturally beautiful outdoor landscape. Stacking doors and a linear plan enable the home’s elongated northern and southern sides to be fully opened, creating cooling breezes, cross ventilation, passive heating/cooling and offering an illusion of living entirely outdoors.
The home’s gourmet kitchen is central to the open living space, while an outdoor fire pit and a variety of alfresco deck and patio areas have been designed as extension to the property’s pure approach to relaxed entertaining. In essence, almost the entire house can be opened up as an indoor/outdoor verandah, idyllic for large scale entertaining.
In addition to the main residence of Jilliby House, the property also encompasses two other dwellings: a detached, two bedroom, dual level guest house well fit out to indulge visiting family and friends, and a single level studio beyond, offering an exceptional creative space.
All three buildings, Jilliby House, The Guest House and The Music Pavilion, enjoy breathtaking views over an enormous, lily-filled, natural billabong, stocked with fish and attracting an array of birdlife.
The property itself boasts post and rail fenced paddocks, acres of undulating, arable land, a large machinery shed/workshop, professional horse arena, netted orchard and a magnificent billabong. The landscaping and property design has been a true labour of love, showcasing an immense passion for its position and an ode to perfection.
