Tucked away on just under five acres at 977B Upper Kangaroo River Road in Kangaroo Valley is a charming Swiss Chalet-style home defined by fresh country air, incredible views, and comfortable family living.
Lovingly named Cloud 9 Chalet, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is filled with character across two levels. It’s peaceful and private, surrounded by vast lawns and established trees. There’s also a feature dam with its own timber deck a few metres away.
Besides the dreamy atmosphere, this property has plenty to offer the discerning buyer. There’s proven potential here for secondary income through short-stay accommodation.
Even better, the home is being sold fully furnished.
Frank Barker from Raine & Horne Southern Highlands says it’s rare to find a property with such space, views, flexibility, income potential, and unique architecture all in one beautiful package.
“The Upper Kangaroo River region is highly sought after with good reason,” he says.
“This home is definitely a standout – there’s a great sense of scale and warmth when you step over the threshold. I love the raked ceilings and exposed timber throughout.
“It’s also perfectly positioned to capture natural light and showcase that sensational view, which stretches across the valley and up into dramatic mountain escarpments.”
Stepping indoors, guests are led through a sunny foyer and past the corner kitchen into an open-plan living and dining space. A fire-style gas heater keeps the area nice and cosy, while floor-to-ceiling windows bring in plenty of natural light.
Large families and entertainers will no doubt appreciate the home’s versatile floor plan.
There are two inviting bedrooms at ground level, sharing an adjacent bathroom. Upstairs are two more, plus a second rumpus. The main is oversized at 5.2 by 6.9 metres, with panoramic views of the property and surrounding landscape. It’s also equipped with a walk-in wardrobe.
Completing the picture is a flexible loft space that could easily serve as guest accommodation, a home office, or a teenager’s retreat.
“Cloud 9 Chalet is just as impressive outdoors,” Frank says.
“The huge timber deck is uncovered to take advantage of our mild climate. It also comes with a hot tub, perfect for evenings under the stars.
“There’s a second deck down by the dam. You have almost five acres to play with here, so there’s loads of room for a kitchen garden, orchard, chicken coop, or whatever else your heart desires.”
Rounding out the property are a secure garage and carport, a sizeable laundry and a wine cellar.
Kangaroo Valley is a friendly rural community home to about 1200 people. The central village is well-equipped with a pharmacy, post office, general store, pub and gym.
There are plenty of little cafes, galleries and boutique shops to explore, and the local primary school caters for students from kindergarten to grade 6.
Frank’s a local himself, having lived and worked in the valley for about two decades.
“I love this area with all my heart and think it’s one of the most beautiful locations in all of Australia,” he says.
“Cloud 9 Chalet feels worlds away from the many stressors of modern life, yet within easy reach of everything that makes Kangaroo Valley so special. It’s only a 12-minute drive to the local village, 45 minutes to Bowral and the South Coast, and 2 hours to Sydney.
“This property would suit tree changers from Sydney or Canberra looking for a private rural lifestyle with plenty of room to grow.”
