Imagine waking up each day to wide open spaces and crisp country air.

Set on two hectares of fertile land in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley, this ultra-modern weatherboard home provides a lifestyle retreat like no other.

65C Glenmurray Road was brought to life in early 2026 by Broughton Vale Building Co, a local family business that specialises in high-end rural builds. The home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and thoughtful pavilion-style living under high, angled ceilings.

Guests enjoy a distinct sense of arrival in the dedicated entry foyer before being led into the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen space.

Luxury features are dotted throughout, including a freestanding Cheminées Philippe cast-iron fireplace in the lounge and a classic Falcon dual-fuel oven in the kitchen.

Tucked behind the kitchen is a fully equipped butler’s pantry with built-in wine storage, a handy double basin, and an integrated dishwasher.

“Too often, we see people build their dream house without considering the landscape it stands on. That’s not an issue here,” Jacqueline Crapp from Raine & Horne Berry says.

“This home is perfectly oriented to capture Kangaroo Valley’s natural beauty from all angles. Every room has a view. Think wide open spaces with lush pastures, rolling hills and a dramatic mountain backdrop.”

The home’s generous proportions continue through to the bedroom wing. All four bedrooms feature built-in storage and direct access to a covered patio. The primary bedroom acts as a true parents’ retreat, complete with a huge walk-in closet.

At the end of the bedroom pavilion is a relaxed family room that Jacqueline says would be perfect for movie nights or a kids’ play space.

“You’re really spoiled for choice here when it comes to entertainment and relaxation,” she says.

“It’s easy to imagine hosting family and friends on the beautiful timber deck while kids play in the pool just metres away. There’s a stone fire pit area out front for more intimate gatherings.”

The block is an easily manageable size with low-maintenance landscaping, established lawns, and pockets of mature bushland.

Practical additions to note include a mudroom and separate toilet off the main garage, generous rainwater storage and on-roof solar positioned to be effective yet discreet.

“A few metres away from the home is a separate double garage. If you don’t need the extra storage space, it could host a games room or hobby workshop,” Jacqueline says.

65C Glenmurray Road is a scenic five-minute drive from Kangaroo Valley village and 15 minutes from Berry.

Jacqueline describes the area as perfect for families, with a strong sense of community, a relaxed country atmosphere, and plenty of art, retail and hospitality venues nearby.

“From sunrise illuminating lush pastures to sunsets painting the escarpments in hues of gold and amber, Kangaroo Valley provides a constantly changing landscape that can be enjoyed in every season,” she says.

“This property is truly special. It encourages a slower, more considered lifestyle surrounded by nature, but still provides all the modern comforts of home.”
