Discover total serenity, just 20 minutes from Googong and 40 minutes from the bustle of Manuka and the Kingston Foreshore. Leave the stress of the world behind before you even turn into your driveway. The Eyrie (eagle's nest), is the perfect blend of luxury and space in this beautifully appointed hilltop retreat. Nestled approximately 1,000m above sea level, this extraordinary home boasts panoramic views, renovated interiors, and high-end sustainable living.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a sense of tranquility and grandeur. Elegant fountains frame your view as you enter, leading your eye across a serene ornamental pond to the sweeping panoramic vistas beyond. It's a breathtaking welcome that perfectly sets the tone for this exceptional residence.
Surrounded by unspoiled bushland, this property is a haven for native wildlife. Birds (including some endangered species), kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and echidnas are regular visitors, creating a truly immersive Australian country experience and a bird watcher's paradise. Thanks to the home's elevated position, it's not uncommon to see a majestic eagle soaring overhead or in the valley below, adding to the sense of serenity and connection with nature. From spectacular sunrises over the Tinderrys and majestic sunsets over the Brindabellas, daily bushwalks on the property or the adjacent trails, winter snows and summer evenings under the wisteria covered pergola as the easterlies roll in each afternoon - this property offers a magical experience all year round. If you have been looking for a place to breathe and connect with nature, you will find it here!
