Built for a family who traded Sydney's eastern suburbs for a slower pace in the NSW Southern Highlands, this sprawling country manor began as a family home with good bones and finished as a complete rebuild guided by architectural designer Sally Wilkins. KMI Builders delivered a flowing, north-facing floor plan designed around how the family actually lives, an expansive kitchen with a butler's pantry and bespoke storage, a private parents' retreat with walk-in wardrobe, a dedicated kids' retreat, and a central dining and sunroom with raked ceilings and glass on every side to draw the surrounding gardens inside. A charming laundry and mudroom with a Dutch door, generous decking and paved outdoor entertaining areas rounded out a home built for family life at every turn. The result is a residence its owners describe as their calming oasis, a home that feels effortless to live in because every detail was considered against how the family actually spends their days.
