It’s hard to believe that this classic country farmhouse was only recently completed
< 1 min
Many of us dream of a country estate without missing out on the conveniences of the city. At 17 Heritage Drive, Bundanoon, it is all on offer on a luxury property ideal for weekend parties, working from home or just escaping from the trappings of city living.
The five-bedroom property in the Southern Highlands has been designed to separate living and sleeping quarters while perfectly capturing the natural light, cross breezes and views. An open plan living area is at the centre of this recently completed house, characterised by exposed recycled ironbark beams, dormer windows and a sandstone fireplace constructed from local stone.
The Shaker style kitchen is a cook’s delight, with a generous island bench finished in Caesarstone and abundant storage which extends into the butler’s kitchen.
Bi-fold doors fold back to draw guests outside onto the expansive deck to enhance enjoyment of the 4000sqm property.
For those with a young family or in need of a quiet place to work, a secondary private living area would be ideal as a home office, playroom or home theatre environment.
Part of The Yards at Bundanoon, this is one of the first homes to be completed on the estate, set to become one of the most desirable addresses in the Southern Highlands.

A home that’s right at the entrance to Jeff Bezos’s Beverly HIlls estate, which the billionaire purchased for $165 million in 2020, is now on the market asking $19.8 million.
Shaded by mature olive trees, the three-story modern mansion on Angelo Drive spans nearly 10,000 square feet, and includes five bedrooms, a bar and lounge, a home cinema, a pool with floating benches, and a 15-car garage.
The modern home centers around a striking wood staircase that extends through all three floors, creating an eye-shaped spiral.
Other design choices include a full-height black marble fireplace, herringbone wood flooring, grayscale marble backsplashes in the kitchen and bathroom, banks of floor-to-ceiling windows and a seating area in the middle of the pool.
There is also an outdoor kitchen and eating area poolside, and a living space with sliding doors that open directly onto the pool deck, for indoor/outdoor living.
The home was built in 2021 and designed by Gabbay Architects for the owner, who purchased the underlying property for $4.1 million in 2015, according to property records accessed through PropertyShark.

The Bezos estate is also known as the Warner Estate, named after its first owner, Hollywood mogul Jack Warner of the Warner Bros.
After Warner, the 9-acre estate was owned by music executive and film producer David Geffen, followed by Bezos. The property includes a palatial Gregorian Revival mansion built in 1939 and designed by architect Florence Yoch to befit the status of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
At $19.8 million, the new listing offers quite a deal compared to other properties neighbouring Bezos. In Florida, the owner of a vacant lot next door to the Amazon founder’s estate on Indian Creek Island is asking $150 million for it.
Biophilic design isn’t just about adding greenery—it’s about creating immersive, sensory-rich spaces that restore, inspire, and connect us to the natural world.
