Description

A literary legacy meets architectural elegance! after publishing her best-selling novel the thorn birds, author colleen mccullough designed and built this extraordinary residence as her personal sanctuary-a place that balanced proximity to new york with the peaceful seclusion of forested hills and a gently flowing brook. nestled at the end of a winding private drive, the home welcomes you with a grand foyer leading to a stunning central atrium terrace. flanking this terrace are two expansive master suites-each its own private retreat, complete with en-suite baths and living areas. a graceful marble staircase ascends to a gallery overlooking the foyer, opening into a breathtaking 72-foot-long living room with soaring ceilings and panoramic southern views. its unique layout creates multiple cozy vignettes: gather around the fireplace, enjoy music in the raised alcove, host guests on the small marble dance floor, or step onto the 920 sq ft open-air deck to soak in the natural beauty of the 10.66-acre grounds.this estate offers 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a rare blend of comfort, style, and literary history! with 3 parking spaces, this one-of-a-kind home is a timeless masterpiece waiting for its next chapter. great potential for family compound or investment property. a little tlc will go a long way! make your appointment today!
