18-20 Bloodwood Road, Arcadia, NSW 2159

Embrace a world of tranquil serenity just 50 minutes from Sydney's CBD at this iconic acreage estate. This is a rare opportunity to secure a private haven surrounded by approximately 30 acres. Featured in numerous lifestyle magazines and labelled as Home Beautiful magazine's 'Home of The Year', this mesmerising Balinese/Sulawesi inspired home is like no other. 

Positioned to embrace north facing views and sunshine over its very own water lily adorned lake, water views and beyond are abundant from the main deck, the ground level living and bedroom areas, and the private deck off the master bedroom upstairs. 

Enjoying full sun most of the day, the main house sits within a partially walled compound that includes the four separate sandstone pavilions, gardens, pagoda and two courtyards all linked via timber decking, cobblestones and covered walkways.  At the centrepiece of this sanctuary is the garden courtyard which draws you towards the stunning water views and nature beyond. Complete with creative and meditative spaces to relax and reenergise, this is a unique opportunity to secure an approx. 30 acre haven away from life's hustle and bustle. 

Showcasing artisan sandstone, sculptural features, stain-glass windows and skylights throughout, this family home includes three large bedrooms, each with ensuites and walk-in robes, a light filled art studio and, at its heart, the kitchen and living spaces each adorned with inviting wood fireplaces providing warmth and comfort. 

Allow your creativity to flow in the detached art studio featuring timber cathedral ceilings or relax in the Balinese-style courtyard with signature ornamental tiling. During summer the lake is a delightful place for swimming or just floating by starlight to the sound of frogs. Pristine native flora around the homestead offers gorgeous seasonal wildflowers and attracts birds, wallabies, echidnas and sugar gliders to this tranquil setting. 

The large open paddock space is perfect for a sustainable vegetable garden or horse paddock. A self-sufficient shed is located 100 metres from the main dwelling making it ideal for separating work from home, or simply as a second retreat. The shed hosts a large rainwater tank, and its solar panels service the entire property. Its separate workshop is perfect for sculpting or handiwork whilst drawing inspiration from the natural surrounds.
