Jackie O lists cosy Kangaroo Valley farmhouse after Vaucluse acquisition

Breakfast radio star Jackie O and her husband Lee Henderson have listed their cosy farmhouse with breathtaking views over Kangaroo Valley.

With wide wrap-around verandas, Glen Athan is marketed as being one of the NSW South Coast's most stylish country properties.

It's been their retreat since the land was bought in 2005 and its listing follows their recent Vaucluse purchase.

It's been marketed through Shaine Hilaire at Ray White Berry, who has issued four contracts after 15 inspections over the past month.

Blending Australian homestead heritage design and contemporary luxuries, the six-year-old house comes with wide-board flooring, timber-lined walls and ceilings, South Australian slate hearths and 150-year-old convict-hewn sandstone.

There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms - all with underfloor heating. The master bedroom comes with open fire, ensuite bathroom and private wardrobe area.

It has a bespoke kitchen featuring marble benchtops and walk-in pantry; a scullery; and a laundry and mud room.

There’s also a library with custom joinery and fireplace, a large open study area and a separate home office.

The 42-hectare retreat comes with a “world-class” resort-style swimming pool with district views. There’s an entertaining courtyard nearer the house with a pizza oven facility.

Its one of the 100 properties within the unspoilt Wattamolla Valley, where prices in recent times have ranged upwards of $3 million, albeit for Gladstone Estate, the district’s 203-hectare holding, which sold last year with development approval for nine small lifestyle blocks and four large parcels over 40 hectares.

The farm, through which Ryder’s Creek flows, comes with a fully irrigated kitchen herb garden along with a 90,000-litre underground rainwater tank plus 10,000-litre spring-fed tank for garden watering. There’s a fox-proofed chook shed and fully fenced paddocks.
