There are places that you visit, and there are places that stay with you.
Set within the emerald folds of Wattamolla at the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, Kullaroo on Priddles Lane is one of those rare holdings where landscape and lineage intertwine. Part of a larger landholding dating back to the late 1800s, this is country that has been cherished across generations, quietly, respectfully and without fanfare.
The valley is nothing short of breathtaking. Escarpments frame the horizon in every direction, their colours shifting gently with the passing hours, soft grey in the morning mist, deep green at noon, burnished gold and pinks as the sun begins to fall. From every vantage point, there is movement in the landscape and a stillness in the spirit.
Broger’s Creek winds its way along the property, forming the southern boundary, adding sound, life and a quiet sense of wonder. It is nature’s playground at its most authentic, raw, rhythmic and endlessly beautiful.
An abundant supply of pure mountain water supplied to this property is one of its’ outstanding features. An irrigation licence is available to the next custodian of Kullaroo, (road leading to water).
The main residence tells a thoughtful architectural story. An original, unassuming country home has been meticulously reimagined through a contemporary extension that feels both bold and deeply respectful of its setting. The result is a home of integrity, where past and present sit in elegant balance.
A restrained palette of organic materials anchors the design. Earthy stone, warm timber and steel create strength and texture. Expanses of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, drawing the escarpment views deep into the heart of the home. Wrought iron details and heritage doors nod to history, while the clean lines and Colorbond roofing honour the rural vernacular.
Light is ever-present. It moves across surfaces, shifts through rooms and constantly reframes the valley beyond. This is architecture that belongs to its environment, grounded, timeless and enduring.
Perfectly positioned equidistant from Berry township and Kangaroo Valley Village, and within easy reach of the South Coast’s iconic beaches, the property offers both connection and retreat. You are close to everything, yet beautifully removed.
Then there is the cottage.
Currently a pottery studio and guest accommodation, it is utterly enchanting. Quirky, light filled and reminiscent of bygone days, it carries a creative energy that is impossible to manufacture. A traditional sandstone wall fireplace provides warmth and permanence, while a cleverly repurposed water tank forms a walk-in shower, unexpected, memorable and distinctly individual. It is the kind of space that quietly pulls at your heartstrings. You simply have to experience it.
The paddocks unfold gently outward, ready for cattle to graze or for the hobby farmer to welcome beloved four legged companions home. This is land that invites participation, in the seasons, in the soil and in a slower, more intentional way of living.
58 Priddles Lane is more than a property.
It is a rare convergence of history, architecture and landscape, a place to gather, to create, to breathe deeply and to belong.
