AS SEEN IN The Age, SMH, Gourmet Traveller, Marie Claire. ‘An architectural triumph’ – ‘eco haven for luxury & romance’ - ‘the ultimate place to stay’. WILDACRES is a unique Australian bush-chic haven. An eco-led architecturally designed escape amidst 40 acres of native bushland in Blackheath. With fireplaces, heated floors, air conditioning, hot tub, pizza oven, firepits and exclusive hiking trails leading to breathtaking private cliff lookouts. WILDACRES is the ultimate Blue Mountains getaway.

The space
WILDACRES is a relaxing home away from home offering unparalleled privacy surrounded by 40 acres of pristine native flora and fauna.

With your very own private trails and lookouts for incredible sunsets on the property ("The kind of lookout tourists would take a coach to... if they could" - Gourmet Traveller, May 2024). It is the perfect place to take in the breathtakingly beautiful vistas of the Kanimbla Valley and beyond with a glass of wine in absolute privacy.

Enjoy a relaxing soak in the cedar hot tub after a busy day hiking or sightseeing in the Blue Mountains and spend evenings stargazing, swapping stories around one of the two indoor fire places or incredible outdoor firepit toasting a few marshmallows.

Perfect for seamless indoor outdoor living throughout the seasons, an extensive kitchen garden, herb garden, expansive kitchen, stylish living spaces and terrace, undercover outdoor BBQ and pizza oven await.

Architecturally designed with floor to ceiling glass, vaulted ceilings and heated polished concrete the retreat nests sympathetically within the landscape, amidst a stunning amphitheater of serene protected Australian bushland.

Utilising rainwater harvesting with its solar passive design, solar power, Tesla battery and extensive use of reclaimed materials crafted by local mountain artisans, this is a thoughtful, inviting and environmentally sensitive home beyond compare.

Further enhanced by its proximity to some of the Blue Mountains favourite destinations including Katoomba, Leura, Megalong Valley Tea Rooms, Lot 101, Dry Ridge Estate, Logan Brae Orchard and some of the best hiking trails in the world. This much loved escape combines the best ancient beauty, modern luxury and timeless appeal.
