Property Description
After Colleen McCullough wrote her best selling novel, "The Thorn Birds" she designed and built a house to fulfill her dreams. Near her publishers in New York, yet with the seclusion of forested hills and brook where she could work in an ideal setting. From the imposing entrance at the end of a winding drive, one faces a long and beautiful foyer, opening on one side to the enormous atrium terrace. On opposite sides of the terrace are two wings containing the master suites, virtually separate apartments in themselves. A light marble stairway rises from the foyer to a small gallery and beyond is the utterly breathtaking living room, 72 feet long, encompassing the sylvan vista to the south. The irregular shape of this room lends itself to intimate groupings around the fireplace or on the raised music alcove, on the small marble dance floor or at the other end, the 920 sq foot open deck. 10.26 private acres backing up to forest land.
