A Literary Legacy Meets Architectural Elegance! After publishing her best-selling novel The Thorn Birds, author Colleen McCullough designed and built this extraordinary residence as her personal sanctuary-a place that balanced proximity to New York with the peaceful seclusion of forested hills and a gently flowing brook. Nestled at the end of a winding private drive, the home welcomes you with a grand foyer leading to a stunning central atrium terrace. Flanking this terrace are two expansive master suites-each its own private retreat, complete with en-suite baths and living areas. A graceful marble staircase ascends to a gallery overlooking the foyer, opening into a breathtaking 72-foot-long living room with soaring ceilings and panoramic southern views. Its unique layout creates multiple cozy vignettes: gather around the fireplace, enjoy music in the raised alcove, host guests on the small marble dance floor, or step onto the 920 sq ft open-air deck to soak in the natural beauty of the 10.66-acre grounds.This estate offers 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a rare blend of comfort, style, and literary history! With 3 parking spaces, this one-of-a-kind home is a timeless masterpiece waiting for its next chapter. Great potential for family compound or investment property. A little TLC will go a long way!
