What your kitchen looks like when you spend $9m+ in the Southern Highlands
When they say the kitchen is the heart of the home, they’re not wrong. Meal prep, hidden snack-searching, tasting, baking, juicing — it all happens here, with catching up on your day and helping kids with afternoon homework being tackled not too far away.
But what happens to the humble kitchen if you’re lucky enough to upgrade and spend more than you ever dreamed you could on a home?

The kitchen of this jaw-dropping home, location undisclosed
Price: Undisclosed
Sometimes, there are no words to describe the magnificence of a room within a luxury estate. And when we say luxury, we mean royal. This ‘almighty’ kitchen with Wolf gas cooktop and ovens also features an integrated fridge, dishwasher and microwave. The island marble benchtop is lit by a stunning chandelier from above. Cupboard, bench and drawer space is ‘in abundance’ according to the listing.
The kitchen overlooks the main living conservatorium; with fireplace, chandeliers, underfloor heating and bathed in natural light. French doors all around lead to the outdoor entertaining area.
Secluded within 100 acres of serene countryside, we’ve honestly never seen a property like this on Zango. A bespoke masterpiece, the home offers unparalleled style and quality, with lavish bedrooms and living spaces, while the transformed stable provides luxurious accommodation for guests.
The kitchen of this luxury home in Glenquarry
Price: $10 million +
The kitchen of this architecturally-designed home is beautiful, but the price tag is more about the size of the property itself (48ha) and the fact it comes with not one but two homes. Both homes were designed by Kathy Barnsley and have modern elegance and sustainable features at their hearts.
The entire property, ‘Charlotte’s Park’, offers versatility for farming, family living, or events. Bowral's amenities are 10 minutes away and the property offers quick access to both Sydney and Canberra.
The kitchen of this vineyard home in Bowral
Price: $9 million +
The rustic kitchen of our dreams. Exposed trusses, chandeliers and a patchwork backsplash, what more could a girl who loves Luke Combs ask for?
Designed by renowned Architect Richard Rowe, this classic full-brick residence stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. Rustic hardwood timbers, once part of an old railway bridge in Bungendore, underpin the rooms of the residence, creating a sense of rustic luxury that mirrors the allure of the Highlands.
(Did we mention the estate comes with river access, a vineyard and an orchard?)
