Resting comfortably within the elevated site ridgeway.home exemplifies living within landscape, both speaking to and responding to, the incredible sanctuary of the natural bush surrounds. Large windows frame, inspiring panoramic views, lending an experience of being both inside and out. Shifting light alters the textures and colour of the mountains, and the transition to evening is celebrated in a riot of pink and orange, as the sun sets over the hills.

As you crest a gentle, sloping driveway, the simplicity of the roofline, castes a striking form in the landscape. Acacias, gums, native pines and bottle brush encircle and privatise and there is a profound sense of remove and quietude.

Within, layered warm materials - cedar, maple, slate, mosaic tiles, soft carpet, timber flooring - commune to the soul. The palette of striking blues and deep greens, harmonise with the trees, endless sky. Raked ceilings, exposed beams, light wells, split level dining, Malm fireplace, exemplify classic mid-century modern design. Invitational and comfortable, ridgeway.home, also extends a distinct experience of elegance and composure.

Split across three levels with a flexible layout, the home offers a variety of spaces for meaning, connection and seclusion. The upper lounge, which includes the main kitchen, warmed by combustion fire, opens to Japanese courtyard to the east, with elevated views to the west. The lower formal dining and living area, flows seamlessly to western deck and alfresco dining.

All bedrooms on the ground level enjoy connection to landscape and open to protective courtyards. The master bedroom with ensuite and large walk-in-robe has sightlines through to the Brindabellas. The remaining two bedrooms on this level, have built-in storage, and centre around the stunning Japanese bathroom, with tiled tub, overlooking the bamboo lined courtyard.

A bespoke timber stairwell leads to a fourth bedroom, where a wall of windows and double skylights welcomes continuous daylight. A true retreat, this expansive room frames evening panoramas of twinkling city lights and the occasional romantic showing of distant Canberra fireworks.

The separate apartment, with timber kitchen and slate bathroom, easily accommodates a double bed and opens to private, elevated deck.

Downstairs a large rumpus with timber flooring and separate laundry, merges with covered veranda, soft lawn, banks of agapanthus and established deciduous trees.

The undulating acreage with its curated and natural spaces of soothing connection, feels unencumbered, profoundly removed from the troubles of the outside world. As you meander past dam and trickling stream, a tennis court appears dreamlike amidst the trees.

The Ridgeway is a small rural enclave, located above Queanbeyan, on the ridge of the Molonglo Nature Reserve. Large homes, sit quietly on leafy acreage, many with tennis courts and most with long tree-lined driveways. Enjoying private access to boundless reserve and Molonglo River, this sequestered, small community, is a mere ten minutes to airport and twenty minutes to the CBD.
