66 Grants Road, Somersby
IT might be located only an hour from Sydney, but this Somersby estate is so private and secluded that from the moment you come down the long driveway it feels as if you have been transported to another world entirely.
Set on an incredible 4.96ha of lush gardens, the grand property at 66 Grants Rd is an estate in the true sense of the world.
Decked out with everything from a tennis court to its own custom-designed fountain, the home is so luxurious it could put the famous manor estates of the English countryside to shame.
The property consists of a main five-bedroom residence, separate two-bedroom guest’s cottage and first-class leisure facilities.
With lush green surroundings, the home is located on a secluded parcel of land on top of the Somersby Plateau.
The current owner purchased the property back in 1976 as a flower farm. The gardens, which can only be described as otherworldly, have been more than 40 years in the making.
Created by renowned garden designer Michael Cooke, the space is completely secluded and can be enjoyed all year round.

The paddocks also make the property ideal for keeping horses.
The luxury lap pool is adjoined by an inground spa.
The glamorous sandstone paving surrounding the pool creates the ideal spot to enjoy a glass of wine or two on a summer afternoon.
The main property is a sophisticated home with a mix of formal and informal living zones.
