A magnificent Queenslander-style estate offering a masterclass in “wellness-inspired” acreage living. Surrounded by lush gardens and citrus groves, this expansive property, complete with a separate self-contained cottage and heated resort-style pool and spa, provides a private and sophisticated sanctuary for large groups. Located just moments from the beach, it is the ultimate destination for those who value space, style, and the tranquility of a private country retreat.

The Space
From the moment you arrive, the grand presence of this beautifully restored white Queenslander sets a tone of timeless elegance. Set on sprawling private acreage and wrapped in wide, sun-drenched verandahs, Antara House is a sanctuary of calm—a rare blend of relaxed country living and refined coastal proximity. Designed for effortless entertaining and slow, unhurried days, the home has been styled exclusively by The Ancient Wellness Hunter. Every corner features natural textures and vintage details that create an atmosphere of warmth and soul. Whether you are hosting a long, sun-soaked lunch by the pool and hot tub or seeking a quiet moment under the shade of mature trees, this home is built for connection and restoration. At the heart of the home are the expansive living spaces that flow seamlessly to the outdoors. The main residence is designed for flexibility and space, featuring three light-filled downstairs bedrooms—including a master with a private ensuite—and a main bathroom designed for relaxation.

Venture upstairs to find two additional guest rooms, each boasting its own Juliette balcony overlooking the lush greenery. This upper level serves as a true retreat, offering a large open living area and a dedicated reading nook and meditation corner—the perfect spot to embrace the stillness of the Matcham valley.

Beyond the main residence, the property includes a fully self-contained cottage. Perfectly suited for extended family or those seeking extra privacy, this charming space features a queen bedroom, queen sofa bed, an open-plan kitchen and lounge, and its own laundry facilities, ensuring every guest enjoys a sense of total independence.

Perfectly located just ten minutes from the vibrant Central Coast shoreline, Antara House offers the best of both worlds. Guests can spend their mornings in the surf and their afternoons wandering the private estate, which is surrounded by diverse foliage and established citrus groves of lemon, lime, and mandarin.

Whether you’re enjoying long summer afternoons by the resort-style pool, gathering for a meal on the verandah, or simply exploring the verdant gardens and nearby coastal villages, this remarkable acreage offers an unforgettable luxury escape where the country meets the sea.

Neighborhood
Matcham is a prestigious, semi-rural pocket of the Central Coast, offering an exclusive “hinterland” experience just minutes from the shoreline. Characterized by its rolling green hills and expansive acreage estates, it is a neighborhood that prioritizes privacy, space, and a deep connection to nature.

The area is defined by its quiet, sun-drenched valleys and lush landscapes, providing a serene backdrop for those seeking a slower pace of life. While it offers a distinct sense of seclusion and “country-style” calm, Matcham remains remarkably close to the region’s best amenities, including boutique garden cafés, elite schools, and the high-end shopping and dining precincts of nearby Erina.

Homes in Matcham are typically grander in scale, often featuring resort-style facilities and beautifully landscaped grounds that attract families and those looking for a sophisticated rural retreat. Overall, the suburb offers a unique and luxury lifestyle, where the stillness of a private valley sanctuary meets the effortless convenience of the coast.
