About this property
Black Cockatoo - Secret Garden Mountains Home
Our mountains home is nestled high in the tree tops. Gorgeous views, and lots of bird life.
Spacious, with a distinctive mountains feel. You'll relax in our totally private, natural setting, and large, peaceful gardens and backyard.
All just a short walk from Katoomba Street, or a short drive to Leura, the Three Sisters and other beautiful parts of the Blue Mountains National Park.
The house is perfect for your Mountains getaway. Totally private, spacious with peaceful views from the large outdoor deck (with firepit) and three balconies.
We are child and pet friendly!
The two living spaces and large entertainers kitchen provides you with plenty of room to relax and unwind.
The walk up the driveway and two flights of stairs is worth the trip as you arrive at the large front deck nestled in the trees.
There is lots of room for the kids to run around both in and outside the house.
Everything in the house connects beautifully. The kitchen and dining room open up to the back deck nestled next to the Bali inspired garden.
The adjacent block is perfect for the kids or dog to run around in, or simply to relax amongst the trees.
Please note that the only access to our treetop house is via two flights of stairs and our driveway (Please see pictures). Not recommended for people with mobility constraints.
