Positioned in one of the area's most desirable locations

'Whispering Pines' (c1898) is a landmark family estate positioned in one of the area's most desirable locations, standing on the escarpment at the point where the Wentworth Falls waterfall plunges 300 metres into the Jamieson Valley and adjoining the Blue Mountains National Park. The name derives from the stately one hundred year old pines and Himalayan Cedars that stand proudly in these extensive gardens of approximately 3.9 acres, complete with lawns, fountains, lawn terrace and productive vegetable gardens.
The residence, originally known as 'Chalet Fontanelle', was built as a Blue Mountains summer house for the Childe family of North Sydney in 1898, and designed in a Swiss alpine chalet style by the English architect Jeaffreson Jackson. This instantly impressive residence features a two street frontage and is embraced by a thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained garden, filled with many exquisite plantings, meandering pathways, stone walls and unique trees. Complete with a separate pavilion and peaceful sitting areas scattered throughout the grounds.
The timeless interiors are elegantly appointed throughout - featuring high ornate ceilings, an array of stunning timber floorboards and French doors that lead out to the wide verandahs and gardens. There are both formal and casual living areas with fireplaces and an abundance of glass, generous formal dining room with fireplace and French doors leading out to the verandah, creating an enticing entertaining space. The generous country style kitchen has excellent storage and a butler's pantry at the rear.
The beautifully presented double bedrooms offer warm, inviting aesthetics with luxury ensuites and built-in robes. The master suite includes a private sitting room, three fireplaces, corner spa bath and French doors opening to the verandah.
- Currently configured as four double bedrooms with private sitting rooms, but very easily reestablished as six double bedrooms
- Two wood fireplaces and two gas fireplaces plus hydronic heating
- 100,000 litre underground water tank, pure spring bore water and irrigation system
- Stunning timber windows throughout with leadlight features
