24 Queens Avenue

Mount Wilson NSW 2786

Set high in the beautiful rainforest enclave of Mt Wilson, the spectacular location of this 1.4 acre property is the first of many things that will take your breath away. Positioned on a shady avenue laced with cherry blossom in spring, Overcote boasts the perfect trifecta that is rare in the area: an architect-designed residence surrounded by a magnificently landscaped garden, which also offers an unrivalled outlook featuring views that extend all the way to Sydney.
The evolution of this house & garden was a labour of love for a couple for whom architecture, landscape & interior design was not simply a profession, but also a passion. In their toolkit was a lifetime's experience in creating beautiful spaces, with items gleaned from far-flung places they'd explored. There is an emphasis on living areas to share, as well as peaceful getaway nooks that give respite from life's fast pace.
Windows are a star attraction in the building's design, with every lovely outlook filled with the four-season garden, framed by views of volcanic caps and national park escarpments. Perched on the lee of a ridgetop facing East, the landscape cascades away to Mt Tomah, Mt Hay and the twinkling lights of the Cumberland plain beyond. It is an awe-inspiring vista, glimpsed from every room.
