A Literary Legacy Meets Architectural Elegance! After publishing her best-selling novel The Thorn Birds, author Colleen McCullough designed and built this extraordinary residence as her personal sanctuary-a place that balanced proximity to New York with the peaceful seclusion of forested hills and a gently flowing brook. Nestled at the end of a winding private drive, the home welcomes you with a grand foyer leading to a stunning central atrium terrace. Flanking this terrace are two expansive master suites-each its own private retreat, complete with en-suite baths and living areas. A graceful marble staircase ascends to a gallery overlooking the foyer, opening into a breathtaking 72-foot-long living room with soaring ceilings and panoramic southern views. Its unique layout creates multiple cozy vignettes: gather around the fireplace, enjoy music in the raised alcove, host guests on the small marble dance floor, or step onto the 920 sq ft open-air deck to soak in the natural beauty of the 10.66-acre grounds.This estate offers 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a rare blend of comfort, style, and literary history! With 3 parking spaces, this one-of-a-kind home is a timeless masterpiece waiting for its next chapter. Great potential for family compound or investment property. A little TLC will go a long way!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
