An Architectural Statement in a World of Its Own

Seven acres of extraordinary beauty. A residence of distinction. A lifestyle beyond compare.

There are homes that capture your attention, and then there are homes that leave a lasting impression. “Chipperfield” is one such property, a truly individual residence on the edge of Orange.

Spanning approximately seven acres of breathtaking gardens and serene rural surrounds, “Chipperfield” is a residence of remarkable individuality, where architecture, craftsmanship and nature come together in beautiful harmony. Designed and built in 1981, the home is an expression of considered design and enduring character with solid Oregon beams, Tasmanian celery pine and distinctive architectural details creating warmth and atmosphere throughout. The sunken living room, centred around an impressive pink granite fireplace, is a striking feature, complemented by a second slow-combustion fireplace, underfloor heating, three bedrooms and a dedicated study.

Beyond the residence, established gardens, mature European trees and fruit trees and native plantings create a magnificent natural setting, where privacy and tranquillity are part of everyday life. A 13-metre swimming pool with solar heating provides the perfect place to unwind, while the established vineyard of 500 Merlot, Malbec and Riesling vines which is managed at present, introduces an entirely different dimension to country living. Imagine wandering through your own vineyard as the seasons change, watching the vines flourish, and experiencing the remarkable journey from grape to glass.

Complementing the property is an excellent water supply of bore water, substantial water storage and a 6.6kW solar system provide valuable infrastructure, a double garage and close by, a three-bay farm shed, vineyard shed and garden shed. It is the combination of architectural presence, natural beauty and an extraordinary lifestyle offering that gives “Chipperfield” its unmistakable identity.

Located in the historic Canobolas district, south of Orange and on the slopes of Mount Canobolas, “Chipperfield” enjoys a setting rich in local heritage. This is an area of particular significance, being where the famous Granny Smith apple was first developed commercially.

An exceptional rural sanctuary, where architecture and nature come together to create something truly memorable.
