Tim Minchin buys Kangaroo Valley weekender

Film directors George Miller and his wife Margaret Sixel have emerged as the $4.35 million buyers of Willabrook, the Upper Kangaroo River ­retreat of INXS guitarist Tim Farriss and wife Beth.
Farriss, who ­founded INXS in Sydney in 1977, listed it two years ago after three decades ownership. The property ­initially had an asking price of $4.5m to $4.9m and later had a guide of $4.3m to $4.5m.
The 37ha Upper River ­cattle farm off a country lane features a 1920s five-bedroom homestead, plus two one-bedroom cottages, that were let at $350 a night.
There’s also a self-contained manager’s cottage, vegie garden and a private, clear, deep water swimming hole.
The marketing by Belle Property listing agent Nick Dale suggested the land is reminiscent of a Harry Sutton Palmer landscape painting.
It comes with a private river flat that forms a natural island and is surrounded by the waters of Kangaroo River, complete with billabongs and grassy banks.
The Shoalhaven farm, which has averaged a 30 ­breeder carrying capacity, had been featured on Better Homes &amp; Gardens.
Its sale price ranks as the second highest at Upper Kangaroo River with $7.35m paid in 2018 for a 220ha ­holding.

Erawar, the yurt home at Kangaroo Valley, has been sold for $2.41 million, amid a spurt in sales at the popular weekender destination.
Redesigned in 2000 by Ian McKay with jarrah and oregon, the home (pictured above), which sold through Frank Barker at Raine &amp; Horne, is fitted with soffit sprayers for bushfire protection.
The outbuildings on the 10ha holding include a yoga studio. It is credited as the first Iyengar yoga ­studio in the valley conducted by Susan Rowntree-Robertson.
Mount Scanzi Road’s other sales have included the 3ha property of Aniela Kos, the founder of Galeria Aniela, for $1.7 million. Last traded for $109,000 in 1992, it was sold by South Coast Prestige Properties agent Carrie Bond. Guests have included Sir David Attenborough.

Kangaroo Valley’s latest offering is Sky Ridge (pictured above), the $800 a night black barn tourist accommodation premises designed by Alexander Michael.
Its $2.25 million listing comes after the recent death of Michael’s partner, the acclaimed jeweller Tony White, who maintained an 85 ha retreat at Upper Kangaroo River.
There are whispers that hospitality industry recruiter, Rick Harasty, is set to move to the valley after selling his Bondi Beach penthouse which has a $7 million guide for its August 22 ­auction.

The Midnight Oil frontman and ex-politician Peter Garrett and his wife Doris have sold in Paddington and bought back at Kangaroo Valley after an extended absence.
Their <a href="https://www.bresicwhitney.com.au/buy/50-gordon-street-paddington-20014" target="_blank">Gordon Street home</a> (above) on 238 sqm fetched $5.25 million, a record price for the street.  
The couple bought the rundown three-bedroom terrace in 2015 for $2.7 million.
Their renovations included a new rear double garage with a studio apartment above.
They have bought a $1.2 million, 4000 sqm Kangaroo Valley property. The Tuscan-inspired Hartland, with three bedrooms and a separate studio/garage, was a holiday rental before it was sold by the Patrick family.
With natural rainforest, the purchase was made two years after they sold their <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/53090-peter-garrett-finally-sells-rowe-in-mittagong" target="_blank">Mittagong retreat for $2.8 million.</a>
The Garretts had been based at the 5.8 hectare Mittagong estate since they sold their Balgowlah home for $585,000 in 1995, when they had a weekender at Kangaroo Valley in the Shoalhaven.
