Take a peek inside this dream home at 6/217 Oak Road, Matcham.
A sensational designer residence on 1.02ha in Matcham’s highly sought after ‘Ferneries’ has come to market for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The four-bedroom property designed by Sydney architect Gregory Clark features plenty of luxury touches including a fireplace personally crafted by The Block’s Darren Palmer.

In addition it has secluded entertaining spaces, a spectacular 15m swimming pool, an orchard, home theatre and a gym.
The fireplace was designed by Darren Palmer.
Listed with McGrath Terrigal’s Trevor Hamilton, 6/217 Oak Road has a $4m guide and is being offered to buyers via private treaty.
Mr Hamilton said “Bangalow House” was unique from other properties in the coveted Ferneries estate.
“Each home in the estate is very different from each other, but this one feels like a private tropical oasis that evokes emotion,” he said.
“There is beautiful use of timber and natural products throughout that give the home an elegant feel.”
The home theatre is one of the many rooms that have pieces of art.
Bungalow House feels more like an art gallery at times with endless pieces of commissioned art displayed in most rooms. This is notably present in the central open plan living and dining area that has a gourmet kitchen with a stylish white splashback and butler’s pantry.
Off the kitchen is a piece of “art” that fans of the television show, The Block, will love — a fireplace created by judge Darren Palmer.
“The fireplace was his design and he worked with the owners to come up with the concept himself,” Mr Hamilton said.
The property is designed around a central open plan living/dining room.
The ensuite bathroom is pretty impressive.
Surrounding the open plan living area are three wings — two for sleeping and one with a home theatre, gym and double garage.
The main bedroom has a dedicated wing that features a glorious ensuite, two walk-in wardrobes and a deck, while the other has three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes.
There are multiple outdoor entertaining spaces including around the infinity pool that overlooks bushland and manicured lawns.

The property has a lake with a wharf, water lilies and 100-year-old carp. Additionally, there is an orchard, vegetable garden and a billiards room.
Bungalow House has been well received since it came to market a fortnight ago, with Mr Hamilton reporting interest has come solely from buyers looking to leave Sydney.
“They’re looking to buy something that is private and exclusive that no one else has,” he said.
A house owned by Clean Health Fitness founder Daine McDonald was the last property to sell in the Ferneries estate in Matcham — selling north of $4m in January.
