Amid the idyllic landscape of Kangaroo Valley lies a jewel of architecture: Basset Residence. A modern Mediterranean luxury farmhouse. Designed by Sici Design, this masterpiece combines the best of both worlds: the warm, authentic atmosphere of Mediterranean architecture and the refined convenience of modern living space.
Large windows extend throughout the house, bringing in natural light in a wonderful way and creating an open and airy feeling. The spacious views create a harmonious connection with nature, with the surrounding landscape seeming to be a part of the interior. The combination of raw materials such as concrete, natural stone and wood gives the house not only a tough, robust look, but also a sense of luxury and warmth. Concrete and stone create a timeless, minimalist character, while wooden accents add a sense of homeliness and cosiness. 
This farmhouse comprises four spacious bedrooms, each designed with luxury, comfort and privacy in mind. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom and a generous walk-in wardrobe, ensuring personal space and tranquillity. It is the perfect setting to welcome both residents and guests in style, with all the facilities you could wish for a relaxing stay. The house features three generous living areas, all cleverly arranged for different occasions. Whether you want to relax after a long day, entertain guests, or simply enjoy a cosy evening together, there is always a suitable space. This versatile layout makes the house suitable for any lifestyle, from quiet family days to festive gatherings. One of the most special aspects of Basset Residence is the separate guest wing, specially designed to offer visitors a luxurious and comfortable place. With such welcoming décor, it is easy to celebrate every season and occasion in style.
