Nestled within the lush acres of Chirnside Park, stands the illustrious Woorarra House, commanding stunning views of the rolling hills and greenery. Melding timeless elegance with contemporary design, the existing farmhouse has been meticulously reimagined into an expansive abode. Characterized by its open-plan layout, breathtaking panoramic vistas imbues each nook and corner with an unmatched sense of splendour. Every nuance of Woorarra House exudes a sense of harmonious coexistence with the environment, artfully capturing the compelling vistas of the natural scenery that abounds. At the heart of the Woorarra House lies the central portal frame structure, inspired by a traditional barn house to create a spacious open living room with an expansive glazed north face and grand cathedral ceiling to maximise the spectacular views and abundant natural lighting. Within the plan, a section of the veranda was deliberately opened up to usher in the landscape, uniting the Woorarra House and the surrounds. From the clean, sleek lines of the modern portal frame to the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, the Woorarra House offers an unrivalled setting for tranquil living.
