The Retreat - Barrington River Estate

Perched high on a ridge in a peaceful rural valley, this architecturally designed home offers some of the most breathtaking views in Gloucester. Framed by rolling mountains and expansive skies, the house is perfectly positioned to capture uninterrupted panoramas across the Barrington Valley.

With the pristine Barrington River flowing through the property, guests enjoy direct access to the riverbank - ideal for picnics, leisurely walks, or a refreshing swim on warm days. Set within dark-sky country, nights are just as memorable as days, with the Milky Way stretching brilliantly overhead in a truly awe-inspiring natural display.

The home has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate its surroundings. Expansive windows and open-plan living spaces draw the landscape inside, while clean architectural lines are softened by natural materials that blend seamlessly with the environment. A spacious outdoor patio invites you to slow down, unwind, and soak in the sweeping views. Inside, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and warm, considered finishes create a space that feels both airy and deeply comfortable.

Sustainability sits at the heart of the property. Built in line with biodynamic principles, the house is completely off grid, powered by solar energy and supported by rainwater tanks and a modern septic system - offering a refined, eco-conscious stay without compromise.

Positioned at the highest point of the property and facing due north, the home captures all-day sunlight while maximising solar efficiency. The result is a beautifully balanced retreat that harmonises modern living with its natural setting.
