Surrounded by wooded hills and boasting views to the horizon, 221 Two Sticks Road is an architecturally designed, award-winning, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Coree on the ACT/NSW border.
Split across three levels, this off-grid family home, constructed from mud brick, provides a lifestyle like no other, with a design that speaks for itself.
“The home’s design is earthy on the outside with the environmentally sustainable mud brick and inside with the timber accents and warm tones. This aesthetic plays to the surrounding bushland, which is the focus of the home,” LJ Hooker Woden/Weston franchise owner Jane Macken says.

The home’s first floor features a large communal dining and living area with timber-accented windows offering views to the Brindabella ranges, as well as three bedrooms.
One of these bedrooms connects to a bathroom, effectively creating a second suite for guests or older teenagers.
“It’s a spectacular home, and the ground floor communal space is the perfect combination of rustic design with modern comforts. The designer knew that the home’s greatest strength was the view, which is brought front and centre whenever possible,” Jane says.
A custom-designed kitchen is the centre of the living space, with a distinctive curved design and plenty of storage; it’s perfect for entertaining.
Each wing of the living area benefits from large voids that take in plenty of natural light.
The first floor of the home is dedicated entirely to the home’s main suite, which has sweeping views of the Brindabellas through large double doors that open to a private balcony.
“The main suite has two massive walk-in robes and two bridges lead across to the ensuite, which is the largest I’ve ever seen,” Jane says.
“The main suite was designed for relaxation, and because of the size of the land and the seclusion, residents can have a bath or shower all while enjoying the view, without worrying about neighbours.”
A staircase leads from the first floor to the second, which is reserved for one of the most stunning spaces in an already exceptional home.
The second floor is dedicated to an oval-shaped office or study area, in a turret-style tower, with 360-degree views to the surrounding countryside through the home’s signature timber-accented windows.
“It belongs in a movie. The second floor is just breathtaking. It’d be a wonderful library or a study space or simply somewhere to relax and enjoy the view,” Jane says.
A small balcony off the study has a spiral staircase leading up to the observation deck on the roof of the office.
“The observation deck is quite high up, and it makes the view that much more amazing. Sitting up there at dusk is a real experience,” Jane says.
Located on 248 hectares (610 acres), this property blends a bush escape with a proper, functional family home.
“The privacy and peace afforded on land of this size is amazing, but it’s not just a holiday home. It would work beautifully as a family property, and a commute into Canberra for professionals is reasonable at 40 minutes,” Jane says.
“You certainly won’t have to worry about bumping into neighbours. It takes seven minutes to go up the driveway.”
Sprawling land, numerous dams and wooded hills are perfect for picnics or bushwalks.
The property is sustainable and off-grid, with a 10,000-litre water tank, solar panels, an automated inverter, and a backup gas generator. The home even received two Master Builder National Environment and Energy Efficiency Awards.
A stunningly unique home, on enough land for complete peace, 221 Two Sticks Road is a one-of-a-kind property.
