Christie’s Luxury Defined – Grand Slam: 6 Homes with Private Tennis Courts

Country Estate in Matcham, New South Wales, Australia 

A joyous interplay of planes and angles, native sandstone and a cool white paint scheme unite in this contemporary take on the traditional Australian country homes of New South Wales. 

The celebrated Sydney architect William Smart of Smart Design Studios nestled the home among the trees on a level, 5.5-acre plot in the coastal bushland.   

Steeply pitched gables and beamed, timber ceilings create the dramatic volumes of the double-height great room and the soaring ceilings of ample, upstairs ensuite bedrooms. There are four en suites and a fifth full bath.  

Casual dining space flows from the white-on-white gourmet-grade island kitchen, with its Caesarstone benches, soft-touch cabinetry, induction appliances and a large separate scullery/butler’s pantry.   

The gardens offer sunny terraces, a fire pit, Miesian blade walls, sweeping level lawns, a sparkling swimming pool, and a tennis court.
