The Space
Maison Pirou is a Parisian-influenced country estate of genuine scale and creative ambition, set across manicured grounds in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales and conceived by a renowned Australian designer with a meticulous eye for detail.
The estate announces itself from above, a formal axial garden layout unfolds from the house across croquet lawns, chequerboard marble courtyards, a kitchen garden, a feature lake and fountain and a striking black steel and glass glasshouse that anchors the lower garden as a destination in its own right. A circular fire pit surround with curved stone seating and espalier fruit trees frames the glasshouse approach, creating an outdoor sequence that is as considered and photogenic as anything inside the house.
The exterior presents in French navy and white, a bold and immediately distinctive palette that reads as confidently European against the Southern Highlands landscape. Inside, the designer's hand is visible in every room. Light filled living spaces are anchored by a central double sided fireplace, while the dining atrium frames lake views through full height glazed gable windows. The chef's kitchen opens to the gardens through French doors, with pale blue shaker cabinetry, brass hardware and a cathedral ceiling creating a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. The four bedrooms are whimsically styled with a playful use of pattern, colour and carefully curated artisan pieces and antiques throughout.
Beyond the main residence, the property's newest addition, a Lake House, extends the creative and production possibilities of the estate considerably — adding a distinct and self-contained environment with its own character and outlook across the water.
Outside, love seats beside a grand outdoor fireplace, the intimate l'orangerie, the croquet lawn, hedged greens and the rambling cottage gardens that evoke the English countryside all contribute to an outdoor environment of extraordinary variety and seasonal depth.
For productions and event teams seeking a location that operates at the intersection of European elegance and Australian pastoral beauty, Maison Pirou offers a breadth of environment and a quality of finish that is genuinely rare on the platform.
