The Space
Set on an awe-inspiring stretch of land along the Wollondilly River, Riversend Estate is a heritage property that seamlessly blends history, luxury, and breathtaking natural beauty, making it an exceptional backdrop for film, photography, and high-end productions. Dating back to 1838, this working cattle farm and horse breeding estate offers an abundance of architectural charm, manicured gardens, and picturesque landscapes that transport you to another era.
The homestead is a stunning example of historic Australian colonial architecture, with a grand stone façade, deep verandahs, and a classic pitched metal roof, evoking an air of timeless elegance. Inside, warmly layered interiors with vintage furnishings, a traditional country kitchen with an AGA stove, and an intimate drawing room with a gold-gilded mirror and open fireplace create the perfect setting for period dramas, editorial shoots, and refined brand campaigns.
Beyond the main house, the renovated weatherboard cottage provides an additional versatile backdrop, ideal for more rustic, countryside-inspired storytelling. The estate’s landscaped gardens, masterfully designed by Michael Bligh, flow effortlessly from formal, manicured spaces to the untamed beauty of the river's edge. The parterre garden, stables, orchard, and expansive grounds offer endless visual depth, perfect for fashion editorials, lifestyle shoots, or equestrian-themed productions.
One of the most striking features of Riversend Estate is the Tuscan-style 22m x 8m swimming pool, an enchanting space that feels straight out of the Italian countryside. Surrounded by stone walls, towering cypress trees, and lush greenery, this setting is perfect for high-end fashion campaigns, luxury brand shoots, and film sequences with an old-world European aesthetic. A private lake and full-sized tennis court add to the estate’s grandeur, making it an unmatched location for cinematic storytelling and premium visual content.
Riversend Estate is more than just a location; it is an immersive world of history, refinement, and natural beauty. With its sprawling grounds, stately architecture, and unmatched production versatility, it offers an unparalleled setting for those looking to create something truly extraordinary.
