The Space

Step into The Matilda, a rare 1893 heritage-listed homestead offering timeless character across 10 acres of open pasture, established gardens, and sweeping elevated outlooks. Just one hour from Sydney, this four bedroom location blends authentic 19th-century charm with modern functionality — making it an exceptional canvas for film, television, commercials, period storytelling and contemporary creative work.

Inside, the home features original open fireplaces, stunning wide floorboards, 10-foot ceilings, and French doors that spill out to 3-metre verandas wrapping the residence. Every room offers natural texture, warmth, and historical detailing that reads beautifully on camera, while the updated kitchen and generous living spaces provide practical comfort for crew, talent, and production setups.

The surrounding grounds are equally cinematic: established hedges, mature trees, exotics and natives thriving in volcanic soil, and the constant ambience of bellbirds. The renovated pool area, complete with a sheltered large architecturally designed studio that has extra sleeping, cooking and bathroom facilities, adding another versatile backdrop for lifestyle, editorial, or event-style filming. Three main paddocks, creek-fed irrigation, and wide-open rural views make The Matilda ideal for drone work, large-scale setups, and exterior sequences needing authentic Australian countryside.

Additional highlights include shedding plus solar power for efficient operation on longer shoots.

With its rich history, expansive grounds, and extraordinary architectural character, The Matilda is a rare and adaptable hero location ready to support productions of every scale.
