20 Del Court, Wongawallan includes a basketball court. It goes to auction May 31.
They swapped Sydney traffic for tree-lined serenity – and never looked back.
For Sharna Marie and her family, their Wongawallan property became the kind of home you never need a holiday from.
Set on over 2.6 acres, the resort-style retreat became a way of swapping chaos for calm and as Ms Marie puts it, that shift started the moment they turned into the street.

“We were living in the hustle and bustle of Sydney, and I was pregnant when we were looking for a home here and searching for a place where our family could grow,” Ms Marie said.
“We drove into the street, and I instantly felt like we were in a different world.
“There was serenity and calm and for a family who works so much we don’t get holidays we decided to create a home that felt we were constantly on vacation.”

They transformed the property into a personal paradise, adding a heated magnesium spa, infinity-edge mineral pool, and a one-of-a-kind sauna for year-round relaxation.
A fully equipped gym, quarter basketball court and sprawling lawns mean there’s something for every age and energy level.
The kitchen.
And with a cinema, wet bar, and multiple alfresco zones, entertaining is effortless – whether it’s kids’ parties or cocktail nights.
“Essentially you never have to leave home again – everything is here,” Ms Marie said.
“And the land is such that even if it’s drizzling rain it’s still magical, with wallabies and deer lining up along the creek – I often tell my kids when they see the deer that Santa is watching you.”
The dining and living area.
Ms Marie said the property ran on natural spring water and a bore was put in when they took over ownership.
“For an area on tank water it is really important to have a bore, and it was like a gold mine to hit it when we first moved in,” she said.
The home itself is designed for multi-generational living, with spacious zones that comfortably accommodate extended family.

From sleek modern finishes to smart home features, every detail blends functionality with style.
Located just 10 minutes from top private and public schools, it offers the convenience of suburbia wrapped in the tranquillity of acreage living.
“I grew up in Oxenford, so this area has always appealed to me,” Ms Marie said.
“It is close enough to everything to be convenient but far enough away to offer complete peace and quiet.”
The property goes to auction on May 31 via Kollosche agents Brad Coyne and Michael Kollosche.
