About this space

Perched in the heart of Kangaroo Valley and surrounded by sweeping escarpment views, Saddle Ridge is a breathtaking 42-acre estate where refined luxury meets untamed Australian beauty. Once home to the ‘Lazy Acres’ horse riding school, the property has been reimagined into a secluded, production-ready haven—offering expansive outdoor settings, elegant interiors, and total privacy just minutes from the township and two hours from Sydney.

This is a shoot location built for scale and storytelling. With five spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms across two levels, Saddle Ridge provides ample room for production crews, talent, and styling teams to work in parallel. Each zone is carefully designed for flow and flexibility, allowing for a wide range of setups—from lifestyle campaigns and family editorials to film productions and TVCs.

Natural light pours into the living areas throughout the day, illuminating the home’s generous proportions and anchoring its calm, contemporary aesthetic. From open lounges to layered outdoor spaces, every element of the home complements its bushland surrounds while maintaining a polished, elevated finish.

Step outside and the estate expands into a natural amphitheatre of cinematic potential. The heated swimming pool, flanked by sun loungers and an outdoor powder room, offers resort-style elegance with escarpment views as your backdrop. A freestanding gazebo and BBQ area are nestled into the landscape—ideal for long-table setups, lifestyle content, or slow, golden-hour storytelling. An alfresco fire pit and indoor wood-burning fireplace offer atmospheric focal points year-round.

Bordering more than 200 hectares of untouched bushland, Saddle Ridge is shielded from the outside world—giving you the creative space and silence to focus. Whether you’re shooting product, talent, or wide aerials, the location’s layered topography and unspoiled surroundings deliver a visual richness that elevates any frame.

With Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and ample indoor and outdoor amenities, Saddle Ridge is designed to support high-end productions while offering the ease and comfort of a private retreat.
