Erina Valley home includes incredible elevated pool
This recently rebuilt home nestled in a valley among gumtrees includes an incredible elevated pool that the owner said felt like you were floating above the acreage.
Nestled in the hidden gem pocket of the Erina Valley, this recently rebuilt acreage at 22 Portsmouth Rd, Erina is as unique as it is beautiful.
Owner Suzanne Blanchflower said that she was ‘blown away’ the minute she laid eyes on the home.
“I am selling reluctantly because I need to be closer to Sydney. The house has been amazing — the owners before me did all the work renovating,” she said.

Extensively rebuilt with a great deal of attention to the functionality of the floor plan, the house is made up of quality materials including Italian floor tiles throughout the ground level, marble bench tops, 2Pak cabinetry and high-end stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen and bathrooms with textured tiles and volcanic rock bowl sinks.
The openness and warmth of the home is another element that Ms Blanchflower fell in love with.
“As soon as I walked in, the view was spectacular and it had a lovely light and sunny feel,” she said.
“The house looks onto gum trees and in winter the morning sun is just beautiful. The indoor outdoor feel is seamless.”
Inside the front foyer, arrived to an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area that flows to a covered outdoor entertainment area with travertine tiled flooring and glass fencing to the pool area.
The pool is heated, has internal lighting and a self-cleaning system.
“The pool blows me away — it is in-ground but elevated, so it feels like you’re floating,” Ms Blanchflower said.
There is also an attached studio, with built-in shelving, a bathroom and separate access plus DA approval for an extension, which would attach to the studio and provide for additional outdoor living, a billiard room, home office, cellar and a carport.

The quiet, private and relatively unknown location is renowned for horse riding and there would be plenty of room to bring in horses and build a dressage arena on cleared land.
“This was supposed to be my forever home and I hope another buyer loves it is much as I do,” Ms Blanchflower said.
“My daughter and grandson have stayed here, and the house comes alive with a family in it.”
No. 22 Portsmouth Rd, Erina is for sale via Stephen Gittoes and Ingrid Osborn from Gittoes East Gosford and has a price guide of $1.9-$2.09 million.
