Model and writer Tara Moss and husband Berndt Sellheim sell Blackheath treechange home for $1.85 million
Model and best selling author Tara Moss has offloaded her Blue Mountains treechange home.
Moss and her writer husband Berndt Sellheim sold their Blackheath house for $1.85 million.
The couple made their tree change to the Blue Mountains suburb two years before daughter Sapphira was born. Moss had married poet and philosophy professor Sellheim in 2009, the same year Canyon Cottage, set on 1.2ha, cost $585,000.
The four-bedroom home built in 2000, took just 16 days to sell earlier this month
It comes with something of a baronial room with bar under a high coffered ceiling.
There are French doors opening to a north facing terrace, and the room is used as a home cinema and dining room.
The kitchen was described as modest but with top-of-the-range Smeg appliances. Facing north, it catches the light all winter long, Richardson & Wrench selling agent Lewis Thyer noted, and has two gas furnaces for its under floor heating system.

There is also a copper drenching system that covers the whole house, fed by a large dam and pump.
“Subtly set back from the road in its sprawling garden surrounds is Canyon Cottage. Cottage is, I must say, quite the understatement, as this home is quite frankly enormous,” the listing read.
Moss, who was born in Canada, has written 13 best-selling fiction and nonfiction books.
Her debut novel, Fetish, written when she was 23, was published in 1999. She’d been a model at age 14 and moved to Australia in 1996.
Blackheath’s median house price sits at $727,000, according to realestate.com.au.
