TV host Samantha Armytage has taken her renovation game to new heights, diving headfirst into a 1960s-built gem in the heart of Moss Vale, nestled in the picturesque NSW Southern Highlands. Since snapping up the delightful three-bedroom home in March 2024, Sam’s been rolling up her sleeves to give it a modern glow-up. Most recently, a fresh new roof has been added, signalling exciting things ahead.

The property, described as a renovator’s dream just waiting for someone to “unlock the potential”, had plenty of charm to begin with. Timeless design, expansive picture windows that showcase lush garden vistas, a charming pond and even an adorable birdhouse straight out of a fairytale. Whether those quirks will stay or get a Samantha-approved twist remains a mystery – but either way, it’s bound to shine.

This fixer-upper comes with a touch of personal history for Samantha. It’s just a stone’s throw from her former Berrima farm, where she lived with equestrian businessman Richard Lavender before the couple announced their separation in 2024. But Sam’s moving forward – and making bold choices along the way.

The renovation isn’t the only shake-up in Samantha’s life. Last year, she decided to take her stunning Hyams Beach home off the market and step away from hosting Farmer Wants a Wife on Channel 7. Instead, she’s embarking on a new adventure with The Golden Bachelor on Channel 9, set to air in 2025. Talk about a new chapter.
When it comes to property, Samantha is no stranger to turning hidden potential into showstoppers. Back in 2020, she sold her Burrawang weekender for $3.1 million and her North Bondi home for $3.15 million. She also holds onto a Rushcutters Bay waterfront apartment, picked up for $1.5 million in 2021. Clearly, she knows a good investment when she sees one.

As we eagerly wait to see how she transforms this Moss Vale beauty, we can only imagine the character, charm and sophistication Samantha will bring to her latest project.

Will the pond and birdhouse make the cut? Will she lean into nostalgic vibes or opt for a sleek modern touch? Time will tell – and we’re eagerly awaiting every detail.
