More Kidman/Urban news! Real estate buffs down under are confirming that the couple are matching their Tennessee ranch stateside with a 110-acre, $6.5 million version outside Sydney, Australia. Called “Bunya Hill”, the property was originally built in 1878 and features 10 fireplaces, 5 bedrooms, and 5 ensuites. Whoa.

Even better for Kidman, the Georgian Colonial estate is flanked by massive gardens — so she should have no problems putting her new green thumb to work. As this place is naturally setup as a cattle ranch, it requires its fair share of water. We’re not sure if Kidman and Urban are keen to carry on that tradition, but based on specs, this residence is thirsty. According to the listing, Bunya Hill has a high-capacity irrigation system connected to the house gardens, lake, and five dams. In addition, it’s also hooked into the town water system as a backup for the grounds and gardens.

We’re not saying that Kidman will experience any of the water backlash recently splashed onto Celine Dion and Tommy Lee Jones — after all, this is a ranch and not just a residence; but water consumption is going to continue to be a problem in the future for everyone — especially if climate change predictions come to pass and populations rise.
