I would want to plant trees or some of that tall running bamboo, to soften the appearance of the eyesore around me now and break up the view of the endless houses. They have a beautiful home. I'd try to find some way of giving it a bit more privacy around the perimeter of the property and some landscaping around the house. I realize Australia is a harsh environment in many areas and I have no clue what grows in that region, but I'd try to use plants and trees that are common to the area and work with what grows well. They may be very happy with it the way it is. I'm just thinking out loud about what I'd do.
Family Turns Down $50 Million Offer From Developers That Built Suburb Around Their Property

In a remarkable display of determination and attachment to their home, an Australian family has turned down a staggering $50 million offer from developers who constructed an entire suburb around their property. Despite the enticing offer, the family’s unwavering commitment to their cherished residence prevailed over the allure of financial gain.
The impressive property boasts a 650-foot driveway, enveloped by lush green gardens, offering a panoramic view of the Blue Mountains and a convenient 40-minute commute from Sydney’s city center. Spanning five acres (equivalent to two hectares), this house symbolizes the family’s unwavering determination to remain rooted in their neighborhood amidst external pressures.
In 2012, during the sale of neighboring blocks, the property’s value would have been estimated at approximately $4.75 million, reflecting the prevailing market conditions at that time. Fast forward to the present, experts now project its potential worth around $50 million.
