NSW Police said the man had been shot twice.
Officers were told eight men wearing face coverings entered the home.
Gasoline was poured into the home, but not ignited.
The group then fled the home in two separate vehicles, while another car was parked in the driveway and suffered shotgun damage.
NSW Police believe the incident was targeted and have launched an investigation.
