Peerless Prestige: A Home Like No Other

Stepping into this Don Donnithorne-designed home is like entering an exclusive lodge, a world away from the city though it's only 15 minutes' drive. Beguiling internal views unfold as you explore: little wonder it was House of the Year in 1997.

In the lounge, one of several living areas, a wall of schist meets a vaulted timber ceiling - natural materials lending warmth and permanence. The kitchen is superbly equipped, including both electric and gas cooking. From the adjoining dining room, a covered gangway leads to an outdoor dining pavilion. The media room, with its sun-drenched reading nook, is enticing in any season, while the stone-walled wine cellar is a memorable setting for dinner parties. Another sitting room opens to a central courtyard and the indoor pool, where a magnificent timber ceiling floats above glass. A bar, sauna and spa satisfy creature comforts, stairs providing a link to the luxurious master suite. The office is equipped with a kitchenette, while four further bedrooms accommodate family and guests. Outside, 4,636 sqm of landscaped grounds include four-car garaging and numerous outdoor living spaces.

Exquisite craftsmanship is lavished in every detail of this much-loved home: properties of this magnitude rarely come to market, but after 12 years it is time for the owners to downsize. Don't miss this opportunity. Contact me today to view. Property ID: #PI44876
