Perched atop a sweeping circular driveway, fringed by a stately porte-cochère and an elegantly arched, wraparound verandah, welcome to the picture-perfect family paradise you’ve been longing for. Nestled in the peaceful Gold Coast hinterland, its sense of grandeur is immediately apparent as you glide through the gated entry. Positioned at the heart of a lush, five acres of usable land, no expense has been spared during the renovation of this exceptional 1,142m2 residence, first built for a Malaysian Prince in the 1970’s, and now has been transformed into a unique and unrivalled family home.
Main Residence
Boasting lashings of glamour through its flawless finishes and distinctive, alluring interiors, the marble foyer sets the tone for the enchantment which lays in wait. You’ll adore the sunken lounge, adorned by an original Swarovski crystal chandelier which is draped from the hand-pressed horsehair ceiling, as well as the vibrant living room, which is packed with personality. The bold, banana-leaf wallpaper ensures the room oozes warmth and style, while in the formal dining room, showcased by its striking light fittings, ornate domed ceiling and gold, geometric wallpaper, you’ll look forward to hosting grand gatherings, with the temperature-controlled wine cellar within easy reach.
The gourmet kitchen also echoes the distinct style of the home. With its showpiece, supersized marble island bench, pristine herringbone floors and custom range hood, it’s also complemented by Miele appliances and butler’s pantry. Highlighted by crisp white panelled walls and a coffered ceiling embellished with rich timber beams, this is where the whole family will want to congregate and linger a while in conversation.
Families are also well catered for with the bedrooms. All are ensuited and enjoy views of the idyllic gardens, lawns and natural bushlands, which encase the home. The spacious master suite will also prove to be the ultimate sanctuary, boasting two walk-in robes, a dramatic stone ensuite plus a private terrace with hinterland views, ideal for soaking up afternoon sunsets.
