From the moment you pass through the automatic security gates of this magnificent acreage property you can sense that this is a unique home. The semi-circular driveway takes you to the Porte-cochere where the rich timber double doors open into the travertine and marble tiled entrance hallway. To the right of the hallway is an impressive office which is set up with all the latest technology and to the left you pass the sunken lounge with its glowing aged French oak wide board flooring and the separate formal dining room to the heart of this elegant home, the kitchen and family area.
The kitchen is a masterpiece, constructed with two pac cabinetry with Galaxy Black granite benches, and offering everything a professional chef would desire – built-in Miele oven, microwave and coffee machine, an Ilve gas range, a triple fridge and a filtered water system. Just off the kitchen is a butler’s pantry which has even more cupboard space for storing utensils, and contains a dishwasher and sink.
Adjacent to the kitchen and informal living area is a fully fitted library, and a rumpus room with wet bar.
This home boasts the ultimate in home cinemas, fully automatic with a huge curved screen, state-of-the-art surround sound, and two tiers of plush seating.
The main house has seven bedrooms in total, five of them with ensuites and the other two bedrooms sharing a bathroom. The master bedroom is sheer luxury, incorporating a sitting area, huge walk-in robes and a sumptuous ensuite featuring travertine flooring, twin wash-hand basins on marble bench-top and a double shower with double rain shower heads.
A covered walkway leads from the kitchen/ living area to a fabulous pavilion which is the focus of the outdoor sport and entertaining precinct. The pavilion is an enormous party room with a full bar, a snooker table, a climate controlled wine cellar, a gymnasium and adjoining bathroom. The whole pavilion opens out through sliding doors to a 24 metre pool with covered sitting area, built-in barbecue and pizza oven, and adjoining sauna on one side, and full-size floodlit tennis court and cabana on the other side.
Within the two and a half acre grounds is a separate caretaker residence with one bedroom, lounge and kitchen, which would be ideal for teenager or grandparents or guests.
There is garaging for nine cars plus a large workshop.
This is a magnificent home, fully air-conditioned, immaculately presented and maintained to the highest standard.
