East so effortlessly meets west in this bespoke residence on 1212m2 of absolute riverfront land with 15m frontage and pontoon approval. Built over three levels, the timeless, contemporary style has been infused with just a hint of Balinese exotica providing a relaxed, resort-like ambiance that lends itself so well to the exclusive riverfront locale.
This is apparent from the outset with the long, covered timber walkway providing an elevated course to the front door through lush subtropical plantings and tranquil pools of running water that are as spectacular during the day as when illuminated at night. Such is the excellence of the design, the calming sounds of water can be heard from nearly every room within the home creating a peaceful ambiance throughout.
Inside, the residence is just as visually exciting, with sleek lines and designer finishes forming a stunning backdrop to the unrestrained views over the pool, entertainment areas and the far-reaching expanse of river beyond. The streamlined kitchen occupies one entire wall and is big on space and functionality, yet still manages to look the part with banks of sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances resulting in a minimalist, clean finish.
Surrounded by space for indoor and outdoor dining as well as two separate living zones, there really is room for everyone to gather and interact while maintaining their own space. The emphasis on individual zones is carried through to the home’s bedrooms with the three main rooms occupying their own floor, allowing for each to have their own ensuite, walk-in robe, private sitting room and in the case of the top floor master suite – panoramic river views. The guest accommodation also adheres to this design principal, located in the entirely separate riverside boat shed complete with powder room and private outdoor dining area. Around the property further features of note include a riverside boardwalk, humidified wine cellar, study, full security and a separate studio or gym.
With a creek running along one side of the property ensuring an outlook of nothing but lush tropical gardens and those expansive river views the home maintains an exceptionally high level of privacy and engenders the feeling that the property could easily be positioned on any far-flung island. It is this vibe, as well as the tropical, resort-like ambiance that sets this residence apart, creating an exotic riverfront playground just 6km from the CBD.
