An oasis of privacy and exceptional living, this stunning success of contemporary architecture lays claim to 7203m2 of beautifully landscaped grounds. Located on exclusive Jesmond Road, the property boasts over 47m of enviable, private river frontage.
Drawing inspiration from the Hamptons, architect Anthony Pie designed and oriented this magnificent residence to take full advantage of the exceptional elevation and the perfect Northeast outlook toward the river.
The result is a marvel of space and natural light. The main house boasts stunning river views and breezes, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms plus powder room and a myriad of living and entertaining spaces.
Arrival is via a tree-lined drive, past the guest cottage to be welcomed by a striking Jacaranda. The entrance is distinguished by an impressive front door featuring brilliant copper panels. The view of the gardens, waterways and river beyond is immediately captivating.
The formal dining room is of grand proportions and could comfortably seat a table of twenty. It features soaring ceilings and a fireplace. French doors provide views to the grounds and river. A large panel of glass showcases a climate-controlled wine cellar with approximately 1000 bottle capacity.
Adjacent to the foyer, and positioned very privately, is a king-sized guest room and en suite.
The kitchen is centrally located and very well appointed with quality Miele appliances, large pantry and excellent storage. It features rich timber cabinetry and a combination of stainless steel and granite bench tops. Pendant lighting is suspended above the breakfast bar, which comfortably seats five.
Adjoining the kitchen is a casual dining room with fireplace and french doors which open to the pool and gardens. The family/tv room also enjoys the same access and view.
A beautiful guest powder room is conveniently located on this level.
Strategically located down the hall are three queen-sized bedrooms. Each has built-in robes and access to the family bathroom with double vanity and separate shower and toilet.
The upper level accommodates the master bedroom. It boasts large sash windows and a balcony overlooking the river, pool and gardens. The en suite is very spacious and includes a comfortable seat, dual vanity, separate bath, shower and toilet. A w.i.r. completes the master suite.
There are an additional two bedrooms located on this level, which could be utilized as a spacious office, nursery or home gym.
The grounds are visually stunning. Lush grassed areas, beautiful mature trees including jacaranda, maple, magnolia, gum and even lemon trees compliment the beauty of the riverside location. A lovely rose garden, a magnificent 50m herb garden and tranquil ponds are delightful inclusions. The gardens are maintained by 2 huge water tanks with pressure pumps connected to the irrigation system.
The options for outdoor entertaining are endless. With a choice of areas to relax, BBQ and play, the expansive grounds can comfortably support large-scale gatherings and spectacular parties. Private courtyards and terraces provide informal space for lazy Sundays spent reading the paper.
The highlight of the back yard is the 11m sparkling, infinity pool, which is suspended above the river. The property also includes a private pontoon. 12m in length and 3.5m wide, the pontoon provides legal mooring for a 15m x 5m boat.
A three-car garage plus additional guest parking complete the main house.
One of the most significant features of the property is the separate, fully self-contained cottage. A spacious home in its own right, the cottage is ideal for a permanent resident or as a luxury guest suite. It includes a very large living room with huge windows and abundance of natural light. The separate kitchen includes timber cabinetry, granite bench tops and quality appliances. The huge master bedroom has its own balcony, which looks back across the grounds to the main house. A w.i.r. and bathroom with marble inclusions complete the cottage. The cottage also has a single lock up garage.
With more than 47m of serene river frontage and over 7000m2 of spectacular grounds with private pontoon and guest cottage, this home is the ultimate haven of privacy, luxury and relaxation. This is an exceptional opportunity to secure an exclusive lifestyle and a property of distinction.
