Defying the mundane, this grand family estate defines what it is that so many examples of contemporary Australian architecture lack…..

A team of 6 – 9 builders worked tirelessly for 9 months to put in place what the visitors eye can barely register – absolute architectural integrity for this structure from the foundations up. According to the owner, this is just the first unique feature of this home that gives it few contemporary peers.

Rising from those foundations is a grand residence over three levels that makes the most of its regal position on the spine of the Sunrise Beach Ridge. It’s an elegant and sophisticated landmark that is effortlessly superior. There are a delightful range of thoughtful architectural elements and design innovations throughout. Yet all are anchored in the classic grace and style you might find in iconic buildings in Europe or the U.K.

The mezzanine level of the home is devoted to curving lines and angular elevations. A sweeping bank of French doors and windows contain the sheer scale of the ocean panorama. Soaring above, the raked cathedral ceiling is rises dramatically into a dome, competing for attention. Adjacent to this is the dining area and unique circular kitchen. French doors flung open draw the visitor to a huge entertaining terrace with nautical flair, a new dimension where home is now prow and the sweep of the horizon beckons.

At ground level there’s a dedicated gymnasium with viewing windows and mirrors, private cinema, guest room, wine cellar, living space and entertaining bar with kitchen facilities. More French doors lead onto the terrace, superbly maintained gardens and gated access to the pool. The land is a generous 1124m2, it descends via tiers of landscaped gardens to the oasis below at the pool.

Ascension to the uppermost level finds four well proportioned bedrooms. Each offer a compelling feature, from lofty roof lines to hinterland views. The main bedroom is an ideal retreat with opulent bathroom, twin spa, interior garden beds and private balcony. A visit to this residence reveals a suite of possibilities and astute abundance. There’s an indefinable aura of ‘classic authenticity’ rarely seen on the Australian residential landscape, it`s timeless in its appeal.
