We’ve rounded up our pick of the bunch from across the country’s most luxurious properties.
168-176 Falls Road, Wentworth Falls NSW
Pirramimma could well be heaven on earth for gardeners, botanists and nature lovers. Extending across 1.52 hectares and three titles adjoining a national park, the award-winning garden estate comes with an orchard, water features, sculptures and an ornamental lake, plus a light-filled studio and Japanese-inspired tea house.
Gruyere VIC
The result of a successful 1990s collaboration between restaurateur and arts patron Rinaldo Di Stasio and his good friend, the late architect Allan Powell, this unique country estate celebrates architectural restraint while providing ample space for cooking, entertaining and displaying art. Highlights include a serene, tree-studded courtyard and an impressive pool.
7 Dorking Road, City Beach WA
If your property wishlist includes a prestigious address, water views, a large landholding with a pool and tennis court and, most importantly, an extraordinary architectural residence, Tomich House could be just the ticket. This five-storey, Iwan Iwanoff-designed masterpiece has undergone a professional restoration and is ready to welcome new custodians.
511 Roaring Beach Road, Nubeena TAS
Far from the madding crowd on Tasmania’s Tasman Peninsula, this off-grid residence boasts breathtaking views of Roaring Beach Bay and the surrounding green hills. Showcasing recycled building materials, the home comprises living and sleeping pavilions wrapped in decks and terraces. A spell in the sauna or a soak in the outdoor sunken bath is a great way to end the day.
26 George Street East, Burleigh Heads QLD
Newly completed, The Grove is a Jamison Architects-designed house set a 10-minute walk from the beach. Alongside the two-storey home, which offers living spaces on both levels, you’ll find beautifully landscaped gardens, a north-facing swimming pool and a private courtyard. There’s easy access to Burleigh headland walking tracks and to Tallebudgera Creek.
27 Victory Street, Rose Bay NSW
With magnificent views of the Harbour Bridge, the city and the North Sydney skyline, and close proximity to top schools and village shops, it’s perhaps not surprising that this home has been held by one family for 47 years. Well-appointed with timber joinery and parquetry floors, there’s room to add value with a renovation or rebuild.
584 The Pocket Road, The Pocket NSW
Claiming almost five hectares in the hinterland between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, this recently renovated, Murray Cox-designed residence comes with horse facilities. Original features include the timber beams lining the pitched ceilings, and the stone floors in the kitchen, while updates include oak floors and cabinetry, and a double-sided fireplace to warm the living spaces.
11 Wimbledon Court, Portsea VIC
Spread across a single level with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, this Nicholas Day-designed home is located one kilometre from Shelley Beach. The light-filled kitchen opens via a servery window to a north-facing al fresco zone overlooking the pool and garden, and there’s a tennis court and a large grassed yard out the back.
