The best properties on the market in Sydney and surrounds right now
By Pauline Morrissey and Lou Sweeney
When talking about the joys of indoor-outdoor living and the glory of gardens, this splendid property at 291a Mount Hay Road, Broughton Vale, is a masterclass on the subject.
Near on five hectares of landscaped bliss roll around the lovely home here, with everything from towering trees and meandering creeks to topiary and manicured lawns creating a lush, abundant green heaven.
The locale, carved into the top of an escarpment, adds a layer of peaceful privacy.
“There’s really nothing else like it,” says Bond Lifestyle Properties’ Connor Bond. “Going through the gates along the treed drive and then seeing the gardens – it’s like a rainforest. So good.”

The fine house is perfectly proportioned to draw through those verdant views; they flood in across decks and through plentiful, full-height windows.
The focal point is a fireplace column that separates the expansive living room from the kitchen-family-dining space and from which, Bond says, “everything else flows”.
A coherent floor plan zones the substantial main-bedroom suite on the northern side, and two further bedrooms and a library beyond the living areas make an excellent guest wing.
Walking in the door here, Bond says, feels like “coming home”. The private sale carries a guide of around $3 million.

With sculptural curves and sweeping views over Sailors Bay, this grand waterfront residence features bespoke interiors by Poco Designs and impresses with its remarkable scale. “The dining area exudes luxury thanks to its generous proportions, while the laundry stands out for its smart functionality,” the agent says. “But the white spiral staircase steals the show, gracefully connecting each level and echoing the exterior’s curvy shape.”

Ornate ceilings catch the morning light while leadlight windows glimmer like vintage jewellery in this Federation-era residence rich in presence and poise. “Spanning two grand levels, the home enjoys a prized north-east aspect and sweeping views over Woodford Bay,” the agent says. “Expansive living areas spill onto broad verandahs and landscaped gardens, where a hidden swimming pool completes this private, serene sanctuary.”

There’s a calming magic to this mid-century marvel: sunlight spills through floor-to-ceiling glass that opens out to the lawn and pool. “The owners love curling up in front of the fire in the main living room,” the agent says. “They adore the atrium garden glimpsed from the sloping hallway to the bedrooms. Many parties have unfolded here, including a Mad Men-themed 50th that made it feel like Palm Springs.”
