You’ll feel like you’re on a luxury yacht at Gill House, a spectacular riverfront home spanning four levels with lift access.

Each of the four bedrooms comes with an en suite, with the main claiming the entire top floor.

41 Tarrant Drive, Mudgeeraba QLD

A vast, all-weather entertaining terrace cantilevers over the hillside at this architect-designed residence, offering an inspiring Scenic Rim backdrop for all occasions. There’s a sophisticated kitchen overlooking grandly proportioned living spaces and a feature staircase leading to an impressive basement level with a soundproof theatre, climate-controlled wine display and oversized garage.

205 Kooyong Road, Toorak VIC

In a suburb of grand houses, this mega mansion stands out from the pack. Architect Christopher Doyle and designer Sarah Townson have dialled up the glam factor over three chateau-inspired levels. Magnificent formal rooms, a cinema with a built-in bar, a Hollywood-style staircase and a classic terrace impress. The super-sized main-bedroom suite, tennis court, pool and sauna add a resort vibe.

126 Sackville Street, Kew VIC 

Edwardian elegance is combined with a sublime contemporary renovation by Amber Hope Design in this sought-after spot. The formal rooms have an edgy finish, while the family zone is divided into a kitchen-dining space and a sunken lounge with leafy outlooks. The landscaping and pool elevate the offering. “It’s a game changer for larger growing families,” the agent says.

28 Guildford Road, Surrey Hills VIC

Upscale options for multigenerational living are scarce, but this family complex caters for everyone with style. The family room, flanked by greenery on two sides, is the standout. The patio and pool make a bold statement, and there’s a surprisingly large rooftop terrace. The self-contained studio is another winner in what the agent calls a “forward-thinking design”.

74A Back Beach Road, Portsea VIC

Between the front and back beaches, this gleaming coastal retreat is all about chilling out. There are several options for hosting friends for the weekend: Try the light-filled family room, lounge by the pool or recline under one of two undercover decks, depending on how tanned you’d like to be. The self-contained guest house with bunk beds will thrill the kids, and the bar will please the adults. Walk to the beach or village.

7 Katta Avenue, Currumbin QLD

Designed by Paul Uhlmann Architects to make the most of the Currumbin Headland setting, this family retreat is close to schools, shops and the Palm Beach dining precinct. Enjoy expansive north-facing views of the Pacific Ocean, Currumbin Creek, the hinterland and the Gold Coast skyline from each of the four levels, host friends in the self-contained studio, and relax in the spa and pool.

5 Bulkara Road, Bellevue Hill NSW

This light-filled home ticks all the boxes for easy living in Sydney’s coveted eastern suburbs. There is inclinator access from the garage to the house, which wraps around two courtyards and provides seamless indoor-outdoor living. The Arent & Pyke-designed interiors include custom cabinetry, a marble kitchen with a butler’s pantry, and fireplaces in each of the living zones.
