Last Listing description (April 2024)

A residence with class and elegance, gated courtyard entry and customised antique doors all set the scene for this estate-like residence which flows directly onto a championship golf course.

Architecturally redesigned by Architects Ring and Associates the home offers grand living spaces and loads of natural light captured through extensive floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the Paul Bangay-inspired gardens and the Federal Golf Course and beyond. The home also provides a seamless inside to outside transition perfect for entertaining.

Exquisite marble flooring, hydronic heating and a north-easterly aspect create an environment comfortable enough for shorts and a t-shirt all year round. With the bonus of prolific native wildlife and formal gardens just beyond the windows, it adds up to luxury holiday vibes 24/7 and yet is just minutes from the parliamentary triangle and CBD.

A two-storey annexe to the main home is currently in use as a full professional business suite/ office complete with its own multi-car parking and entry, a top-floor executive office with mountain views, plus an outer office capable of accommodating three workstations, and a bathroom. This area could easily be adapted and used as 2 further bedrooms. Downstairs, a kitchenette, reception space, meeting room and second bathroom complete a highly functional floorplan that could be adapted for multigenerational living or a live-in au pair or housekeeper.

The primary portion of the residence is luxuriously appointed with amazing bespoke features geared for entertaining up to 80 people. A transparent bottle wine library separates the intimate formal lounge from the Great Room's formal dining zone, but there's the bonus of a 1000-bottle custom cellar and tasting space on the lower-ground level where a full theatre, games room, bar and powder room are also found: complete with a dedicated golf cart garage to top things off.

The main floor kitchen is a triumphant, sunny space crowned with a 3m protectively sealed Calacatta Marble-topped island, premium appliances, a well-designed butler's pantry and adjacent meals area.
All of the four king-sized bedrooms open to the outdoors. One accesses a private courtyard, and has an ensuite. The master retreat incorporates a custom walk-through dressing room, enormous dual rainfall shower and unique moulded-glass double sinks.

Known locally as 'The Resort' for its glamorous appearance and premium drive-on golf-course access, this very special green-belt home is close to top schools, Woden Town Centre, Canberra Hospital and the Deakin medical precinct.
