Property Portrait This luxurious 2,638 sqm four level landmark mansion sits proudly on a 1,965 sqm peninsula point land holding and boasts a magnificent 78 metre water frontage onto a private harbour in the exclusive Sanctuary Cove resort. Located in a premier position at the end of a quiet cul de sac and surrounded by prestige homes, this exceptional home has been carefully designed to provide extensive indoor and outdoor living spaces which take full advantage of the sensational views of the tranquil harbour, the main river and the hinterland ranges in the distance. The Streetscape and Entry A visual appreciation of the design begins in the approach from Bayside Close. A formal gate house and strikingly artistic pedestrian and driveway gates afford some privacy but allow a glimpse of the house from the street. The proportions and aesthetics of the home become evident as you enter through the gates to an impressive Porte Cochere which provides a dramatic entry point for the home (Photo 1). The Ground Floor At the entry to the residence, large metal framed glass doors open onto an antique brown granite floored entry foyer. Just off the entry foyer, a wide granite slab staircase wraps around an internal lift which is central to the home and services all four levels. Directly off the formal entry hall lies a spacious formal living area with double sided gas fireplace and an adjacent formal dining room, a glass walled wine cellar and a fully equipped wet bar. Ornate inlaid ceilings and granite flooring add an impressive air of elegance to these rooms. To the right of the foyer, are the casual living room, the meals area and a beautifully designed and executed dress kitchen boasting European appliances and a large walk in pantry (Photos 3 and 4). All these spaces lead onto an expansive 329 sqm waterfront entertaining terrace through bi-folding glass doors. This terrace area includes an impressive fully tiled 25 metre temperature controlled pool, informal sitting and dining areas, a teppanyaki bar as well as a full outdoor kitchen facility. This area is fully enclosed with fixed and motorized screening to allow for maximum comfort throughout the seasons (Photo 2). The left of the entry leads to a large study with built in cabinets as well as the guest quarters comprising a double king size bedroom, ensuite and custom designed walk in robe. This suite has direct access to the waterfront entertainment terrace through sliding glass panel doors (Photo 5). Located across from the study is a guest bathroom with steam room which services the pool and acts as a changing room. An additional powder room is also located in this area., A maid s quarter comprising a bedroom, bathroom and dressing room and a nearby laundry complete the ground floor. The First Floor On the first floor, a magnificent master suite with a massive and custom fitted wardrobe, luxurious master ensuite and a spacious sitting area with gas fireplace and a large screen TV provides a perfect private retreat for the owners of this superb home. Also on this level there are two additional king size bedroom suites each boasting its own luxurious marble bathroom and custom dressing room. All three suites open to a huge 306 sqm fully screened waterfront balcony, providing outdoor sitting areas to each of the bedrooms and offering expansive north and north-west views over the water. The Roof Terrace The 595 sqm roof terrace with its artificial grass surface provides a superb outdoor entertaining space with wonderful 360 degree views over the water, the tops of surrounding homes and to the hinterland ranges in the distance. The rooftop has been designed for the installation of a hot tub and a BBQ area and a pantry and cold room could easily be installed in the existing roof top storage space if so desired. The Basement The Basement provides ample garaging for 5 vehicles and at least 2 golf buggies. On this same level is a private theatre and karaoke room, both of which are equipped with large projectors and screens and surround sound. A bar services the karaoke lounge and is also fitted with large screen TV for sporting and international live events. The Grounds The property is situated on 1,965 sqm of level landscaped low maintenance grounds with a 78 metre waterfront offering sweeping harbour and main river views. A 24 metre pontoon offers sheltered mooring for the largest of private vessels and there is plenty of secure storage for boating and fishing equipment. The Construction The construction of the home is of post tensioned suspended concrete slab with core filled concrete block wall. The advantage of post tensioning is that is that it enables the construction of large unsupported spans for the floor structures. The home was constructed using approximately 34,000 concrete blocks, 1,500 cubic metres of concrete, 95 tonnes of steel, 140 steel foundation screw piers and extensive use of post tensioning. 1,750 sqm of natural stone and vitrified tile have been installed on floor and walls inside this home and 750 sqm on the exterior patios, balconies and pathways of the home.
