Commanding a private north-facing 4,032m² estate with 31m of Main River frontage, this British Colonial landmark is a residence of uncommon scale and quiet authority. Beyond the gates, a stately Magnolia-lined drive unveils 918m² of impeccably realised living, introduced by a monumental foyer where a soaring 19ft ceiling, statement chandelier and sculptural butterfly staircase announce an address of true distinction.
A succession of refined salons unfolds with grace, from a deluxe entertaining lounge with wet bar to a gracious lounge and dining domain warmed by a gas fireplace. Hosting is elevated to the highest order, with a chef's kitchen and butler's pantry appointed in premium new appliances, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and an effortless indoor-outdoor procession designed for gatherings of every scale.
Seven sumptuous bedrooms are accompanied by fully renovated bathrooms, led by a skyline-view master suite with an exquisite dressing room and ensuite. A fully self-contained, renovated two-bedroom pavilion offers discreet independence for guests or extended family.
Outdoors, the estate reveals itself as a private riverside resort, composed for recreation, celebration and repose. A full-length alfresco terrace with new outdoor kitchen sets the stage for evenings of considered entertaining, while the rebuilt firepit invites starlit conversation. Indulge in an endless summer in the supersized pool, recline on the new composite decking, or depart from the boat ramp and revitalised pontoon for weekends of water-skiing and jet-ski cruising.
A natural grass and stone amphitheatre is sculpted into the landscape for watching the festivities unfold, while a magnificent poinciana tree graces the riverbank. With a triple garage and gym, a 10kW plus second 5kW solar system, upgraded Control4 smart home automation and more, this is a residence where luxury, innovation and function exist in perfect accord.
