77-79 George Street, Avalon Beach, NSW 2107

Few properties on the Northern Beaches carry the history, scale and sheer beauty of the 'Leontine' estate. Hidden behind private gates and mature hedges, this Spanish Colonial hacienda - designed and built in the late 1930s - sits on an extraordinary 1,630sqm holding across from Careel Bay and moments from the centre of Avalon. Facing North-East, its sweeping lawns and gardens have grown alongside the house for nearly a century - Magnolias, Pandanus, Frangipanis and palms of extraordinary scale and maturity.
Meticulously restored and elevated for modern living, the sun-drenched pavilion design unfolds around a central courtyard, connecting the interiors to a sparkling 14.5m tiled pool and fully self-contained cabana. Generous, light-filled and private in every direction, this is a residence of exceptional elegance - rich with original character yet finished to uncompromising standards.
With grand formal rooms, a dedicated children's wing and an entire upper level devoted to the parent's retreat, 'Leontine' delivers the space and privacy of a grand country estate, with the ease of Avalon's beaches, cafes and schools all moments from the door.
