We’ve rounded up our top picks of the most luxurious properties across the country.
A Williams Burton Leopardi-designed restoration and renovation has revived Wavertree, an impressive property opposite St Peter’s College. Comprising an 1865 bluestone and sandstone mansion and several adjacent buildings wrapping around an established courtyard, the estate lends itself to a commercial headquarters – which is its current use – a boutique hotel or a premium residence.
A grand reception hall with a soaring lantern ceiling dressed in ornate heritage detail is a fitting introduction to Nambour, a c1897 Queen Anne-inspired villa. You’ll find a palatial lounge beneath Oregon trusses, a formal dining room with a fireplace and a handsome home office. Outside, manicured Eugene Gilligan-designed gardens adjoin a tennis court and pool.
Watch the sun rise over Woodford Bay from this waterfront gem, which comes with a 15-metre lap pool, a boat shed and a boat ramp. A sleek, Miele-appointed kitchen is the star of the upper-level living spaces where the light-filled lounge spills out to a balcony with a built-in barbecue and serene water views.
