We’ve rounded up our top picks of the most luxurious properties across the country.
Feel like you’re floating? Don’t worry, you’re just on the Coorabell ridge, next to the clouds. This is exquisite country – big skies and broad hinterland vistas to the sea – and this spectacular home on 28 hectares does justice to it all. Expansive glazing and brilliant terraces showcase the grandeur. Even the swirl-shaped pool gets views.
Something off-grid, out of the way and on 20 hectares along a restorative coastline would be special. Then there’s Casa Acton. Handsome but humble, pared back but purposeful, this is peak Tasmanian ingenuity where environment, architecture and sustainability combine to create a small miracle. Particle board walls, sandstone floors, one bedroom – bucolic bliss.
This opulent, three-storey riverside spread has sweeping blue water views and glamorous finishes, but there’s some fun to be had here, too. The spectacular, resort-style rooftop terrace has a pool sporting a round, in-floor window into the expansive kitchen-dining area below. There’s an internal palm garden, gym, sauna and two bars. It’s next-level Noosa.
There are two substantial homes on this two-hectare property, but it’s the fully restored Paul Sorenson heritage garden that steals the show.
