We’ve rounded up our pick of the bunch from across the country’s most luxurious properties.
This two-storey, north-facing penthouse packs plenty of punch with its panoramic views and palatial floor plan. Among a host of high-end finishes, it has Wolf appliances, an opulent wine cellar and a travertine spa on the wraparound terrace. The property is set atop the Greenland Centre, designed by BVN and Woods Bagot, and comes with access to first-class amenities.
Claiming 21 hectares in the Gold Coast hinterland and George Clooney among past guests, Rivermead Estate offers more than 3000 square metres of living and entertaining spaces across a luxurious homestead, a poolside guest residence and staff accommodation. Positioned a half-hour drive from Mermaid Beach, it comes with a tennis court and impressive equine facilities.
When you live on a street named The Panorama, you would expect dazzling views, and the recently completed Skyfall residence doesn’t disappoint, taking in a swath of hinterland and coastline stretching to South Stradbroke Island and Fingal Head. The showstopping home with an infinity-edge pool and a luxe guest house are equally impressive.
With sparkling views over Five Dock Bay and a floor plan that adheres to feng shui principles, this three-storey waterfront home is a 600-metre walk from city ferries and comes with an infinity-edge pool, a private beach and a slipway. Choose from casual and formal living spaces, two kitchens and multiple outdoor zones.
If you’re torn between a character and a contemporary home, try Atherley for size. The Italianate villa is all period elegance in the library and the formal living rooms but dishes up a sleek modern aesthetic in the architect-designed extension at the rear. Located in the Domain Precinct, it’s a short walk from the Royal Botanic Gardens, cafes and top schools.
Positioned within the exclusive Paradise Quays estate, this striking BDA Architecture-designed residence boasts 45 metres of waterfrontage and easterly views over Wonderland Lake. Host a movie night in your home cinema, cook wood-fired pizza overlooking the glass-walled pool or cruise the local waterways from your 10-metre pontoon.
With a dress circle location, views that sweep across Dee Why, Long Reef and Collaroy beaches and 827 square metres of internal accommodation, this four-storey home features dramatic voids, solid concrete construction and beautiful hand-cut sandstone. There’s space for all the family with a media room, rumpus room, gym, home office, wine cellar, pool and lift access from the six-car garage.
With the waves lapping just metres from the back door, a laid-back beach lifestyle doesn’t get much better than this. Spanning three storeys, including a top-floor main bedroom retreat, this home comes with open-plan living spaces spilling out to a full-width deck and a level lawn. There’s another living room on the ground floor alongside a gym and wine cellar.
