We’ve rounded up our top picks of the most luxurious properties across the country.
Say hello to a resort lifestyle of absolute bliss at La Palma, with award-winning interiors by YSG Studio. Its dazzling north-western aspect delivers spectacular Palm Beach views that can be enjoyed from the full-length decks or heated
pool with stylish chequered tiling.
If a glass of home-grown pinot is your idea of heaven, pay a visit to Joyous Winery, a 65-hectare estate atop Vaughan’s Hill with 10 hectares of vines surrounded by rolling farmland. The rammed-earth homestead is also pretty special. Facing north-west over the pool and tennis court, it comes with a tundra marble kitchen and guest accommodation.
Built as a multigenerational home for a self-described perfectionist, this is a residence hard to fault, although you may lose your way with such palatial proportions. The owners have held parties for 200 people but have equally enjoyed quiet family moments, whether in one of the formal or informal living rooms, the beautiful central courtyard or poolside.
A collaboration between Capital Luxury Residences and Mason Bright Architects has produced this award-winning home with lift access between each of its three levels. Mix your favourite drinks in the cocktail lounge, enjoy summer swims in the north-facing pool and get dinner ready in style with the palissandro marble kitchen and butler’s pantry.
House-like in the truest sense, this unusual and welcoming apartment has three levels with lift access. Facing north-east with sensational views over the golf course to the harbour and ocean, the property features open-plan living spaces extending to a deep balcony. It is within easy reach of top schools, parklands and Bondi Beach.
The mesmerising Middle Harbour views are the undisputed star of the show at this waterfront trophy home, but there’s plenty more to like, from the two yacht berths to the infinity pool. Conceived by architect Ralph Cunningham, the property has a sculptural staircase linking all five levels, with a selection of living zones and five bedrooms (with en suites) enjoying the outlook across the water to the marina, Spit Bridge and beyond to Clontarf.
Facing due north on a 1012-square-metre lot close to fabulous amenities including riverside parkland, Nedlands Golf Club, shops and schools, this renovated home was originally designed by Marcus Collins. The thoughtful floor plan has the main bedroom and home office on the ground floor, with three further bedrooms and a study upstairs. A big media/rumpus room is ideal for movie nights.
Recently completed yet full of character, this single-level home sits on 31 hectares a 30-minute drive from Geelong. Crafted from rough-sawn limestone with 400-year-old recycled French oak flooring, cathedral ceilings and a European feature fireplace, the home comes with a Gaggenau-appointed kitchen. Outside you’ll find a pool and tennis court, fruit and vegetable gardens, and a converted shearing shed perfect for additional income.
Set within Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas complex – where residents share two pools, a gym and a steam room, with a day spa on site – this two-storey villa dishes up sweeping northerly views over Main Beach and Laguna Bay. With four bedrooms, two living zones and two balconies there’s plenty of space to enjoy a holiday with family and friends.
