A home made for Malaysian royalty, plus seven more high-end properties for sale right now

‘Fit for royalty’ is more than just an expression when it comes to the Gold Coast residence heading up our prestige property wishlist this week.

Others to make the cut include a sprawling European-style home in Vaucluse, a Victorian manor in Hawthorn, and a contemporary coastal estate in Flinders.

Helensvale

Originally commissioned by Malaysian royalty, this lavishly appointed home set within the gated Serenity Shores community is all about expansive living spaces.

You’re welcomed into the concrete residence via a grand reception hall with ceilings that stretch up two levels, setting the tone nicely for the rest of the palatial property.

Al fresco features include an infinity pool and dual pontoons that lead out to Saltwater Creek, with 38 metres of private water frontage.

Expect to pay more than $4 million for the residence through Charlon Delos Angeles, of Prestige Property Agents.

Vaucluse

You could sling a towel over your shoulder and walk the 200 metres to Parsley Bay Beach for a swim before work if you called this European-inspired residence home.

Set on a 1310-square-metre corner block, the property has casual and formal living spaces, a pool and a self-contained guest house.

The home has an even blend of functional and recreational features, including a home theatre and a billiards room on the lower ground level.

Elliott Placks, of Ray White Double Bay, has scheduled a March 14 auction, and advises on a bidding guide of $9 million.

Hawthorn

Claiming a blue-chip Scotch Hill address, this three-storey Victorian gem is ideal for entertainers, with a tennis court and heated pool outside and generous living spaces inside.

That exclusive location means that some of Melbourne’s leading private schools are within your catchment, and that local parks and shops lining Burwood Road are only a short walk away.

High-end fixtures and finishes include marble fireplaces, Miele and Liebherr appliances and an integrated sound system.

Nicole Gleeson, of Kay & Burton South Yarra, is seeking expressions of interest between $8.8 million and $9.3 million until March 12.

New Farm

National interest is expected for this riverfront property, zoned for medium density and claiming uninterrupted water and city views.

Those views can be enjoyed from a selection of vantage points, including the glass-wrapped living areas, the pool and spa, or even from the private jetty.

The contemporary-style residence uses marble to striking effect inside, adding to the decidedly glamorous aesthetic.

Ray White New Farm agent Matt Lancashire is preparing for a March 9 auction.

Wahroonga

Fans of Arts & Crafts architecture will be wooed by the charms of this c1905 residence designed by revered Sydney architect James Peddle.

The house has been thoughtfully renovated to integrate Hamptons-style influences throughout the interiors, particularly in the high-end kitchen with a butlers pantry.

From the kitchen, you’ll enter an enormous, open plan dining and living area, which looks out to the patio and pool.

Darren Curtis of Christie’s International Real Estate is leading the expressions of interest campaign.

Flinders

If you have trouble deciding between a sprawling country estate and a chic beach retreat, this glamorous hybrid has both bases covered.

Located on a sizeable block that’s one street back from the beach, the property has been built for easy family living, and even has a dedicated playground in the backyard.

Stone feature walls, bifold glass doors and oak cabinetry are included in the array of design highlights inside.

Expressions of interest close April 4, with Paul Armstrong of RT Edgar Flinders seeking offers between $4.9 million and $5.39 million.

Noosa Heads

This palm-framed property brings Tuscany to the riverfront of Noosa Heads, private jetty and pontoon included.

The Italian influences can be spotted in the terracotta gabled roof, but there’s also a quintessentially ‘Sunshine Coast’ vibe to the outdoor entertaining areas.

From the wet-edged pool, you can look out at a peaceful stretch of river, given the home’s cul de sac waterway position.

Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate is asking $4.35 million for the residence.

Byron Bay

Architect Harley Graham knew to maximise the sweeping national park views when he designed Gull House, which counts national parkland and Tallow Beach as its surrounds.

Standout features include underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a sleek kitchen with outdoor breakfast bar seating.

The design also has an environmental sensibility, from rainwater facilities to a solar hot water system.

You’ll need to pay between $4.135 million and $4.35 million for the property, through First National Byron agent Luke Elwin.
