Australia's best homes of the week with Domain property editor Alice Stolz
One of the things I love most about my job is scrolling and riffling through Domain to find the best properties for sale across the country.
Whether it’s a tiny but clever studio apartment in Sydney with jaw-dropping harbour views or an architect-designed masterpiece with a private beach, the thrill of finding a unique listing is never lost on me.
So here are the properties that have stopped me mid-scroll this week and that I have added straight to my shortlist on the Domain app. If you’re looking to buy or are just stargazing (like me), here are my favourites for this week:
The listing that stopped me in my tracks:
This French villa hidden in the Macedon Ranges feels like it is another world away, yet it’s just a 90-minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD. The four-bedroom house sits in a field of flowers on 32.4 hectares in Hesket, a small town on the fringes of Mount Macedon, and is only accessible via a one-kilometre driveway. I think it is utterly divine. You can read more about the listing here.
The best home away from home as seen on The Today Show:
This property in a sleepy place called Eggs and Bacon Bay is just made for breakfast TV. I have already shared this remote shack with my husband (he agreed if we win the lotto we’ll buy it!) and told my three children that it only has two bedrooms, so they’ll have to share. For once, they didn’t argue.
My favourite luxe listings as seen on Weekend Today:
A house that looks like the sibling of a big, gorgeous Brownstone in the Upper East Side of New York. This house – yes, house – sits proudly in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. I mean, wow.
Ah Bondi. Just the name conjures up so much for me: sweaty, salty and sizzling. This house is oozing style. And it even has a pool!
It’s been a week. And, sometimes, I just want to literally be taken to another world and get lost in the details. This five-bedroom chateau is touted as being a mash-up of French and Italian style and luxury. It also has, I kid you not, an oversized powder room that has a dedicated armoire for guests (yes, guests!) to store their handbags.
Melbourne house of the week (as seen on 9News)
A rooftop pool? Sure, why not? The penthouse apartment looks to have been deeply influenced by Sydney. Views and views and views, plus glamour and glitz over three levels.
Sydney house of the week (as seen on 9News)
I’m in love with this house. The kitchen is heavenly, and the curves, the views and the textures are all sublime. And that rooftop garden is gorgeous.
Brisbane house of the week (as seen on 9News)
The orientation of this luxury home on the Sunshine Coast is everything, with views that look smack-bang out to Mount Ninderry, Mount Coolum and beyond. Imagine it – it would be like living in your own private resort.
Adelaide house of the week (as seen on 9News)
A prestige property deserves a prestige address. If you love pomp and grandeur this house has it in spades.
And one last thing …
For the die-hard Block fans, read this and start to get excited. This next season is going to be exceptional.
