What a country we live in… ingenuous architecture, knockout views, a house that can only be accessed by boat and a sublime ski chalets. And if that’s not enough for you, grab your passport and check out a couple of properties on the other side of the world. You’d better have deep pockets.
It would be hard to leave this ultra-chic penthouse apartment. Cosy and cocooning in winter after a day on the slopes and cool and fresh after a summer day in the mountains. Bliss. On the market for $1.29M
Come for the snow, stay for the views.
A freestanding chalet with its own stone-clad speakeasy.
Heartwarming? This monster 7BR house in Aspen has its own bowling alley, a private ice rink, movie theatre, indoor pool and spa as well as clay tennis courts (yes, plural, there’s three of them so there’ll be no squabbling between the kids). On the market for US$79M, that’s around AUD$119M.
Suddenly my husband’s Swiss heritage is looking even more interesting. I absolutely love the understated Swissness of this chalet in Verbier.
Glamour, grace and a gigantic price tag of $31M-$33M!
The views on this property stretch out from the Gold Coast to Cape Byron lighthouse.
Quiet luxury Brisbane style.
This Palm Springs inspired home was the most expensive reported sale last week. Selling for $14.45M. It has its own private white-sand beach, a jetty pontoon and a saltwater pool.
I am obsessed with this house. It’s 40kms from Sydney, lusciously light-filled, has a heavenly deck and you can only get there by boat. On the market for $1.45M.
A jaw-dropping Adelaide penthouse complete with the most unusual wallpaper in loo we’ve ever seen. It was created by the co-owner, a former New York fashion designer. And the face? Her husband! Make of that what you will.
This 1950s beach shack has been held by the same family for generations and is on the market for the first time in 70 years.
Here’s a first, this property was once a Spanish horse stadium. It was converted into a light-filled luxury house by the late stylist and designer Carol Foord. The property, reflective of Foord’s high creativity and keen eye for unique design, is being sold fully-furnished. It goes to auction on Saturday, July 19.
