From bold lines to subtle finishes, we’ve rounded up the best of the luxury property market in Australia right now.
Measuring 256 square metres with panoramic coastline and ocean views, the rooftop terrace of this new penthouse should prove a favourite place to both relax and entertain. Travel up in style in your bespoke circular glass lift and shed the day’s worries in the spa before a movie in the media room and sweet dreams in one of three bedrooms with en suites.
Come home to your very own resort at Rivers Bend estate, a palatial, European-inspired property set on a 6297-square-metre Main River-fronting lot. There are showstopping features inside and out, from the silk-blend carpets and Italian and Spanish marble finishes to the floodlit tennis court, boating amenities and pool with swim-up bar and waterproof TV.
Designer luxury meets heritage splendour in this double-fronted 1880s home. Expect stained-glass windows, decorative ceilings and fireplaces in the original rooms. The light-filled family space with sleek kitchen overlooks a north-west-facing terrace with a pool. A home cinema, wine cella and dreamy bathrooms are bonuses. It’s close to Yarra trails, it’s a “secluded, beautifully renovated Victorian residence”, the agent says.
The scale of this glamorous sky home has already captured international attention. On the 38th floor, the two-storey penthouse frames jaw-dropping views of the city and river. The lounge steals the limelight with a soaring ceiling and adjoining terrace, and the kitchen is loaded with Gaggenau appliances, including dual ovens, and a full butler’s pantry. A rumpus room, lift, and communal pool and gym add value.
Ticking all the luxe family boxes, this two-storey home is a crowd pleaser. Expansive living spaces hug a north-facing pool. Plush finishes, a study, an upstairs retreat, and good bedroom zoning impress, but the winner is the striking undercover patio with a barbecue and a drinks fridge. “It’s just metres from Caulfield Park, trams, shops and elite schools,” the agent says.
This clifftop mansion, with sweeping bay views, an infinity pool and a showroom for luxury cars, is a head-turner. Inspired by the Victorian era, the chandelier-filled villa has ornate formal rooms, marble fireplaces and wraparound balconies. Swim from the resort-sized pool to the pavilion or admire your car collection in the showroom. The 0.6-hectare site includes a tennis court.
Let the lapping of waves lull you to sleep at this newly completed home set a five-minute walk from Sunrise Beach and a short drive from Noosa’s shops and restaurants. An earthy palette creates a calming retreat on two levels, both of which feature a living zone and a choice of al fresco zones, including a lounge terrace next to the heated pool.
Designed by SJB in collaboration with feng shui master Jane Langof, this Ethos penthouse boasts district views that stretch to the Blue Mountains. Due for completion in just a few months’ time, the property is located a very short walk from the metro, the train station and Chatswood CBD’s many shops and eateries.
