The best luxury properties for sale in Australia this week
When it comes to luxury property, these properties are an absolute standout and ready to be snapped up.
If you thought century-old sandstone might prove a mismatch with all that is bold and bright in Bondi, think again. Stone House by Andrew Burges is as pleasing to the eye as Icebergs on a hot summer’s day – a combination of lofty ceilings, floating stairs and retractable doors and windows to make the most of views over the gardens by Pepo Botanic Design.
This new house by Tim Stewart Architects is indicative of how New Farm continues to flex its muscle as one of Brisbane’s most architecturally interesting and desirable areas. Set on an 875-square-metre corner block close to the river and parkland, the two-storey home is all about classy finishes and indoor-outdoor living, with drool-worthy al fresco spaces.
A collaboration between Royale Constructions and Christopher Doyle, this house exemplifies refined craftsmanship, with high ceilings, arched motifs and marble detailing defining its stately calm. Steel-framed glass draws the eye outward to a loggia that opens to landscaped gardens and a pool lined with sunbeds for resort-style living. “It captures what Toorak living is all about – elegant, modern and effortlessly luxurious,” the agent says.
Steeped in Melbourne’s social history, The Gables rises within the Gascoigne Estate as a masterpiece by Ussher & Kemp, its grandeur softened by romantic gardens by William Guilfoyle, the designer of the Royal Botanic Gardens. For over a century, carved timber halls and stained glass have hosted weddings and renowned soirees alike. “Offered for the first time in over 50 years, it’s Malvern East’s largest and most significant landholding,” the agent says.
On Brighton’s golden mile, this French-inspired estate captures Parisian opulence through limestone arches, manicured parterre gardens and interiors of breathtaking scale. The family adores the north-facing kitchen and living domain, where adults entertain while keeping an eye on the kids in the indoor pool and loggia. “Many more delights await, including a Gold Class–worthy basement cinema,” the agent says.
The line between indoors and out softens in this new build. Sunlight spills across the kitchen’s stone-clad surfaces, while the adjoining bar with integrated wine storage caters to the entertainer at heart. Flowing to the pool and backing onto the golf course, its design feels at home in its landscape. “Each space was considered for how it feels to live in both for relaxing and entertaining,” the agent says.
Set on almost 11 hectares of vineyards and north-facing gardens, Tussie Mussie comprises three distinct Provence-inspired residences. Bought by the current owners in 2016, it has served as both a family sanctuary and a luxury boutique retreat, welcoming guests from around the world. “Its name pays homage to the estate’s rose-farm origins – 200 magnificent bushes still bloom each spring,” the agent says.
Every stone tells a story at this near one-hectare estate – three stonemasons spent 14 months hand-laying granite from a Dromana quarry to create this striking home. A northerly aspect means the living domain is flooded with light, while a terrace overlooking vineyards is where a sunset glass of wine and a friendly kookaburra provide nature’s therapy. “Autumns are especially magical and alive with colour,” the agent says.
High above Lorne, this 94-hectare property captures untouched beauty where kangaroos graze, eagles glide overhead and the horizon stretches endlessly. Built in 2000, the architect-designed home and artist’s studio – with seemingly more glass than walls – have served as a creative refuge for the owners for 25 years. “The views are extraordinary – so high you can see beyond Teddy’s Lookout to the ocean,” the agent says.
While the dramatic ocean views are definitely a highlight at this elevated property, the house itself is no wallflower. Spanning three levels and oriented to capture the northern sun while showcasing the Pacific panorama, the home comes with six-metre-high ceilings in the main living zone, Egyptian limestone floor tiles and sawn-cut lava stone walls.
The north-facing conservatory is definitely a winter winner, but as summer looms, it’s the ice bath in the wellness room that will grab your attention. Renovated by interior designer Tamsin Johnson, this elegant family home has an impressive selection of living spaces, paired with a gorgeous private pool and gardens by Myles Baldwin.
