Spanning almost 400sqm of thoughtfully designed living, the residence balances grand proportions with warmth and functionality. Soaring raked ceilings, walls of glazing and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living allow natural light to flood every space while framing the ever-changing panorama beyond. The expansive open-plan living and dining domain forms the heart of the home, anchored by a bespoke gourmet kitchen appointed with stone benchtops, premium appliances, an oversized island and extensive butler-style storage. Whether preparing family meals or entertaining on a grand scale, every element has been carefully considered. Sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening onto an expansive covered alfresco complete with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen overlooking the resort-inspired swimming pool. Surrounded by professionally landscaped gardens, feature retaining walls and a private fire pit terrace, the outdoor spaces have been designed as a destination in themselves, perfect for long summer evenings, celebrations with friends or quiet moments watching the sun disappear across the lake.
