48 Pioneer Road

Behind the private security gated entrance lies the Bridgwater Estate that is the culmination of 45 years of meticulous landscaping offering a level of botanical maturity and architectural romance that simply cannot be replaced, with year-round spectacular blooms forming a living work of art. Unique in its conception, this 10-acre property is a rare fusion of storybook romance and resort style grandeur. The crown jewel of the grounds is the beautiful 20m Italianate pool and pool house pavilion. Designed with grand celebrations in mind by a Sydney antique collector, the area has hosted many garden parties and featured in Vogue magazine with its Greek statues, clipped hedgerows and timeless European atmosphere. The gardens are surrounded by woodland and rainforest creating a lush private sanctuary. Wander through the shaded groves and sun-drenched clearings that frame the main residence. Row across the lake to discover the grassed island, take a stroll across the wooden bridge through the rainforest or delve deeper into the gardens to find the winding hidden staircase to yet another quiet woodland retreat. Tucked amongst the gardens stands the bespoke main residence, defined by its storybook windows and warm glow of romantic chandeliers. Evening drinks are invited on the main deck overlooking the lake. Inside awaits a chefs kitchen handcrafted in Black Wattle and Camphor Laurel with Brazilian river marinace granite benchtops. Featuring an open plan living space, filled with natural light and soaring ceilings, it includes a downstairs private guest retreat, a huge master suite upstairs with a third extra-large bedroom which doubles as a parents retreat for the whole top floor. Outside the main residence you will find a stand-alone studio with charming sun deck, providing versatile guest or family accommodation. The property has many uses because of its unique appeal ranging from beautiful private sanctuary, to family haven or, subject to council approval, Airbnb, luxury holiday accommodation or a boutique wedding venue. With the ability to still build a second dwelling, subject to council approval, and the possibility of a second access from the back woodland, the opportunities here are extensive.
