Step into timeless elegance at Carioca Park-an extraordinary country estate set on approximately 4.35 hectares (10.75 acres) of sweeping, English-inspired gardens amid the gently undulating hills of Fitzroy Falls. A rare and refined offering, this property blends grace, grandeur, and tranquillity in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings. From the moment you enter the long, tree-lined driveway, Carioca Park reveals its captivating character. The 1950s bungalow façade exudes classic charm, while original sash windows, French doors, and wide verandas frame panoramic vistas over manicured lawns and park-like grounds. Inside, the home showcases solid full-brick construction, high ceilings, and generously proportioned living areas-including a magnificent north-facing lounge bathed in natural light. With four to five bedrooms, a home office, 2.5 bathrooms, and a functional family kitchen overlooking paddocks, the home balances historic appeal with modern comfort. A substantial multi-purpose barn at the rear offers remarkable versatility, perfect as a machinery shed, studio, workshop, guest retreat, or stabling for horses, complete with a kitchenette and bathroom for added convenience. Outdoors, serenity reigns. Wander through romantic gardens, tend to horses or livestock, or simply soak in the sweeping views of the Southern Highlands. Every season transforms the estate-spring blossoms, summer blooms, autumn's golden tones, and winter's camellias-each casting the property in a new, enchanting light. Carioca Park is more than a home - it's a sanctuary of peace, beauty, and heritage. A place to live, breathe, relax, and grow.
