Commanding its elevated setting with confidence, exceptional scale and a remarkable suite of resort-style amenities, this substantial residence turns everyday living into something altogether more extraordinary. Thoughtfully designed by Architectural Designer Sean McCurrie, and completed in 2019, the home has been meticulously conceived and constructed to a high standard.
Privately accessed from Semaphore Close and occupying an expansive 3,008sqm freehold site, its orientation makes full use of the elevation, drawing spectacular views, all-day sun and magnificent western sunsets into almost every aspect of the home.
Its bold exterior profile establishes an immediate presence. Natural materials, cedar detailing and a striking quarry-stone feature wall introduce a richly textured palette, while generous proportions, extensive glazing and over-height spaces reinforce the sense of scale and quality throughout. Living occupies the upper level, where the kitchen, dining and living areas form a highly social centrepiece, positioned to keep the outlook firmly in play.
The kitchen is appropriately specified for a home of this calibre, with induction cooking, an extensive suite of Miele appliances and a walk-in pantry providing considerable capacity for entertaining. Alongside the principal living zone, a separate media room provides a more intimate retreat. The transition outdoors is equally accomplished. An expansive louvred loggia effectively becomes another living room, with a feature gas fire and protection from the elements extending its use well beyond summer.
Accommodation is thoughtfully separated from the home's social spaces. Three double bedrooms, and family bathroom occupy the ground floor, while upstairs the primary suite enjoys greater privacy with a walk-in wardrobe and spacious tiled ensuite. A separate guest toilet and laundry completes the upper level, while additional storage and a cedar wine cellar bring another layer of functionality to the floor plan.
Yet it is the standalone pool pavilion that shifts this property into genuinely rare territory. At approximately 115sqm, this purpose-built leisure complex incorporates a 50sqm heated pool, spa, dedicated gym room and beautifully tiled bathroom and changing facilities. Designed for year-round use, it creates a private wellness environment at home - whether swimming before breakfast, training in the gym or retreating to the spa at the end of the day.
The landscaping has received the same level of consideration. Extensive terraces and lawns sit amongst native planting and an established orchard, while a significant recent transformation by renowned landscape designer Dan Rutherford has introduced an easy-care planting scheme and considered weed-management system.
10kW of solar power assists with year round comfort across every season. There is also ducted heat-pump heating, underfloor heating throughout the home, including the pool pavilion, a feature gas fire, gas hot water and year round pool heating. A sophisticated security system, abundant storage and substantial triple-car garaging with workshop space further reinforce the home's exceptional functionality.
Designed for entertaining on a grand scale but equally accomplished when the doors close and the house becomes a private retreat, this is a home that delivers far beyond its impressive design. With its combination of scale, specification, privacy and resort-level recreation, it offers something increasingly difficult to replicate - a private sanctuary on the hill where home and holiday become one.
