WARATAH

An architect-designed masterpiece of the highest calibre nestled on one of Sydney’s most exclusive and picturesque acreage landholdings, this no-expense-spared one-year-old designer residence was built from the ground up to provide the ultimate lifestyle sanctuary.

Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac with Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park hugging two of the boundaries and only one adjoining neighbour, it is completely immersed in an expansive native bushland backdrop that sweeps across misted morning valleys to big-sky sunsets over distant leafy ridge horizons.

Nestled on 6.7 acres with sprawling near-level lawns and landscaped designed gardens with a heated infinity pool and spa, its next-to-nature setting is a haven for occasional lyre birds and kangaroos plus a plethora of native animal and birdlife.

Cocooned in privacy, totally secure, and pin-drop quiet, its sublime setting is within close proximity of schools, village shopping, and beaches and approximately a 35-minute drive from the Sydney CBD.

With 5000 sqm of fully-fenced gardens and another 22000 sqm of native bushland on the title, the residence is accessed via a secure electronic gate via a keypad or video intercom.

Wrapped in giant walls of glass that fully optimise its sun-drenched northwest setting and simply breathtaking views of distant bush-carpeted valleys and ridges with barely a man-made structure in sight, the recycled spotted gum entrance foyer leads past a floating timber stairwell and an indoor/outdoor fishpond that forms a spectacular and tranquil showpiece.

A guest powder room and rubber-floored gym sit to one side of the entrance foyer and on the north side, there’s a guest bedroom suite with an ensuite plus a fitted working office each with its own private external access doors.

At the rear there’s a generous living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace recessed in a stacked granite wall, a sunny dining room housed under dramatic double-height ceilings, and a state-of-the-art kitchen focused around a cantilevered cosmic granite entertainers’ island with glass bi-fold doors opening to the poolside terrace. Boasting an induction cooktop, two wall ovens, and two integrated dishwashers, it wraps around to a food-prepping area with a servery window to a covered alfresco barbecue terrace plus a concealed walk-in pantry and wine cellar.

Upstairs there’s a media room wired for sound plus a family room with continuous picture windows framing mesmerising views. The bedrooms are all king-sized and furnished with built-in wardrobes, three have ensuites and the palatial main bedroom comes complete with a walk-in robe with a marble dressing table and a mirror as well as stunning views that are also visible from the ensuite bathtub.

The designer bathrooms all feature heated terrazzo flooring and vanity tops finished in either New York marble or Viola marble and a hot/cold outdoor shower is located near the pool.

Additional features include a four-car lock-up garage plus a carport and car space, town water plus a 100,000L rainwater tank, BAL 29 bushfire attack rating construction, connect 10 fully-automated heated pool and spa, polished concrete flooring, separate ducted air conditioning systems for every room, louvered windows, Sonos sound inside and out, brushed brass and copper tapware plus remote accessed CCTV cameras and lighting.

Set amid Space Landscaped Designs engineered gardens and sprawling spreads of near-level lawn, its sun-drenched west-facing terrace is a fire-pit ringed by sandstone seating,

Sourced for its idyllic setting, this once-in-a-lifetime property has been carefully planned from concept to completion to provide a world-class statement in resort-style luxury living and a lifestyle simply beyond compare.
