INTERNATIONAL LISTINGS Worldwide Luxury Real Estate

Description

Inspired by the grand homes of Southern California with architectural elements borrowed from the Bay of Islands and crafted with the finest finishes, this inspiring estate is designed to sit in sympathy with its seventeen acres of coastal surroundings, which stretch from the Scenic Highway all the way down to the water’s edge, this sublime home is a true idyll.

The home embodies a lifestyle of luxury and captures north facing ocean vistas. Imagine deciding to go for a refreshing dip in your private swimming pool – an 11 metre by four-and-a-half metre oasis that’s heated by both solar and gas and features Italian tiles by Pazzotti and an irresistible spa pool. Or pouring a bubbly for guests in the lower entertainment area while you’re whipping up the lobster and calamari on the four burner gas barbecue in the swish outdoor kitchen? Or simply coming home, turning on Pavarotti so that it filters through the piped music system, and sitting back to gaze out at the view…

If you have family or friends who want to join you at this sumptuous abode, there is room for plenty, with four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a powder room, and a spacious family room to chill out in. There is also a gymnasium, a wine cellar with room for 1000 individually racked bottles, and eight car garage to house all the vehicles and beach toys, big or small.

No detail has been overlooked in the planning of this spectacular coast home. The kitchen alone is a design fit for a magazine, with three refrigerators and top-of-the-range Miele appliances including two microwave ovens, two convection ovens, a cook top, a dishwasher and a coffee machine. Elsewhere, the architectural highlights include Italian marble, underfloor heating, two gas fireplaces and one external combustion one, a ceiling inspired by Kauri Cliff Lodge in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, a fully integrated C-Bus electrical system with additional Minder Security System, two separate air conditioning systems that cover the entire house, and a laundry with Miele appliances and a built-in ironing station. If that’s not enough luxury, there are also approximately five acres of landscaped grounds featuring a fully automated watering system fed by two 25,000 litre concrete tanks and a fully lined dam, a delightful orchard leading to a lily pond at the top of the property, a heli pad and gates protected by security camera controlled through a kitchen monitor and televisions. ‘Mon Desire’ is a timeless blend of contemporary and classic architecture, located only a 2 minute drive to the centre of Terrigal.
