Your home really can be your castle

WE all want to live like kings, but for the buyer of this Mudgeeraba property the dream could become reality.

The Bonogin Rd mansion, constructed in 1992 by builder Alfonso Di Pietrantonio, was modelled on castles from his native Italy.

Set among manicured lawns, the eight-bedroom home comes with a threehole golf course, an orchard, a large pool and a separate three-bedroom home previously used as a specialist medical centre.

Inside the house french windows, high decorative ceilings and large gallery corridors open to cathedralpeaked ceilings to create a regal design.

Owner Leona Milzewski, who hopes to collect a king’s ransom for her stunning home, described the house as “breathtaking”.

“This house is just magic,” Ms Milzewski said. “I was renting in Sorrento and looking for a home to buy when I saw this.

“My heart stopped when I first walked inside – the painted ceilings are breath- taking. When I bought it I did not even realise it came with a second house out the back.

“We thought it was just a chook house but we soon found it was a decent-sized dwelling over a dam.

“We still call it the chook house.

“I turned it into a personal gym until my parents decided to move in.”

Selling agent Audrey Goetz from @realty Sydney is marketing the property and said the home was a landmark in Mudgeeraba.

“The home was built by an Italian builder and it is a castle straight out of Tuscany,” Ms Goetz said.

“I live on the other end of the street and it is often described as the Bonogin Rd castle.”

The property will go under the hammer on-site on November 6 at 11am.
