IF you’re after a sense of seclusion paired with luxury, this estate is for you.

Grand in both size and appearance, you will be impressed from the moment you arrive at the gated property.

Nestled in an exclusive cul-de-sac of acreage residences, this single-level house on a huge 6,139sq m block offers unrivalled luxury living.

Vendor Jo Hargraves fell in love with the house three and a half years ago when her family was simply looking for ideas to build their own dream home.

“We walked in and instantly fell in love with the sense of seclusion and spaciousne­ss,” she said.

“You feel removed from the everyday world being on 1.5 private acres, yet enjoy the benefits of still being close to everything.”

It’s no surprise there are plenty of favourite spaces the large family enjoy gathering in.

The living room, set under soaring 15ft ceilings is a popular choice, along with the enviable outdoors.

A true haven for families, they’ve enjoyed countless fun times together with a 25m pool, spa, tennis court and outdoor kitchen, as well as making the most of the lush, landscaped grounds.

“We’ve given the kids a great outdoors lifestyle,” she said.

“It’s been such a nice, open and happy home and a true haven for our family.”

No expense has been spared in the design of the house with flawless marble, travertine, limestone and timber finishes, as well as panelled ceilings at every turn.

The main residence features a port cohere at the entry while inside there are four bedrooms, a study, games room, his’n’hers offices, kitchen, living, lounge, dining and family rooms that lead out to an alfresco terrace overlookin­g the pool.

The sprawling pool house is ideal as a selfcontai­ned guest quarters, with a bedroom, bathroom, two living areas and a kitchen.

It also acts as the perfect place for entertaini­ng, with a servery window and an abundance of bi-fold doors that open up to fuse with the pool area.
