This breathtaking country estate celebrates luxury family living at its consummate best. Savouring a sense of pure privacy, the enormous residence was crafted by renowned House of Nautica and epitomises timeless rustic elegance. Landscaped grounds showcase inspired outdoor living spaces and incorporate a resort-style swimming pool complex and cabana, a private lake with pontoon, two fenced paddocks and a separate three-bay, high-stud garage/ workshop for business or pleasure.

This is a wonderful place to raise a family. There's space for everyone to relax and enjoy, as well as room to accommodate guests or staff. Extraordinary proportions incorporate soaring ceiling studs and wide, gallery-style American Oak hallways (which are all wheelchair friendly), complemented with series of incredibly versatile outdoor living spaces that make all-season entertaining a pleasure.

Walls of glass along the front of the home bring the outside into the collection of formal and casual living and dining rooms, while showcasing expansive, north-facing vistas over the property. Guests can gather around the 4.6m stone island in the kitchen, which also boasts a large, fully-equipped butler's pantry.

There are up to six bedrooms, four with their own ensuites, plus flexibility for an office or gym. The master retreat boasts two dressing rooms, as well as a sumptuous ensuite with French tub. Above the garage, the guest quarters has its own lounge, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. As expected with a development of this calibre, its suite of features takes it to the next level and includes a wine cellar, carpeted triple garage and abundant storage.

The property is part of exclusive Grace Hill Drive in Dairy Flat - an enclave of illustrious estates than enjoy a wonderful sense of community just a short drive from Albany.

It must be experienced to be believed.
