Property listings

Whether you’re looking for a high-end inner-city abode or an estate in the countryside, there’s something for everyone in this line-up of some of Australia’s best prestige homes.

12 Dudley Street, Brighton

From the manicured Paul Bangay gardens to the timeless Stephen Akehurst-designed home and gorgeous Stuart Rattle interiors, St Ives is a delight across every inch of this 1900-square-metre, golden-mile block. The multitude of living spaces includes a home cinema and library, and there’s a lift to all floors from the eight-car garage.

125 Commodore Drive, Paradise Waters

Watch the sun sink over the Nerang River from the covered terrace or heated infinity-edge pool of this Jared Poole-designed home, set on a prime block with more than 23 metres of river frontage. The family-friendly floor plan includes a choice of living spaces, a marble island kitchen with a butler’s pantry, and a six-car basement garage with a wine cellar.

12 Tutus Street, Balgowlah Heights

A unique facade gives away little of this supremely striking and practical home, designed by architect Reg Lark and claiming harbour views across to Manly. There is ample space for living and working, with light-filled, open-plan living spaces, two studies and two studio-style suites perfect for high-schoolers or uni students living at home.

75 Caledonia Drive, Relbia

Located 10 minutes’ drive from Launceston’s town centre, this handsome property offers a five-bedroom Georgian-style home with flagstone flooring and vaulted ceilings, plus a self-contained, two-bedroom converted barn. Set on a 2.35-hectare lot with mature gardens and drystone walls, the property has two dams and views of Ben Lomond.

15 Castaway Crescent, Jan Juc

An all season-entertainer, this architect-designed home comes with inviting living spaces, a north-facing pool and a rooftop al fresco area. Vaulted ceilings, recycled timber flooring, custom joinery and a wood fire add character throughout, and there’s a beautiful self-contained studio with proven income potential. It’s a 600-metre walk from the closest beach and one kilometre from cafes.

170 Prince Alfred Parade, Newport

Picnicking in your back garden has never looked so good. This split-level home sits on a 3073-square-metre block with level lawns adjoining a wide, sandy beachfront with a private, netted bathing area of over 1000 square metres directly in front of the property. Inside you’ll find three generous living spaces, a contemporary kitchen and a self-contained studio.

10 St Albans Drive, Burnside

You’ll feel a world away from the hustle and bustle at this two-storey sandstone residence which is only 10 minutes’ drive from the CBD and adjoins Michael Perry Botanic Reserve, home to dog-friendly walking trails and picnic facilities. The 1030-square-metre property comes with multiple living spaces, an updated kitchen, plus a pool, spa and gazebo.

3 Marine Parade, Watsons Bay

Bookended by Gibsons and Watsons Bay beaches with Watsons Bay Baths at your front gate, this beachside cottage is an easy walk from eateries and city ferries. The highlight of the current residence is the deep, covered verandah overlooking the boat-studded bay, but you might also consider the DA-approved plans for a new five-bedroom home.
