Nestled on the picturesque banks of the Main River and framed by beautifully landscaped gardens and mature trees, this timeless estate offers a rare opportunity to experience secluded luxury in one of the Gold Coast's most prestigious locations. Occupying an expansive 5,625m² parcel-the second-largest along exclusive Kootingal Street-this iconic estate blends privacy, elegance, and scale with remarkable architectural and design pedigree. The property comprises an architect-designed, double-storey main residence spanning 1,112m², and a separate two-bedroom guesthouse, creating a refined retreat in a tranquil riverside setting. This distinguished estate has welcomed notable guests such as Elon Musk, Jude Law, Baz Luhrmann, and Priyanka Chopra, offering a level of exclusivity and prestige that is rarely found, yet it remains just moments from the vibrant heart of the Gold Coast. A long, tree-lined driveway winds past preserved old-growth trees and manicured gardens, arriving at the grand main residence-designed by renowned South African architect Ewald de Weerd of BDA Architecture. Drawing inspiration from post-war 1950s Australia, American Georgian style, New Zealand's Arrowtown, and the coastal charm of Cape Cod, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is a masterful blend of character and modernity. Crafted with sustainability and timelessness in mind, the residence features recycled natural materials throughout. Solid timber beams, floorboards, and joists reclaimed from a century-old heritage building are paired beautifully with Calacatta marble, Tuscan tiles, and natural stone. These elements come together in a series of warm, inviting spaces designed to evolve with time and use. Highlights include multiple living areas, a grand formal lounge with vaulted ceiling and three-tier crystal chandelier, and a dramatic 4.8-metre stone fireplace. The sunken formal dining room is a standout, with timber ceilings, Camino chandeliers, and Tuscan tiles. A light-filled library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a rolling ladder provides a peaceful escape for reading and reflection. The luxurious master suite features dual walk-in robes, an opulent ensuite with a soaking tub, and a private balcony overlooking the lush gardens and hinterland sunsets. Four additional bedrooms include built-in or walk-in robes, with one enjoying a private ensuite. At the heart of the home is a chef's dream kitchen, complete with an oversized Calacatta marble island, high-end appliances, a scullery, a butler's pantry, and thoughtful additions such as a gift-wrapping room and a spacious study nook. A 600-bottle, temperature-controlled subterranean wine cellar adds a further touch of sophistication. Designed for grand-scale entertaining, the home seamlessly connects to expansive timber decks, a fully tiled 25-metre lap pool surrounded by travertine, and a resort-style pool house featuring a bar, dishwasher, powder room, and large open-plan entertaining space. At the river's edge, a sandy beach, waterfront fire pit, and ski hut offer a serene space to enjoy nature.
