"The Palladio" A Grand 30-Acre Estate of Timeless Elegance and Modern Luxury Less Than 45kms to the Sydney Harbour Bridge
This magnificent private estate recreates Monet's house in Giverny, complete with Palladian architecture, European gardens, twin lily ponds, an 18-metre pool and a championship-sized tennis court. The majestic property is a statement of elegance with seven bedrooms, including a two-bedroom guesthouse, two-bedroom pool house and a three-hole golf course on this exquisite private estate.
Nestled in its own private world at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Palladio is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of Sydney's truly great semi-rural masterpieces, just 40 minutes from the CBD.
Enter this private 30-acre sanctuary through grand iron gates and follow an epic tree-lined driveway, where the manor house is beautifully revealed at the end of the approach. Styled and crafted to capture the bespoke artistry of Italianate elegance while embracing contemporary design, this residence achieves perfect harmony between timeless architecture and modern luxury.
The stunning main residence is enhanced with Italian colonnades, leading into an extensive open-plan living and dining area with domed feature ceilings, parquetry timber flooring, and walls of glass framing outlooks of the lakes and sweeping parkland beyond. With soaring 11-foot ceilings, carved marble fireplaces and imported Venetian light fittings setting the scene, the main house features a home cinema, sophisticated new stone-island kitchen with premium European appliances, and an indulgent 42sqm master suite with open fireplace, walk-in robe and ensuite. Glass sliding doors open to the Boston-ivy-covered Terrazza, beautifully positioned to capture sunsets shimmering across the lily lakes.
Designed to accommodate weekend visitors in privacy, it features a separate two-bedroom guest cottage with a sleek contemporary kitchen plus a pool house comprising two bedrooms with designer ensuites.
The classically curated gardens feature an antique Spanish well and imported sculptures, statues, colonnades and tranquil courtyards. Centred around the two lily lakes and acres of parkland, the gardens feature echo the seasonal plantings of Monet's famous works. The grounds showcase a picturesque championship synthetic-grass tennis court with lighting poles wired and erected, an 18-metre resort-style pool and a three-hole golf course. There is parking for up to 10 cars in an enormous drive-in barn and an additional maintenance and machinery shed. There is also a small orchard, a separate golf-cart garage and extensive solar roof panelling. The property runs on town electricity with solar support.
Additional features include a marked helicopter pad, ducted air conditioning, CCTV security system, a fire-pit area, stone garden seating and tables, water features, fully automated Hunter ICC garden watering system, combined 130,000L water tanks and potential horse paddocks if required.
This spectacular estate, recreating Monet's house in Giverny, has been re-imagined as a five-star manor resort, a private haven of elegance and scale. Wonderfully secluded yet conveniently located, it is only 12 minutes to Berowra Waters for yacht moorings, and from there, just half an hour by speedboat to Palm Beach. The highly regarded local private school, Northholm Grammar, is within walking distance, with a further selection of elite secondary schools including Barker College, Knox Grammar, Pymble Ladies' College, and Abbotsleigh all within a 25-minute drive. For golf enthusiasts, the estate features its own private three-hole golf course, while the world-class Riverside Oaks Golf Course is also just a short drive away, with the Northern Beaches accessible in less than an hour.
