Introducing ‘The Retreat’ — a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure one of Bonogin’s most treasured lifestyle estates. Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and offered to the market for the first time in 35 years, this remarkable 3.77-hectare property (approx. 9.3 acres) is more than a home — it’s a private sanctuary, thoughtfully crafted for those who value peace, privacy, and a genuine connection to nature.
A personal note from the sellers:
Originally architect-designed and built to ‘lock-up’ stage, we purchased this property in 1998 with a vision: a home close to the city yet surrounded by nature with room for six children, a thriving garden, and an office for my business. Over the years, we’ve brought that vision to life, carefully evolving every corner of the estate with quality, comfort, and longevity in mind - Established: 1989 | Purchased: 1998
Timeless Charm & Quality Craftsmanship
From its rich cedar cladding to premium finishes throughout, ‘The Retreat’ exudes warmth, character, and craftsmanship. The main home flows seamlessly between open-plan interiors and over 500 square metres of wraparound decking — perfect for hosting lively gatherings or enjoying quiet sunsets. All decking (including joists) has been recently replaced and treated with Cutek for long-term durability and easy maintenance.
Three Private Dwellings — Endless Possibilities
Main Residence: A peaceful one-bedroom parent’s retreat that balances luxury with natural surrounds.
Second Residence:
A spacious three-bedroom layout with two lofts — ideal for children, extended family, or multi-generational living.
Studio/Garage: Originally designed as a three-car garage with an office, workshops, and storerooms over two levels. With its own stunning deck, this space offers outstanding potential for conversion into a self-contained unit or creative studio.
