Paradise is found in this rare estate spanning five acres and anchored by a sprawling Balinese villa overlooking the Coral Sea in the magical Whitsundays.
Hugging more than 160m of pristine Queensland coastline and accessed via a private road, which continues to a private beach, the property is located a 10-minute drive from the coastal hub of Airlie Beach, the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands.
The villa's elevated position delivers majestic 180-degree views sweeping from Hayman Island to Cannonvalle, which are best captured from a vast 90m2 elevated entertaining terrace supported by 4m-high concrete columns.
A veritable haven for fauna and flora, the property is ensconced in tropical rainforest and terraced botanical gardens, including a cactarium filled with one of the largest collections of exotic cacti and succulents in Australia.
At the heart of the estate is a two-level, six-bedroom Balinese-style residence. This textural masterpiece is carved from natural materials, including native and imported woods, sandstone, marble and conglomerate stone, with architectural elements sourced from across the globe.
Be impressed from the offset with entry via a porte cochere of carved merbau pillars and ironwood shingles that lead to a sculpted doorway made from ancient teak root. Carry on down a covered walkway and across a meditation pond towards 3.4m-high antique Indian doors that push open to reveal a grand vestibule of marble flooring and hand-carved teak extending to an open living room.
Living and sleeping quarters extend either side of this open space, and include a commercial-grade kitchen and dining room, as well as two bedrooms with ensuites.
On the upper level is an extravagant grand master suite and fourth bedroom, both with ensuites and access to a terrace and private courtyard. Two additional bedrooms are located in a separate private building, making these rooms ideal for visiting guests or 'bed and breakfast' opportunities.
