European-inspired estate in blue-chip street
A true landmark address in one of Brisbane’s most-loved waterfront enclaves, ‘Rivadere’ invites you to enjoy an unmatched lifestyle. Celebrating classic elegance with its outstanding craftsmanship, this six-bedroom prestige home on a rare 2,725sqm allotment offers both a tranquil atmosphere and proximity to Brisbane’s CBD. Benefitting from a brilliant 43-metre riverfrontage, the property creates a sense of exclusivity with its extended Victorian limestone driveway and electric-gated entry. A magnificent European-inspired façade and manicured parterre-style gardens make a spectacular first impression, setting the lavish standard from the outset. Commanding breathtaking Brisbane River and Saint Lucia Golf Course views, the residence complements its picturesque setting with imported European marble, solid hand-carved pillars, hand-forged balustrading and sweeping concrete staircase. Hand-crafted Jarrah and New Guinea Rosewood joinery feature throughout, as do lofty ceilings and plantation shutters. Serviced by a commercial-grade lift, the home continues from its grand chandelier-lit entry to a spacious open-plan living and dining area on the middle level. Fitted with banks of full-height glass that highlight the phenomenal outlook, this light-filled central space sets the scene for relaxed living and entertaining. Steps away, a generous library has full-height bookcases and a resplendent dome ceiling. There is also a formal lounge room boasting a fireplace, as well as a dedicated office. Seamlessly connected to the central living area, an enviable gourmet kitchen provides everything you need to prepare a delicious meal or host an unforgettable celebration. Showcasing a large breakfast bar and a butler’s pantry, this impeccable culinary space also displays premium appliances and ample cupboard storage. Large glass sliding doors open out to a covered full-width balcony, which has spellbinding river views and an outdoor kitchen with a built-in barbecue and bar. Cascading towards the riverfront, a sprawling grassed rear yard is adorned with flourishing gardens. You will also find a firepit area, a children’s cubby house, a heated infinity-edge swimming pool and a spa. A floodlit championship-sized tennis court is positioned at the property’s front, while a concrete slipway at the rear leads to a private boat pontoon. Finishing this marvellous outdoor area is a boathouse that has been converted into a gymnasium or yoga studio. Here, work up a sweat or master the perfect stretch while admiring stunning river and golf course views. Extending the entertainment options, a fully-equipped home theatre is on the residence’s ground level. Wine-connoisseurs will love the temperature-controlled 5,000-bottle wine cellar with a French-inspired vaulted double-barrel ceiling and linked tasting room. Also on this level, a self-contained apartment encompassing a kitchenette, a walk-in robe and an ensuite could serve as accommodation for guests, older generations of an au pair. Another highlight for the home is its opulent master suite. Positioned on the property’s third level and opening up to a huge covered balcony, a plush-carpeted master bedroom has a massive dressing room. An attached ensuite is made undeniably luxe by floor-to-ceiling marble, under-floor heating, dual vanities, a steam shower and a separate spa bath. Three additional bedrooms feature balcony access; two ensuited bedrooms have walk-in robes and another showcases a built-in robe. Accompanied by a well-appointed main bathroom and a powder room, a sixth bedroom displaying a built-in robe can double as a rumpus room. Complete with a middle-level powder room, an internal laundry and a ground-level full bathroom, the property also benefits from a three-phase solar power system, battery storage, an EV charger and a 45,000-litre underground rainwater tank. Other excellent details include a commercial-grade IT base that services the residence’s lighting system, electronically-controlled irrigation system, CCTV security and air-conditioning.
