Carrara 4211

Timeless elegance takes a contemporary twist on Main River.

Set on over an acre of prime north-facing land fronting main river, this remarkable mansion presents a unique opportunity to indulge in a modern, luxury lifestyle with all the benefits of a secluded country estate.

Dubbed "the original Gold Coast mansion" in the mid-80s for its celebrated grandeur, the timeless two-storey residence has a rich history of high-profile owners and guests, having hosted legendary soirees in its heyday.

An extensive four-year renovation by the current owners has seen the house extended, restored and modernised to an exceptional standard throughout.

Honouring a French Country aesthetic, beauty and elegance are carefully balanced by rustic elements and all the mod cons. Ornate iron doors, grand chandeliers and stately columns blend seamlessly with a bespoke selection of high-end finishes, lavish lighting choices and contemporary fixtures.

Space is a consistent theme - families can spread out across six supersize bedrooms, each with an ensuite, as well as multiple lounge and living rooms across two levels.

The ground-floor living zones open to a well-appointed outdoor area, inviting play, relaxation and entertaining in an azure inground pool, spacious pavilion with powder room, and a full-size floodlit tennis court. Ducks waddle across a lush, rolling lawn which extends all the way to the river where a private "River Room" lends itself for use as a gym, studio or man cave, while the deck is ideal for sunset drinks.
