5 La France Court
Mermaid Waters 4218

The simple joy of coming home takes on new meaning inside this one-of-a-kind estate set on one of Mermaid Waters' largest landholdings. A rare 2,280m²* triple block boasts 81.5* metres of water frontage where a prized north-east aspect affords spectacular sweeping views.

Tropical Colonial in style, an 865m² floorplan unfolds over two levels where every detail has been carefully curated to exude effortless luxury. A dramatic sense of arrival is achieved by a grand staircase crowned by a hand-sculpted plaster pendant, with skylights spilling natural light onto walls lined with oversized art.

Ground level living delivers a formal sitting room, home office and media room, each opening to a marble verandah, while a gas fireplace and antique Murano pendant anchor expansive main living and dining. A supersized stone island is the star of a showpiece kitchen, supported by a butler's pantry, backlit bar and wine cellar.

Bi-fold doors stack back for easy flow to a covered alfresco BBQ entertaining area defined by black and white checkerboard tumbled marble. An infinity-edge pool and full-size tennis court overlook the water where a pontoon and boat shed beckon.

Upstairs, the master suite boasts a raked ceiling with space to lounge or throw open French doors to enjoy the waterfront balcony. The ensuite is a study in old-world luxury with marble flooring, freestanding bath, and Astra Walker tapware. Three further bedrooms and a ground-floor guest suite ensure hosting happens with ease.

Fully fenced gardens provide safe space for kids and pets to play, while a triple garage, ducted air conditioning, custom lighting, internal and external Sonos sound and security complete the creature comforts.
