On a coveted street in an exclusive cul-de-sac neighbourhood and one of Dural's most prestigious enclaves possessing both privacy and proximity, this stately double brick residence is enveloped in an aura of enchantment and tranquillity on a fully arable hectare (2.5 acres) surrounded by fencing and meticulously landscaped grounds of magnificent botanical gardens. Cascading waterfalls, Koi ponds, multiple fountains and an expansive private lake with water features together create a melodic symphony to soothe the soul, while carefully considered Feng Shui characteristics ensure a balanced and harmonious living environment.

The gardens combine formal symmetry and whimsicality in a natural ecosystem comprising more than 100 species of flora that provide compelling synchronicity between the artistry of the panoramic landscape and the interior. From the picturesque lake with its elegant teahouse, the meticulously manicured hedging, statuesque 40-year Maple trees and towering palms, the swathes of level lawn, the playful water features or tranquil stone courtyards, no two outlooks are the same from anywhere in the house. Meandering granite pathways, charming footbridges, an abundance of marine life including lively koi fish along with the use of boulders throughout the landscaping and sea bed stone in the ponds heighten the allure of this extraordinary estate.

Once inside, an enthralling castle-like foyer with a dramatic cathedral ceiling and sparkling gold-plated chandelier make an immediate impact and serve as an introduction to the grand proportions and captivating opulence showcased within including exquisite marble accents delivering architectural cohesion throughout. Every aspect of the home has been carefully considered and reflects a devotion to elegant craftsmanship and effortless functionality. Generous glass captures the light from a desirable northeast orientation creating an ambience of warmth and openness, while bay windows frame unencumbered vistas of the sanctuary gardens. There are multiple living and entertainment areas under majestic ceilings including a banquet room reminiscent of a regal chateau and featuring elaborately scaled French windows adding a touch of old-world charm.

Accommodation comprises up to five oversized bedrooms all with ensuite facilities including a lavish master retreat with a garden viewing platform plus private guest quarters and an executive study. Also featuring a four-car lockup garage with a workshop area and additional off-street parking, this remarkable estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - an oasis of calm and serenity that feels wonderfully secluded yet is only moments from every conceivable convenience.
