Solare d'Oro does not announce itself from the street. It reveals itself once the gates close behind you.
The Italian hand is unmistakable. Terracotta roof tiles imported from Italy. A stone paved arrival sweeping to a central water feature. A 5.1 metre portico. Colonnaded verandahs on every side. Imported Italian travertine and marble carry throughout the property, laid with a restraint that speaks of confidence rather than display. Spotted gum hardwood runs the length of the living zones. Chandeliers make quiet statements in the foyer, the library and the master suite. Custom panelling and wainscoting, executed by hand, give the rooms the elegance of proportion rather than ornament.
The decisions here were made once and made correctly. Italian terracotta rather than concrete tile. Copper guttering rather than colorbond. Australian wool rather than builder's grade. Full marble rather than reconstituted stone. This is sophistication of the enduring kind, the sort that reveals itself slowly, in the weight of a door and the fall of light across a marble floor. Nothing was value engineered, and it shows in every room.
Beyond the terrace, a twenty by eleven metre pool sits in a private northern aspect with its own hexagonal pavilion, the hinterland rising beyond toward Nerang National Park.
And then there is the scale of it. Two acres of rare, flat, usable land. Four separate buildings. A main residence of 968 square metres. A self contained cottage residence. Two worksheds with ceilings to 4.8 metres. A six bay truck carport standing 5.5 metres tall. In total, 1,766 square metres under roof, thirty four vehicles and more, and two entirely independent households living side by side without ever crossing paths.
It is a configuration the hinterland simply does not produce, and the reason this address will not be compared to anything else on the market.
