There is simply no comparison to "The Pale." Far more than a magnificent Main River estate with sweeping city skyline views, this is a residence of Quality over Quantity - a Toorak-style French Provincial masterpiece crafted for the individual who appreciates the structural permanence of a European manor with an open-plan layout for modern living.
Crafted without compromise, it offers the one thing money rarely buys on the Gold Coast: Elegance and Structural Permanence, perfectly combined.
This is not a "build"; it is a 100-year legacy.
Hidden behind high-set fencing on a 604m² block, a gatehouse showcasing custom American Oak double doors opens to reveal a world of wonder. Towering pencil pines stand sentinel over manicured gardens, while an avenue-style pathway lined with tropical birch trees guides you toward a residence of gracious proportions. French classical style dual rows of soaring arched steel windows are inset into the imposing artisan rendered façade and offset by decorative wrought iron detailing. The home's symmetry evokes an ambience that is as calming as it is opulent - a feeling that continues indoors. Expansive yet intimate, the sweeping sandstone staircase provides a grand-scale backdrop for high-society entertaining, yet the home remains intimately scaled for quiet, peaceful living.
Parisian panache also defines the sophisticated bedroom suites, where ensuites include Dutch-designed tapware and Italian porcelain full-height tiling. Additionally, entertaining is effortless thanks to a gourmet Wyer & Craw kitchen with an acclaimed French Lacanche range cooker. Host guests in the lavish living and dining zone that gleams with Versailles pattern European Oak floors or the expansive alfresco terrace overlooking a sun-soaked pool and breathtaking Broadbeach to Main Beach vistas.
Exceptional extras include a study, powder room, music room, and 8-car basement garage, with superior inclusions carefully sourced across the globe. Just as prestigious is the location, with this exclusive enclave situated a short stroll from upscale Capri on Via Roma and close to world-class Surfers Paradise beaches.
