A world away from the everyday, yet remarkably close to the city, "Arcadia" is a unique paradise. Harmonising timeless architectural romance, botanical beauty, and resort-style recreation on a secluded 4047m2; estate, it offers the serenity of country living without sacrificing urban convenience. Most extraordinary, however, is its sense of magic. A tapestry of towering trees, shaded sitting areas, sprawling lawns and gardens bursting with year-round colour, it is so much more than a magnificent acreage retreat - it is a happy haven for generations to gather and cherished family memories to unfold.
Set well back from the street, the two-storey residence at the heart of this estate is grand in both scale and style. With an exceptionally versatile 914m2; floorplan that evolves with every age and stage of life, it offers a renovated kitchen and multiple expansive living and dining zones that spill outside through charming French doors. A spacious master suite with ensuite also capitalises on the lush surrounds, offering idyllic views, complemented by three additional bedrooms and three bathrooms. Adding further enviable flexibility is an ensuite bedroom above the garage (with provisions for a future kitchenette), a bedroom/gym with private external access and an executive office/library.
Outdoors, an enchanting array of spaces to rejuvenate or reconnect awaits. Gather with guests in the central covered courtyard, where integrated terrace seating invites long lunches and lingering conversations. Spend sun-drenched afternoons by the centrepiece pool, or watch children and their imaginations take flight across the vast grounds. For a little friendly competition, follow the winding path to the resurfaced, championship-sized tennis court, complete with a charming spectators' pavilion. Then, as dusk settles, decant your favourite chilled wine from the cellar and gather around the firepit to share stories under the stars.
