This architectural showpiece 'Melaleuca', regarded as one of Sydney's most spectacular homes, is a completely private paradise with a stunning outlook on the waterfront at Palm Beach.
One of Ocean Road's best landholdings, this 2564sqm block holds two exclusive street frontages and borders Wiltshire Park Nature Reserve. The property faces north to north-east looking out to the Pacific Ocean.
Designed by celebrated architect Susan Rothwell, the combined indoor/outdoor floor area of 719sqm functions like a private resort - it caters for both grand-scale entertaining and effortless daily living. The pavilion-style layout creates a home for all seasons, open to the outdoors, enjoying postcard views and northern sun year round. With a design centered around a mineral swimming pool, the various terraces and level lawns extend out through a series of bi-fold and sliding doors. Relax to the soundtrack of rolling waves and native birdlife and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty, framed through over-sized floor-to-ceiling doors and windows. Tactile materials, inspired by the idyllic coastal setting, feature heavily throughout including cedar shutters, repurposed extra-wide timber floorboards and Travertine and Limestone tiles.
Native planting pairs superbly with the timeless architecture to showcase the unique coastal conditions. Palm Beach is the epitome of Australian beach life with spectacular scenery, foreshore walks and water activities on hand, as well as access to fine dining.
