Awakening the grandeur of an 18th-century French château

This distinguished estate seamlessly blends multi-faceted luxury with refined elegance and cutting-edge innovation across an exquisite 2,400sqm (approx.) expanse. Every detail exudes opulence in this seamless indoor-outdoor design, from its prestigious Toorak setting to the north-south tennis court, state-of-the-art gym, and self-contained one-bedroom guest house. Built substantially with limestone and crowned by a slate roof, deliberately aged to echo historic nobility, the estate is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, with hand-carved details of the work of monumental stonemasons. At the entrance, restored 18th-century front doors imported from the Louvre in Paris stand as an elegant prelude to the bespoke interiors, lavishly accented with marble in a symphony of colour and lustre. A double-height void within the foyer accentuates the scale and luminosity, enhanced by coffered ceilings and anchored by an elegant ribbon staircase alongside a private internal lift. Four commercial-grade kitchens cater to everyday living, grand entertaining, and sophisticated event hosting, each integrating with expansive living spaces. Automatic sliding glass walls within the north-facing living and dining rooms erase the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, leading to a fully automated infinity pool, spa, and a suspended fireplace surrounded by a spherical fire pit and lush, landscaped gardens. Four bedrooms with designer ensuites within the guest wing provide the utmost comfort and privacy. The primary suite, an epitome of unparalleled luxury, boasts separate his-and-her dressing rooms and two full ensuites adorned with elaborate marble finishes, complemented by a custom-designed study. The residence also has a billiards room, home theatre, poolside cabana bathroom, an independent gym with a steam room and sauna, seven-car basement parking, and a private art gallery. Additional features include a formal dining room with an adjoining crystal bar, a library with a mezzanine, and commercial laundry.
