Cunana is situated on the Mornington Peninsular, which is called the Hamptons of the Southern hemisphere because of its reputation as the ultimate holiday enclave for moneyed mischief. It scores top points for beautiful weather, sheltered location, world-renowned boutique wineries with great restaurants, gourmet shops, championship golf courses, stunning walking trails over undulating hills, surf beaches and equestrian facilities.
On the market in excess of AUD 120 million; Cunana was designed by award-winning architect Alfred de Bruyne of SJB Architects; with SJB Interiors complementing the interiors. It is clear that the discerning eye of a perfectionist team that lays great store in minute details, was hard at work in the design and construction department.
The property sleeps 14 people, including a master-suite with a dressing room and two self-contained apartments. Five kitchens and two large terraces offer endless opportunities for entertainment. An indoor pool, gym, a games room complete with arcade machines and a private cinema keep even the most energetic guests engaged.
Klarenbeek is a classic 19th century Dutch Manor house, surrounded by 2.5 hectares of landscaped gardens. Built in 1840 by a famous waterways construction architect as his private residence, it was recently renovated into a comfortable and stylish home that retains many of its original features and stylised details.
On the ground floor, a lofty entrance hall opens to the library-an intimate, comfortable room with a fireplace. A bright eat-in kitchen leads to the cold pantry, which in turn leads to the larder and of course, the exceptional wine cellar.
The family dining room, which has a fireplace, is adjacent to the formal dining room, which is ideal for entertaining. The drawing room is situated in the extension on the ground floor: it is an elegant and bright room brimming with natural light, and features a historical fireplace with benches on either side and antique engravings on the wooden partitions.
Also on offer, a cosy wood-paneled family room with a fireplace. Original wooden floors and stained glass windows depicting historical scenes blend cleverly with antique and contemporary furnishings to lend both warmth and elegance to an extraordinary setting.
A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire the freehold of one of the last grand residences to be built on this scale in Central London. Located between Kensington Palace and Holland Park, this wonderful mansion enjoys a grand outlook over its own private walled one-acre garden and includes a detached staff cottage, extensive parking and even space for a lavish tennis court.
The mansion was built in 1915 by the celebrated pre-war architect Edward P. Warren (1856-1937) who was famous for designing many of the most prestigious college buildings at both Oxford and Cambridge. The grounds are entered by driving through the main gates past the guardhouse, and up a carriage driveway.
The planning permission allows for a total of 3,000 square metres of built-up area including a main house with eight guest bedroom suites and two staff bedrooms. There are three bedrooms in the separate staff cottage, a tennis court, and a garden pavilion.
The proposed entertainment areas include several living rooms as well as a spa, a 25-metre swimming pool, a bar, gym, sauna, steam room, cinema, squash courts, wine cellar, wine tasting room and much more. There is no property in central London that can offer the same scale of luxury and facilities. Work has yet to begin on this property so the new owner can personally design the interiors to be as whimsical or functional as desired.
