Commanding an unrivalled position in Adams Basin, this landmark Main River estate offers resort-style living on Isle of Capri's exclusive The Corso.
Facing north-east across four blocks with 42.5 metres of water frontage, a tri-level mansion delivers magnificent views, with the iconic highrises Q1, Soul and Jewel Residences forming a striking backdrop to Girung Island in the centre of the basin.
The private gated entrance with imposing porte-cochere is a fitting introduction to the architect-designed, Balinese-style residence carved out of sandstone, New Guinea rosewood, teak and Oregon timber.
An impressive floor plan spanning more than 2000m2 is an entertainer's paradise with two wings wrapping around a central atrium where a suspended teak platform is flanked by a wet-edge pool. Lofty raked ceilings with exposed beams form a pyramid with a glass peak allowing light and sunshine to pour inside.
Water features, indoor gardens and banks of floor-to-ceiling glazing peel back to connect a multitude of indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces and patios promoting seamless alfresco living that capitalises on panoramic views.
Spread across the ground level is an open-plan entertainer's kitchen, living and dining space with a central gas fireplace, guest bedroom, formal dining room, living room, wet bar, study, cinema room, billiards room and laundry.
A further four bedrooms, including the master suite, occupy the upper level alongside a fully equipped gym. The basement is the reserve of a spacious six-car garage with masses of storage space and a temperature-controlled wine cellar holding up to 4000 bottles.
Mature coconut and date palms stand sentinel over the inner-city oasis, with a private sandy beach and mature tropical gardens enhancing the overall holiday resort feel of this central trophy estate.
