Gold Coast mega Mansion! This magnificent Californian-inspired chateau manor sits on 3,227 square meters of waterfront gated grounds in an exclusive enclave of Gracemere, Hope Island.

Completed in 2014, this 2416 square meter chateau-style manor was constructed over four years to the highest standards of craftsmanship in a collaboration with world-renowned cabinetmakers Wallace and Hinz of New York, designers Clive Christin of London and an accomplished team of artisans, artists, and masons.

The stately masterpiece boasts an exposed stone facade, crowned by a Spanish-inspired red-clay tile turreted roof finished with patinated copper guttering and downpipes. Beneath, within its palatial living spaces are exquisite finishes and details: custom millwork, ornamental cornice, ceiling medallions, wainscoting, archways with decorative corbels, marbleized paint finishes and pillars throughout. Floors of polished hand-cut Crema Marfil marble grace the floor plan, while oversized custom arched glass windows bring in the light and the views of the verdant landscaped grounds and waterfront views. With world-standard QVS CCTV security system and panic room complete with twin safes.

Grand scaled reception rooms and intimate family spaces are ideally suited for both entertaining and everyday living, and five bedrooms and eight bathrooms offer ample accommodations for guests, staff, and extended family.
