The brief

A private client sought a substantial landholding to develop a high-end luxury home for private and corporate events, with a short-term stay offering once complete. The land was assessed for scale, privacy and access ahead of the design and construction phases now underway.

Why we bought it
  1. 01

    Scale for the vision

    18,000sqm allows for a principal residence, event lawns and guest accommodation without compromising on privacy or setbacks.

  2. 02

    Bought before the market saw it

    Secured off-market through a relationship with the vendor's solicitor, ten days before the campaign was due to launch.

  3. 03

    Dual-use from day one

    The site and approvals pathway were assessed for both private residential use and short-term / corporate event hosting.
