Welcome to Amani Palace, a home shaped by creativity, contrast and an exceptional connection to its surroundings. Completed in August 2024, this extraordinary residence sits high above the landscape, opening to unbelievable river and mountain views that shift in colour, from sunrise to dusk. Its architecture blends into the natural setting while giving way to moments of bold expression, texture and light. This is a home designed to be experienced, a place for stillness, a space for celebration and a backdrop for moments of joy, connection and intention.
The entry is unforgettable. Cyprus timber posts and limestone tiles frame the threshold, leading to a spectacular formed concrete feature wall rising through a soaring void foyer. Art, shadows and natural light move across the space as the day changes, setting the tone for a home that balances strength with softness, drama with calm. The concrete floors are finished to a highly polished 1500 grit, that reflects the outdoors into the home beautifully, while the engineered oak staircase draws the eye upward in warm, natural contrast.
Every room on the ground level has been crafted for comfort, atmosphere and connection. The cinema living room is rich and layered, wrapped in ceiling hung green velvet curtains, anchored by a sculptural two-way fireplace, custom cabinetry, all framed by captivating hinterland views that feel almost cinematic themselves.
The kitchen is a centerpiece of sculptural beauty and function. A generous skylight illuminates the Brazilian leathered quartzite island bench, anchored by a solid brass circular support and completed with a recessed black sink with brushed gold tapware. Black honed quartzite benchtop forms the backdrop for the induction cooktop, paired with dual Fisher and Paykel ovens, an integrated fridge and double drawer dishwashers, with space provided for a future wine fridge. The butler's pantry extends the craftsmanship with quartzite surfaces and splash-back, flowing seamlessly into the laundry where beautiful cabinetry, a hanging rack and a vacuum nook create a highly considered workspace. Every element is designed to blend everyday practicality with a sense of curated luxury.
Glass sliders with Centor flyscreens open fully to reveal a concrete terrace and a breathtaking outdoor setting. A 15 metre saltwater lap pool with waterfall edge and spa stretches towards an uninterrupted panorama of river, mountain and sky, all serviced by remotely operated pool equipment. A cantilever gazebo offers shade and tranquility, while a rear timber deck with built in Artusi BBQ, sink and bench space further enhances the outdoor living experience. The garden is planted entirely with native Australian species that attract local birdlife, and privacy surrounds the home with Ninderry Reserve bordering two boundary lines.
Upstairs, the home opens again into spaces that offer both privacy and versatility. An oversized office provides remarkable flexibility, with a beautifully scaled room that can transform into a studio, gym, games room or additional accommodation, adapting seamlessly to the way you choose to live. Woodcut engineered oak flooring flows throughout, leading to two generous guest suites. One features sage cabinetry and soft outlooks, while the other showcases a formed concrete feature wall, the fireplace flue as sculptural detail, sage joinery and an ensuite finished in apricot marble, formed concrete and warm natural materials.
The main bathroom continues the level of craftsmanship with limestone flooring, a floating vanity with formed concrete sink, marble feature tiles, a freestanding bath, brushed gold fittings and a wall hung toilet with concealed cistern.
The master suite is a sanctuary, elevated by linen curtains, a leather built in bedhead, Tom Dixon Melt pendants and views that shape the room's calming presence. The ensuite is exceptional, with a custom formed concrete bath, twin wall to wall shower framing a picture window, curved Artedomus feature tiles rising from floor to ceiling and a striking Australian artist Kerrie Brown wallpaper that adds depth and expression to the space. A Bluetooth mirror, concealed cistern toilet and a walk-in robe designed with Hollywood style detailing complete this beautifully curated retreat. A study nook on the way to the master offers a quiet moment for thought, creativity or work.
Downstairs, underfloor heating warms the polished concrete, supported by reverse cycle Fujitsu ducted air conditioning and the Sculpt built in fireplace. The powder room adds a touch of playful expression with floral wallpaper, marble tiles and pendant lighting. Additional features include low emissivity glazing on all windows, a triple panel lift garage with workshop area, a custom-built bar, 13 kW solar, a 120,000 litre tank plus an additional 25,000 litres, a UV twin cartridge filtration system and a spacious driveway accommodating four extra cars.
On the lower level of the property, a substantial shed offers genuine flexibility, two thirds enclosed and finished as a self-contained space with bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, timber flooring and adaptable living zones. Approved as a shed with toilet, it is ideal for guests, multi-generational living, creative pursuits or studio use.
Amani Palace is a home where architecture meets emotion, expressive yet refined, luxurious yet deeply comfortable. It invites you to slow down, to celebrate, to connect and to embrace the beauty of its setting. A home alive with light, movement and atmosphere, designed for those who value creativity, nature, comfort and the art of truly living.
