Nothing can prepare you for your first visit to Angophora Lodge, it is unquestionably one of Sydney's finest estates - quite simply in a class of its own.
A sophisticated showcase of sheer grandeur, opulence and natural beauty, it leaves nothing undone in its quest to provide the ultimate world-class luxury retreat just 25 minutes from Sydney CBD.
Soaring over two impeccably crafted levels, with sweeping north easterly bushland views as its romantic backdrop, it is concept designed to provide a glamorous gala entertaining venue and private family resort-like lifestyle retreat with every conceivable luxury. Situated on 16,500sqm of exquisitely landscaped grounds and rolling lawns adjoining the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, it comes complete with a separate two bedroom guest retreat, championship size floodlit north south tennis court and a magnificent 30m x 20m lagoon pool with a cascading waterfall.
Accessed via a remote controlled security gate, your guests alight in the porte cochere and proceed to a grand formal entrance foyer adjoined by an imported Italian marble guest powder room and home office.
Each of the living rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass retractable walls opening to the rear verandah and include a formal living room warmed by an open Jetmaster fireplace with sandstone surround, casual living space with defined dining area plus an enormous family entertainment room complete with Caesar Stone wet bar with two glass fronted wine/beer fridges, billiard area with bespoke lighting, built-in tropical aquarium plus heated underflooring. It opens seamlessly to a customised entertainers' pavilion equipped with a Caesar Stone wet bar, built-in barbecue plus pizza oven.
Focused around a Corian breakfast island, the state-of-the art Miele equipped kitchen boasts electric induction cooktop, wall ovens, steam oven plus microwave, integrated dishwasher and a built-in espresso machine.
All of the bedrooms are king-sized and furnished with built-in wardrobes and the master suite boasts a walk-in robe/dressing room with a fitted dressing table and an ensuite. Each of the bathrooms have been styled in ultra-chic themes and come complete with heated underflooring.
The grounds, which feature a spectacular 600,000L lagoon pool as the centre piece, have been freshly improved by award-winning Landscape design company LandArt, with floodlit paths, tropical gardens and wooden decks. A thatch roof cabana overlooks the lagoon which features a cascading waterfall flowing from an upper pool, cantilevered pontoon and resident Water Dragons lazing by the edges.
A separate self-contained two bedroom guest retreat, fitted out with modern kitchen and bathroom plus living and dining areas opening on to a large terrace, sits above a four car lock-up garage which could be converted into stables. Adjacent is an acoustically modified music/rumpus room and gym which sits above a large machinery shed, currently housing a further six cars and hoist, that could easily accommodate a helicopter.
Toward the rear of the property, where a large post and rail paddock nudges the national parkland, there's a floodlit tennis court, chicken coop and fenced vegetable gardens.
Additional features include a monumental timber and sandstone faade, triple lock-up garage with internal access, remote controlled multi-zoned ducted air conditioning, award winning fully integrated C-Bus smart system and surround sound, retractable televisions, rosewood flooring, CCTV security system, biometric scanner and pin code keyless entry via an automated security gate and new mesh fencing enclosing the grounds.
