32 East Street, Redwood QLD
Picture-perfect Glen Alpine, built c 1918 and thoughtfully modernised by architect Paul Owen, commands magical views over Redwood Park, Table Top Mountain and the Lockyer Valley. Set on 3590 square metres, it has beautiful gardens with a pool, gazebo and veggie plots. Inside there’s an impressive array of living spaces including a handsome library with a fireplace.
19 Bellara Street, Ashmore QLD
Boasting 57.5 metres of river frontage and views that extend to Tamborine Mountain, Bellara is a private retreat with a championship-size tennis court, lagoon-like pool, yoga deck and ice bath. Clad in Ledgestone with a Spanish slate roof, the unique house features high ceilings, large expanses of sliding glass, larch flooring and a Tuscan marble kitchen.
57 Canadian Bay Road, Mount Eliza
A short walk from the beach, this light-filled home successfully merges indoor-outdoor living. Designed by Aych Architects, the main living zone opens to a poolside patio and outdoor kitchen. Families will love the two additional living rooms, generous office and a study area. Highlights include a wine room-cellar, sauna and high-tech extras. The serene landscaping adds a finishing touch.

No wonder this quiet cul-de-sac spot, close to Beatty Avenue and Hawksburn, is highly sought after. Expect all the luxe bells and whistles and a glamour factor, courtesy of architect Stephen Jolson. Standouts include a discreet kitchen and living zone that extends to a manicured terrace. A media room, lift and spa round out the package.
45 Waterfall Gully Road, Main Ridge VIC
Looking over Bass Strait and surrounded by vines, this new retreat is perfect for all seasons. The beautifully detailed main living space steals the limelight, lying between a protected Mediterranean-style courtyard with olive trees and a covered front deck. On four hectares, it includes an orchard. “It has magnificent Bass Strait and rural views,” the agent says.
33 Parsley Road, Vaucluse NSW
It’s a 300-metre walk from the front door to Parsley Bay Reserve and beach from Eze House, a near-new residence with all the bells and whistles you’d expect in this exclusive locale. Designed by Sofair Design to make the most of the north-east aspect and harbour views, the home has a magnesium pool set within Will Dangar-designed gardens.
Penthouse/171 La Trobe Street, Melbourne VIC
With the city’s most famous sights as a backdrop, this iconic penthouse – designed by Nonda Katsalidis in 1991 – is as glamorous as it gets. The living-dining room hogs the limelight with a dramatic void, glass walls on three sides and an adjoining leafy terrace. Guests will be equally awed by the rooftop terrace and retreat with kitchen/bar.
