Award-Winning Architectural Residence - Bridle Path Retreat

Where phenomenal design meets luxury living — this award-winning architectural masterpiece offers an unforgettable stay surrounded by nature, light, and elegance.



The Home



Thoughtfully designed with intelligent spatial flow and bespoke finishes, this expansive home embraces its valley setting through large glass windows that flood the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with natural light and panoramic views.



The stunning in-ground heated saltwater pool (available November–March) forms the heart of the outdoor experience — complemented by a covered louvre entertainment area and built-in dining zone, ideal for alfresco meals and long summer evenings.



Inside, a sunken lounge framed by a striking timber-cast concrete wall creates a cocoon of warmth and texture — the perfect place to curl up in front of the gas fire year-round.
