Mr Parker said the 1ha property’s infinity pool included a 12-seater spa, swim-up bar and gazebo.
Recognised in the Swimming Pool & Spa Association’s 2023 Pool of the Year awards,
it sits near an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, concrete benches, bar fridges and a sink.
“It is like as a resort pool, there’s the beautiful greenery hanging down over the bar in the middle of the pool,” Mr Parker said.
There’s even a tennis court, three-hole minigolf course and pool house containing a kitchen, servery windows, a powder room, six-seater infra-red sauna, and a combined workshop and storage space.
The pool has featured on the TV program Australia’s Best Pools.
The kitchen showcases 2-pac finishes and stone benchtops.
A series of French doors open to the outside.
The owner, a builder, constructed the five-bedroom house for his family including three children.
“The vendor had his fortieth birthday there and I was lucky enough to attend, there was probably more than a 100 people there,” Mr Parker said.
“It’s definitely an awesome entertainer’s house and party house.”
Mr Parker said the home had also been featured on the television show Australia’s Best Pools.
Other highlights include a 12-car garage plus an additional three-car garage, gardens by the award-winning landscape design and construction firm Landart, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and bar, and solar panels.
There’s a 12-car garage and a three-car garage, making the home ideal for car collectors.
The house offers an automation system with a camera surveillance system, alarm system, electric blinds and a C-Bus lighting system.
Double pink basins in one of the bathrooms.
The kitchen is fitted with a Liebherr fridge and freezer, 900mm Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop, dual 750mm Fisher & Paykel pyrolytic ovens, two integrated Bosch dishwashers, an InSinkErator disposal system and a butler’s pantry.
The main bedroom showcases a dressing room with shoe racks, glass display cabinets and storage space, an ensuite and courtyard with a custom-built spa.
Mr Parker said the builder and his family had every intention of the house being their “forever home” but had decided to build another amazing abode not too far away.
