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.
