5 bedroom house

Set high on an incredibly rare land parcel spanning over 10 hectares, this stately home enjoys a prized position surrounded by established formal gardens and lush native Australian flora beyond. Adding to the uniqueness of this holding is the flexibility and future potential on offer with scope to subdivide (STCA) and capitalise on the superb convenience of the property. Favourably located with connectivity to shopping precincts, prestigious schools, the waterways of Berowra and Sydney CBD, this Arcardia property offers an idyllic country lifestyle with easy access to everyday conveniences.

The impressive main and secondary residence have been designed in a colonial period architectural style with classical interior details, including ornate mouldings, chandelier lighting, soaring 3.3m ceilings and French doors in all living and bedroom spaces opening out to the wraparound balcony. The stately entrance foyer leads to a selection of expansive living spaces with gas fireplaces, an entertainer's kitchen and covered alfresco space.

Perfectly suited to entertaining on a grand scale, 3 Calabash Road features a complete secondary residence, extensive lower-level rumpus room and dedicated billiards rooms opening to the 12.5m in-ground pool, brand-new poolside cabana and deck pavilion.
