< 1 min
This private compound presents the ultimate statement in contemporary luxury, boasting 25-metres of waterfront attached to one of Sanctuary Cove’s finest residences.
The 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4-car garage home is located on 1129sqm of prime real estate, north-facing to the deepwater surrounds of Sanctuary Cove.
Here, the home features soaring ceilings, solid concrete construction and views through the foyer to the water — setting the scene upon entry.
Designed to maximise its north-facing location, the residence is bright and airy combining tropical themes with floor-ceiling glass doors, teak and sandstone throughout.
The open plan living space hosts a gourmet kitchen at its core complete with European appliances, marble finishes and a butler’s pantry.
Complementing the main living area is a collection of other living zones including space for a billiards table, the luxury bar (complete with marble) and the covered outdoor entertaining area that features an in-built BBQ and fridges that leads to the infinity pool.
Central to the home is the use of sandstone which culminates in the circular stairwell that leads to the bedrooms. The accommodation is akin to a hotel, with all bedrooms ensuited and complete with views while lavish master suite sees an ensuite, dressing room, terrace and adult’s retreat.
Elsewhere the home is privy to an executive office and a multi-purpose room ideal for a teenager’s retreat, fifth bedroom or gym.
Further additions to the home include access to a private mooring, bespoke wine cellar, gas fireplace and built-in sound system outdoors.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is selling his Northern California estate, which was listed Monday for $24.5 million.
Located in Atherton, an extremely affluent town northwest of Palo Alto and about 30 miles south of San Francisco, the 3.36-acre property is made up of three parcels that Schmidt acquired over the years, according to public records and Compass, who has the listing.
Schmidt, 69, and his wife, businesswoman Wendy Schmidt, purchased the main home in 1990 for $2 million, according to public records accessed via PropertyShark. They remodelled the 1969 home in 2007, and at that time, bought a neighbouring parcel of land, allowing an expansion of the main house and the addition of a guest house, according to Compass, who holds the listing. A third parcel was later acquired, on which the Schmidts added an English garden house and landscaped grounds overlooking the Eastern Hills.
“Finding three contiguous parcels in Atherton is rare. Even rarer are those with views of the Eastern hills,” said listing agent Katharine Carroll of the reSolve Group at Compass. “The location of this residence is ultra private, at the back of a cul-de-sac with the main house built into a hillside that provides privacy and very good security.”
Across the estate, there are five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and six half bathrooms.
The 5,265-square-foot main house also offers a number of private outdoor spaces on its upper level, including a large terrace off the primary suite, another large terrace off a secondary bedroom, plus a third smaller terrace and two balconies.
Behind the main house is a patio with a pool and spa. For even more outdoor space, there’s an entertaining pavilion, an open lawn and an outdoor fireplace area near the guest quarters.
The grounds themselves are also a standout feature, with an array of mature plants and specimen trees. The upper portion of the property’s landscaping is designed around an Amdega-designed conservatory, which was imported from the U.K. Around the greenhouse, there is a garden of raised beds and fruit trees, Carroll said.
“From the moment you step onto the grounds, it feels as if you’ve been transported to a private botanical sanctuary,” she said.
Schmidt served as Google’s CEO from 2001 to 2011, and then became the company’s executive chairman until 2015. He could not be reached for comment.
