Property of the Week: 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo

If you’ve ever ventured around the newly established precinct of Barangaroo—one of Sydney’s most important waterfront renewal projects in decades—it will become immediately apparent just how extensive its re-development has been. What once was a gasworks site and container terminal is now a thriving oasis in central Sydney; a new waterside precinct with restaurants, bars and more that locals and tourists alike flock to year round.

Not surprisingly, it has also become a highly desirable place to live. Enter 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo —a three-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury apartment on Level 59 of Crown Sydney’s One Barangaroo locale.

Seldom do property listings like this become available, particularly so soon after its completion (the apartment is less than two years old). Providing all the luxurious amenities and service one can expect from such a location, this expansive home—which is just one of 79 residential apartments—is opulent in every sense of the word.

This residence represents the pinnacle of luxury living at 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, with panoramic views of both Darling Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. Featuring three spacious bedroom suites, each with adjoining ensuites, the residence is suited to both family members and their guests who can meet in the entertaining area where attention to detail, particularly in its design, is apparent. Materials include marble, artisan timber and leather interiors, chosen to complement designer lighting fixtures and a world-class chef’s kitchen with a bookend Calacatta benchtop and Sub Zero fridges.

Living in such surroundings calls for the hospitality and service Crown has come to be known for. Residents have access to six-star hospitality establishments with priority seating—as well as a residents-only bar and restaurant—a dedicated pool and private tennis court, valet service, and even room service should you desire.

Above all else, Barangaroo South is brimming with activity; once a neglected and inaccessible area of Sydney, now residents and visitors will benefit from the dynamic cultural, residential, business and retail hub that Barangaroo has become, yet is only moments from the city’s CBD precinct.

A win-win for young couples, downsizers, and families young and old who aspire to enjoy the best of city-living without compromising on a premium lifestyle.

Address: 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW

Price guide: $15.5 million

Auction: Private Sale

Agent: The listing is with McGrath Millers Point, Richard Shalhoub (0414 466 973) and Richard Sholl (0430 803 424)

When introducing the 2026 Marshall White Prestige Property Index, the company’s group sales director, John Bongiorno, said he had high hopes for the luxury real estate market.

This positive outlook may have influenced his decision to sell his own home, Musk Ridge Farm. The 8ha Mornington Peninsula property has come to market with a price guide of $9 million to $9.5 million.

“Looking ahead, international influences are likely to remain an important factor shaping Melbourne’s prestige market throughout 2026,” he wrote.

“Australia’s reputation as a stable and desirable place to live will continue to attract strong interest from expatriate buyers returning home, and we are already seeing an increase in enquiries from this group, particularly for properties in Melbourne’s most established school zones and blue-chip suburbs.”

No doubt the company director expects demand to extend into regional Victoria. His

Flinders estate, which has pastoral and bushland views to the waters of Westernport and Phillip Island, last traded in 2017 for $4 million.

Its 2026 price guide is in line with other recent Flinders transactions. In late 2025, 2275 Mornington Flinders Rd sold for about $8.75 million, and 88 King St sold for $12.25 million.

Bongiorno’s landmark peninsula property was designed by architect Stephen Akehurst to create a coast-meets-country lifestyle estate for avid entertainers or weekend guest retreats.

The private seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence features manicured English-style gardens, a self-cleaning mosaic-tiled pool and spa, converted stable guest quarters, a separate games room with bar, a barbecue pavilion, and a self-contained manager’s cottage.

With more than four decades of prestige-market experience, Bongiorno says the same guidance he gives clients has shaped his own property decisions: desirable locations and long-term lifestyle appeal will sustain high demand.

“Regardless of market conditions, quality real estate fundamentals remain the most important consideration. For me, that has always been about location, quality of construction and a home’s ability to stand the test of time,” Bongiorno says.

“Homes that consistently perform over the long term are those positioned in tightly-held locations with genuine lifestyle appeal and quality design that will remain relevant for years to come.”

His Hamptons-style homestead features spacious interiors and designer elements, including a large entry foyer, American Oak floors, high ceilings, and multiple French doors opening onto patios and terraces. Modern amenities include hydronic heating, integrated cooling, smart home technology, and CCTV security.

The palatial main living zone is bookended by twin open fireplaces and crowned by a central iron-ring chandelier. A glass conservatory dining area captures the natural backdrop, and a quartz stone kitchen features a big island bench, Bertazzoni appliances, a butler’s pantry, a SubZero fridge/freezer, and two Vintec wine fridges.

Off the kitchen, there is also a mudroom, a powder room, a bathroom, and a commercial-grade laundry.

The ground-floor main bedroom suite includes two walk-through wardrobes, a shower ensuite, a fireplace, and access to the wraparound veranda. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms with en-suites and built-in wardrobes, along with a study area.

Outside, beyond the pool terrace and barbecue pavilion, the grounds feature fenced paddocks, a spring-fed dam, an automatic front gate, a machinery shed, a double garage, plus multiple driveway parking bays.

Bordered by the Main Ridge Nature Conservation Reserve and Manton Creek, Musk Ridge Farm is close to Red Hill and Flinders townships, and is surrounded by world-class wineries, golf courses, and the peninsula’s popular beaches.

Musk Ridge Farm at 61 Barkers Rd, Flinders is listed with Marshall White agents Stephen Baster and Rebecca O’Donnell with a price guide of $9 million to $9.5 million.
