Property of the Week: Wellness-focused riverfront mansion lists in WA
Built for a fitness entrepreneur and designed for large-scale entertaining, this high-tech riverfront compound with resort amenities is seeking around $20 million.

A racquetball court, a swimming pool with an outdoor cinema screen, an assembly of wellness amenities and a professional gym – it’s a home befitting a fitness heavyweight who loves to dabble in property.
Danny Pavlovich, CEO and founder of Nutrition Systems and former elite bodybuilder, alongside his wife Suzi, have just listed their contemporary Perth trophy home as they prepare to move into another bigwig’s mansion.
The Pavlovichs’ Nedlands compound is surplus to the supplement founder’s needs after the high-profile pair spent $27.5 million in 2020 on the Dalkeith mansion once owned by disgraced entrepreneur Alan Bond.
A one-time professional athlete, Pavlovich has grown Nutrition Systems – Australia and New Zealand’s largest importer and distributor of premium sports and nutritional supplements – into a global brand offering more than 1800 products across speciality stores, grocery, pharmacy, convenience, and online channels.
Pavlovich said that stepping away from the home he has shared with his wife and two children is “bittersweet”, but the couple were invested in redeveloping in Dalkeith.
“We built something truly special, but we love building at this level,” he said.
“My family and I love this house. We use every space; there is no wasted area. It was purpose-built for us. You can lock up and leave; it offers full remote smart control. The view from my office is a highlight, and the fully equipped gym and wellness facilities were essential from the outset.”
Although there is no public record of what the couple paid for 37 Esplanade, Vivienne Yap of Ray White Dalkeith/Claremont has listed the property via a private treaty campaign for $20 million.
“This property redefines luxury living in Perth,” Yap said.
“From its unprecedented scale to its seamless, fully integrated Savant and Lutron smart-home technology, it represents a truly rare offering in the blue-chip riverfront precinct.”
On a 1407sq m riverfront block along the tightly-held Esplanade in exclusive Nedlands, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home spans three levels and is connected by a private elevator while being surveilled by 16 security cameras.
Built in 2018 to be the ultimate Perth entertainer, the prestige property has vast open-plan living and dining zones inside, with resort-style amenities outside.
There is a sunken alfresco lounge and outdoor kitchen with a nine-seater teppanyaki grill beside the heated white mosaic saltwater pool. More than just a backyard swimming hole, the pool features LED water features and fountains, plus a cinema wall and a spa.
Additional entertaining features include a cinema with a Steinway Lyngdorf 9.2 Aura surround sound system, a cocktail lounge with a video wall, a billiards room, a steam room, an infrared sauna, a full gymnasium, and a private racquetball court.
Upstairs, the whole-floor primary retreat is home to a sitting area, a kitchenette, a grand dressing room, and a lavish hotel-style ensuite.
All bathrooms have heated floors and towel rails, while the main living zones also have hydronic heated flooring.
Designed with a long list of high-tech features, the modern mansion has 16 security cameras with infrared and motion detection, a temperature-controlled server room, automated window furnishings, a smart home system controlled via a Savant and Lutron platform, and a whole-home water filtration system.
The property, which also has secure garaging for up to six cars, sits opposite Charles Court Reserve and Nedlands Jetty and is a short walk from Nedlands Tennis Club and Nedlands Golf Club.
The expansive property at 37 Esplanade, Nedlands, is listed with Vivien Yap at Ray White Dalkeith/Claremont, with a price expectation of $20 million.

Along Sydney’s Parramatta River, waterfront real estate offers significantly more bang for buck than the eye-watering Eastern Suburbs.
While a house on the harbour will easily set you back more than $25 million, a five-bedroom absolute waterfront trophy home in Tennyson Point has come to market with $9 million price hopes ahead of its March 28 auction.
Listed with Michael Gallina and Cameron Brown of Belle Property North Shore, the 1,100 sq m waterside parcel last traded for $4.6 million in 2021.
The contemporary home of car dealer Nathan Sawyers and food stylist Amber De Florio borders Morrisons Bay and the local reserve, with sweeping views across the water.
“We enjoy relaxing on the alfresco balcony, capturing spectacular 180-degree views of the water, bushland and park. We have a designer fire pit by the water’s edge, and we can take a stroll in the park just outside our back gate,” Amber said.
“Our home also has a full wellness centre, including a gym and sauna, leading out to the freshwater pool and entertaining area.”
Inside the three-level home, with its 564 sq m of living space, it is no surprise that Amber’s marble kitchen features all the professional foodie bells and whistles. These include a four-metre eat-at scalloped island bench and a large butler’s pantry.
There are V-ZUG appliances throughout, including an integrated microwave, two ovens, a steam oven, Pitt gas cooktop, two fridge-freezers and two dishwashers.
Beyond the inviting front porch, the primary living level houses a spacious living and dining zone designed for large-scale entertaining. The space flows onto a covered terrace, pool area and generous lawn with direct private access to the bay.
This entry-level also features a study, a powder room, a commercial-sized laundry with a chute from the upstairs bathroom, a separate cinema room, and a self-contained one-bedroom apartment.
On the second floor, there are four more bedrooms, including the palatial main suite with a wet bar and Zip HydroTap, full-width balcony, dressing room-style walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with twin vanities and a double rain shower.
This upper level also includes a second living space opening onto the balcony, along with a family bathroom and separate toilet.
Unsurprisingly, given Sawyer’s day job, the house comes equipped with a vast five-car garage, plus an adjoining home gym or lower-ground rumpus room with wet bar, bathroom and cedar sauna.
Extra features include a hydraulic lift to all three levels, Pixie Bluetooth smart-home system, outdoor gas kitchen, underfloor heating, and a heated mosaic-tiled pool and spa with a Naked Water pool system.
