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.

After half a century in the same hands, The Palladium blends Art Deco heritage, cinematic history and beachfront living in one extraordinary offering.

In Sydney’s Northern Beaches, there are plenty of homes with a multimillion-dollar view and an enviable position close to the sand.
This unique listing has all that, but it has also earned its page in the local history books.
After 50 years in the same hands, The Palladium in Palm Beach—once a famed dance hall, then a restaurant, a private residence, and an artists’ studio—is now back on the market with a price hopes of $13.5 million through BJ Edwards and David Edwards of LJ Hooker Palm Beach.
Positioned in a rare corner spot where Ocean Rd meets Palm Beach Rd, The Palladium has been front and centre observing the famous sandy stretch for almost a century.
Built in the early 1930s, the Art Deco building was originally conceived as a vibrant community dance hall; the “it” place to be for young folk during Sydney’s thriving interwar period.
Often the dances were held to raise money for the Palm Beach Surf Life Saving Club, and newspaper reports of the time told of rowdy parties lasting until the early hours, bootleg liquor arrests, and where shorts and sandals—or even pyjamas—were scandalously worn by “both sexes”.
Over the decades, The Palladium has worn many hats.
By 1943, the original owner, Joseph Henry Graham, had defaulted on his loan, and a mortgagee sale reportedly sold the building for £1550, which translates to about $137,000 today. It later became a dining space and a general store run by the Milton family. In the 1960s and early 1970s, the property was also home to the Blue Pacific Restaurant.
The current owners acquired the keys in 1976 when it began its next chapter as a creative hub. One of today’s vendors, filmmaker David Elfick, who has been a filmmaker and producer on such films as Newsfront and Rabbit-Proof Fence, has told stories of a free-spirited creative hub that has been used for film sets, to store numerous movie props, as editing rooms, to hold countless parties and has even hosted visiting members of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
From its famed beachside soirees to its grassroots film club nights, the venue has become woven into the cultural fabric of Palm Beach.
Today, that rich history has been reimagined into a coastal home that honours its past while embracing contemporary beachside living.
Built in a unique architectural style known as streamline moderne, the aeroplane hangar-like building reflects the era’s fascination with air travel, mass transport, and modernity. The facade is defined by a sweeping curved roofline and subtle nautical cues.
The main residence features a vast central living space framed by a number of bedrooms and sunrooms, as well as a front dining room and kitchen. In total, there are four to five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a powder room adjoining an upstairs loft space.
Big, broad windows draw in loads of natural light and provide iconic views, plus the sounds of the beach just across the road.
Many of the original elements remain, most fittingly the polished floors of the former dance hall. In the additional building at the back of the block, there is a separate, self-contained studio with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and laundry. From its elevated deck, the outlook stretches across the full sweep of Palm Beach.
Outside, the expansive 1151sq m land parcel also features established gardens with veggie patches and standalone decks for quiet contemplation.
Sitting just across the road from the beach, the property is also within walking distance of local cafes and the surf club. Palm Beach Rock Pool is at one end of the beach, with the Palm Beach Golf Club and the water airport at the other end of the peninsula.
The Palladium and Palm Beach Studio at 16 Ocean Rd, Palm Beach are listed with BJ Edwards and David Edwards of LJ Hooker Palm Beach via a private treaty campaign with a price guide of $13.5 million.
