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.
