Add CategoryIf you’re craving the kind of luxury seen in scenes from Baz Luhrmann’s 1920s-themed movie extravaganza then this Applecross mansion might be right up your alley.
Built in the 1980s, this meticulously crafted estate known as Chateau Belvedere holds centre stage, elevated on one of the most sought-after streets in the riverfront suburb of Applecross.

With amazing 180-degree riverfront views, arched windows, sweeping staircases, ornate balustrading and intricate details, the commanding mansion’s design is as graceful as it is timeless.
Selling agent Olivia Porteous said the 1839sqm landholding was one of the largest in Duncraig Road and provided a significant opportunity for an astute buyer.
“It’s an iconic home and one of the biggest landholdings on Duncraig Road, which is probably the most prestigious address in Applecross,” Mrs Porteous said.
“It’s an absolute classic, but to have that landholding with the views just makes it so special.”
While the four bedrooms are more like hotel suites, each with an ensuite, the home also enjoys a detached studio with a bedroom and bathroom as additional accommodation.
Standout features include a lavish dining room, with an adjoining wine room and bar, refined living rooms with an antique marble fireplace, spectacular chandelier and incredible riverside entertaining terrace.

The kitchen has been cleverly created with entertaining in mind, incorporating a walk-in pantry, gas-induction cooktop, plate warmer, integrated fridge and dishwasher and custom cabinetry.
Outside, there is a 3m deep swimming pool, separate spa and poolside glass dome belvedere.
There is also a home office, plenty of storage, a large workshop and a basement garage for up to five vehicles.
Ms Porteous, who is taking offers, said the property is expected to fetch more than $11.5 million. It last sold two years ago for $10.5 million.
