One of Queensland’s most amazing properties, this resort-style home is nestled within multi-award winning tropical gardens. For sale by Craig Porter of LJ Hooker Mooloolaba.
Meticulously designed to mirror a 7-star Bali resort, ‘Villa Asmara’ is a stunning 7-bedroom property on the Sunshine Coast.
Asmara is the Indonesian word for love, an appropriate choice for a property crafted as a labour of love by the owners, incorporating traditional architecture and beliefs, sustainable building materials, luxurious touches and state of the art technology.
“Villa Asmara was designed to provide on opulent yet relaxed environment, reflecting a lifestyle of resort living and marrying together my years of travel in exotic tropical locations,” the current owner told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
“Detail, layering of natural materials, and a design that integrates living spaces with the garden were quintessential in creating a luxurious home that allows you to transcend to a place of peace and harmony, yet be so close to all the action the beautiful Sunshine Coast has to offer.”
Featuring multiple extra-large indoor and outdoor zones for living and entertaining, the property’s tranquil water garden features a free floating timber walkway which leads to a series of private pavilions, with numerous and strategically placed water features and Balinese statues each chosen for their symbolic meaning.
Designed to flow from the inside out, the garden’s meandering paths reveal elaborate stonework, wood carvings, hand twisted copper piping, manmade rock caves, even colourful ‘candi bentar’, the traditional Balinese split gate. A sweeping 15m waterslide splashes around the jumping rocks into the family sized pool. It is this depth of layering and design that won the Best Residential Design and Construct award at the 2015 Queensland Landscape Awards.
Noosa’s Moonah Landscapes took on the major works in the gardens. Craig Tilley, Director of Moonah Landscapes told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “We titled the works Bali luxe on the hill in Buderim. The landscape design is surely unique, featuring multiple tranquil water features and parents’ retreat zones. The landscape is both a winter and summer delight.”
Inside, the home echoes traditional Balinese living spaces with a cluster of purpose designed buildings for living, sleeping and entertaining. Noosa Interior Designer Monica Kohler of Renovation Angel was responsible for the house, extensions and renovations.
“Once you enter, you will not want to leave, you have found heaven!” Kohler told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “Villa Asmara is a luxurious palatial private resort home. Beautiful natural finishes such as Quartzite, Marble, Natural Ashlar stone, Recycled timber, and Travertine encapsulate pure luxury throughout. Carefully composed stone and rock with water features and swimming areas can be seen from most areas of the home to bring clarity and peace.”
Building on the sense of fluidity, the chef’s kitchen, with hidden butler’s preparation kitchen and pantry, flows straight out to the main outdoor living space, complete with built-in stainless steel BBQ, pizza oven, bar fridge and with enough space to easily house a full-size billiard table and spacious living area.
The home features 7 bedrooms, including a jaw-dropping master retreat with high vaulted ceilings, heated indoor/ outdoor shower, private salt pool with bionised mineral plunge pool, double-sided fireplace and a walk-in robe.
The 6 additional oversized bedrooms feature tropical garden views and a second master guest room with ensuite, with stunning pool views and a private enclosed garden.
A second pool and outdoor TV entertaining area sits on the opposite side to the main pool, offering a 12-person spa, sauna, and more water features. This family entertainment zone is complete with a half-sized tennis court or basketball arena, Hoyts-inspired cinema, fully equipped gymnasium, and a separate meditation/massage hut offering views of the running stream which passes through the gardens.
The internal lock up garage houses 3 cars, whilst there is another lock-up area providing two more spaces. The driveway also has ample parking space for larger vehicles, boat or motor home.
Private and elevated, the home sits on approx. 6,400sqm and feels a world away from everywhere, yet you are only minutes from Mooloolaba or Alex Beach, Buderim and leading schooling options, the Sunshine Coast University and less than 12 mins to the new Sunshine Coast private hospital. Walk or take a short bike ride to the local Woolworths as well.
