Backdropped by scenic vistas of the Ku-ring-gai National Park, this resort-like luxury retreat is nestled on a parcel of approx. 5 acres (approx. 2.02ha) of rolling lawns only 30 minutes from Sydney's CBD.

Designed in 2005 by award-winning architects Chateau Homes, ‘Kitikana’ features grand living spaces behind an elegant cement rendered and sandstone façade.

Interiors are sprawled across two levels with soaring ceilings. Beyond the antique timber front doors a 4-metre wide entrance hall leads to the formal lounge and dining rooms, separated by a two-way sandstone fireplace. 

The extensive living and meals area features a cathedral ceiling and another open sandstone fireplace, as well as a connoisseur’s temperature controlled wine cellar hidden behind an elaborate timber door with wet bar, wine fridges and storage racks for multiple bottles of wine.

Focused around a black granite island bench, the adjoining kitchen comes complete with a copper sink plus a wet bar, dual drawer dishwasher, butler's pantry and a fitted study. A separate office on this level features its own front entrance and an adjoining store room.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises five king-size bedrooms with built-ins, includes a guest room with ensuite. With sweeping national park panoramas the palatial master bedroom enjoys a private sitting room, walk-in robe, dressing room, and travertine ensuite with spa bath.  A gymnasium with adjoining bathroom and sauna on the ground level could also be used as a guest bedroom.

Additional features include a four car lock-up garage with machinery storage area and internal access to the residence plus drive through access to the rear garden. 

Outdoors, the property satisfies the needs of every season and any occasion. The north/south championship size tennis court is floodlit, while the sparkling heated infinity pool with spa adjoin the entertainer's cabana with a giant sauna and extra bathroom just inside the door.

With no neighbours in sight and teeming with native wildlife, ‘Kitikana’ offers a sense of sanctuary within moments of shopping, schools, and beaches.

The property has been exquisitely landscaped with a variety of flora, including waratahs, banksias, grass palms, magnolias, a Moreton Bay fig and palm grove, while the sprawling near level lawns are wrapped in natural bushland and fully fenced.
