Occupying five acres (approx. 2.02 ha) of botanical beauty, Dural’s 'Glenroy Park' is a landmark estate and lifestyle property that has been decades in the making.

Set down a private laneway with a dual gated entry, the residence sits well away from the quiet cul de sac providing a luxury sanctuary for family life, with a championship floodlit tennis court, stunning pool, tranquil lake, separate and flexible games, entertaining or self-contained pavilion, and a church-like flexible machinery building.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND Sandra Ward highlighted the importance of the garden surrounds to the property.

“After they bought the land from the Best family, an original family who were orchardists in the area in the 1800's, the owners decided to do the landscaping first instead of waiting til after the build,” Sandra explained. 

“They planted out each of the walks, especially around the stone lined lake, so we have the Manchurian pear tree walk, the claret ash entry driveway and the silver birch avenue. The pool is surrounded by camelia hedges. The entrance to the home is marble with incredibly high ceilings and reflected in the rose-lined pond with fountain.”

Updated over time keeping it completely current, the principal residence is expansive, sweeping over an enormous single level with its many rooms opening out to the deep wraparound verandahs. High ceilings further enhance the space, positioned over elegant formal zones, generous casual living and dining and large bedroom retreats.

“I have loved this home after knowing its owners for 30 years and watched it with keen interest in its blooming,” Sandra told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The aspect is directly north to all the living areas and all the entertaining is under cover between the residence and the entertaining apartment or extended family accommodation, which is completely separate but integrated beautifully.”

Six beautiful bedrooms include three with an ensuite and a sumptuous master retreat with his and hers robes, stunning crystal lighting and a spa ensuite. A dignified home office can be used as a further bedroom.

Entertaining is central to the home, with its flowing floorplan spilling out to an expansive alfresco terrace that incorporates a bar at the kitchen window and adjoins the separate pavilion with a large games or living room, kitchenette, a 6th bedroom and a bathroom that is accessible at the rear to the tennis court. It offers flexibility as a retreat for au pair, in-laws or guests.

The park-like grounds boast two stables, 2 day yards and 2 post and rail fenced paddocks, as well as the lake stocked with silver perch.

“The barn is more like a church and it offers many uses for teenage retreat family occasions,” Sandra explained. 

“With the endless turning of the seasons there is always something happening in the gardens, from the roses to the magical white blooms of the Manchurian Pears to their stunning autumn colours and green leaf in summer creating a real park-like cooling feel.”

“Sit by the lake or drift around in the dinghy and fish for the well grown silver belly perch or just sip a glass and watch the fountain create its calm on the world.”
