In the heart of the Southern Highlands most prestigious suburb, Burradoo, sits Chastleton. A stately residence that is secluded behind automated security gates, high hedges and a prized mature English country garden.
With an expansive floor plan of approximately 80 squares, Chastleton has luxuriously appointed interiors, with spacious rooms and soaring ceilings throughout. Enjoying a solar passive design and taking full advantage of the due-north aspect, every room in the house enjoys magnificent garden views through massive 10′ tall picture windows hand crafted from solid rosewood and featuring high performance low emicity double-glazing.
Entry to the property is via a tree-covered circular carriageway that arrives at the middle of the house to an oversized porte-cochere. Once inside the spacious foyer, you can immediately feel the opulence of this extensive double brick residence built with no expense spared. High 12′ ceilings create generous spaces and the bespoke hand crafted timber doors and windows produce a warm tone throughout the home.
Key to the success of Chastleton’s floor plan is a magical blend of natural light and an easy flow with multiple living rooms designed for people who enjoy their home. The entry foyer features a floor-to-ceiling Napoleon III French niche mirror and important French 1840′s basket chandelier, which opens through to large formal living and dining zones on one side and vast casual family living zones on the other.
An important centrepiece of the informal zone is the generous rosewood and Brazilian granite kitchen featuring island bar, double ovens, double cook tops, twin integrated fridges and separate butlers’ pantry. Complementing the large open plan light-filled informal lounge and dining areas is an ingenuous entertaining axis, which invites the outside in with twin foldaway walls connecting the heated freshwater pool, paved terrace and sundeck.
Comprising five bedrooms in total, guests are enviably accommodated in large double-sized bedrooms which are all well spaced to enjoy privacy and are fitted with walk-in or built in robes. The vast master bedroom suite includes a huge bedroom, his and hers walk-through robe, palatial ensuite with two-person therapeutic Jacuzzi plus large private study. All four bathrooms are crafted in Italian marble and all floors throughout the home benefit from the luxurious eco-efficient zoned hydronic heating. There is also a dedicated media room, fully fitted hideaway office and a custom-built 720-bottle wine cellar.
Surrounded by a glorious 1 acres of enviable cool climate gardens, Chastletons’ impeccable grounds are well serviced by a 130m deep bore, computerised auto irrigation system and 20,000lt rainwater tank. The tranquil pool setting enjoys year round sunshine and a state of the art air source heat pump heats the 12.5m in ground freshwater pool. There is also a large triple garage and parking for six cars.
Chastleton is in the exclusive Southern Highlands suburb of Burradoo, 4 mins to Bowral, 75 mins to Sydney International airport, 45 mins to Wollongong and 2 hours to Canberra airport.
