Set within the prestigious Waterfall Country Estate, Victoria Residence enjoys elevated views over a natural wetland and cascading landscape, creating a serene connection between architecture and nature. Designed to span the full width of its constrained site, the home maximizes northern views and natural light. Conceptually, it takes the form of a monolithic stone mass—sculpted and carved to reveal a warm, inviting interior. The exterior remains deliberately restrained, defined by a limited palette of robust materials, enhancing the contrast and transition into the softer, refined living spaces within.

If data spoke… what would this property be worth?

Inside, the home is crafted for comfort and livability, unified through a consistent material language. Natural oak, granite, marble, and bronze are layered in varying textures and tones, creating a cohesive yet dynamic interior experience.

The residence unfolds across three levels:

• Basement Level: Dedicated to entertainment, featuring a home cinema and playroom.
• Ground Floor: Designed for everyday living, with open-plan lounges and dining areas, alongside a striking indoor pool set within a double-volume space. Split-level planning subtly defines circulation, living, and leisure zones.
• First Floor: A private retreat comprising three bedroom suites. The main suite occupies the eastern wing with dual dressing rooms and a seamless en-suite, while two additional suites with a shared lounge sit in the western wing. This level also includes a gym, sewing room, and a relaxed pyjama lounge overlooking the family area below.

Generous in scale and rich in spatial variety, the home offers a layered living experience—balancing functionality with lifestyle, and architecture with comfort.
