A picturesque parklike 25-acre estate in a premier cul-de-sac address, 'Karinya' is one of the area's finest lifestyle properties with a magnificent 800sqm north-facing residence and first-class equestrian facilities including a dressage arena, show jumping arena, cross country course and 400sqm stable block, as well as impressive garage and workshop facilities for motor sport enthusiasts. In a private setting bordering the nature reserve of Berowra Valley National Park, the property presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity close to top schools, shopping centres and 50 minutes' drive to Sydney CBD.
Created with the finest materials and no expense spared, the timeless four-bedroom four-bathroom residence is designed by acclaimed architect Melinda Lawton to forge a close connection with nature by transgressing the lines between indoors and out in a family-focussed single-level layout with vast expanses of glass taking full advantage of the beautiful views. Timber and natural stone finishes play leading roles in the design with open-plan living and dining areas flowing to an entertaining terrace and plunge pool, while the island kitchen (with butler's pantry) serves as the social heart of the home.
Soaring ceilings amplify a wonderful sense of space in the superb design with multiple living areas including a sunroom and guest living area with kitchenette. The two bedroom wings feature a vast master bedroom suite (with dressing area & ensuite), 3 more king-size bedrooms (all with ensuite and custom b/ins or WIR) and a home office with private courtyard. Enjoy luxury, comfort and functionality with a custom cocktail bar, heated floors, ducted air-con, C-Bus electronics, solar roof panels, mud room and covered access to an oversized 4-car auto door garage and an impressive 4-car workshop.
Established level gardens with sweeping lawns, olive groves and specimen trees create a beautiful backdrop to the residence overlooking the property's manicured grounds featuring 5 horse paddocks (with 3 horse boxes), stable complex (with 3 horse boxes, wash bay, feed room, self-contained living quarters), truck shed, 120,000 litre water storage tanks and 2 Envirocycle treatment systems. Enjoy a dream lifestyle close to Arcadia Public School, Northholm Grammar School, minutes to Glenorie Shopping Centre & easy drive to Redfield College, Hills Grammar and Pacific Hills Christian School.
