Set upon a mammoth acreage in Wundowie, this distinguished dwelling showcases grandeur and elegance of the highest level. Every detail is considered across the two-storey manor, where 454 square metres of internal living space combines with an expansive verandah, a balcony and a generous three-car garage.
Once-in-a-Generation Residence
Providing the chance to secure a once-in-a-generation residence, this is a property you cannot forget, according to daughter of the current owners, Denisia Cojocarescu. “The 500-metre private driveway, which is lined on both sides by nearly 100 mature eucalyptus trees, creates an experience that is almost cinematic,” she said. “From the very first moment, you feel you’ve entered somewhere truly apart from the ordinary.”
Refined French Influences
The manor draws on refined French influences with a noteworthy point of difference. “The modern French classic style is felt in every detail – from the chandeliers and stone wall lights to bespoke white timber shutters and French architraves paired with high skirting boards – each room carrying the grandeur of a European interior,” Ms Cojocarescu said. “Then there is the jarrah staircase, which is one of the most spectacular things about the home. Wholly Western Australian, it sits at the centre of something that is otherwise very European in its soul. This is what makes the house so distinctive – it doesn’t belong entirely to one world.”
Versatile Floor Plan
Both solitude and sociability are effortlessly achievable across the clever floor plan – whether in the open-plan kitchen, living and dining zone, which features a cocktail bar, or the additional living areas. These include a ground-floor family room – which opens to a spa – plus a theatre room and a sitting area upstairs. For days spent soaking in the rural views, you are spoilt with options – from the wraparound alfresco flowing out from the open-plan zone or the balcony above it, which can be accessed from the four upper-level bedrooms.
Lavish Bedrooms and Subdivision Potential
These lavishly designed sleeping quarters each contain their own ensuite and built-in robes – with a walk-in robe in the master suite – while a guest bedroom downstairs opens to the alfresco. Not only does the opulent abode make an awe-inspiring impression but the enormous land parcel of about 8.4 hectares also has the potential to be subdivided into six lots. According to Ms Cojocarescu, this signifies a property with remarkable value not just as a home but as a long-term asset.
Mauravillo Estate Community
She said the address, nestled in Wundowie’s serene Mauravillo Estate, would suit buyers seeking something that simply could not be replicated. “The Mauravillo Estate community is unlike anything I have encountered elsewhere – members sincerely look out for one another with a warmth and loyalty which have built up over the years,” Ms Cojocarescu said. “Whoever calls this home their own will find they have not simply arrived at an address, but are among people who will make it feel like one.”
Ms Cojocarescu said Wundowie offered tranquility without isolation, which was becoming increasingly rare. “You are surrounded by natural bushland and stillness which only comes with acreage living, yet within about 30 minutes, you can be wandering through the world-renowned Swan Valley,” she said. “Great Eastern Highway is close by, making the commute far more manageable than might be assumed.”
