From the moment you enter the conifer punctuated driveway you will feel transported to a dream world - reminiscent of an authentic Tuscan Villa.
Built and designed without compromise, the sense of arrival is matched only by the breath-taking interiors. Peerless quality and design abound - with a volume of space quite stunning. An enclosed colonnade fronts the north facing entrance to the expansive open-plan living and dining room and in itself provides multiple spaces to enjoy. A double sided polished concrete fireplace, striking ceilings and warm solid timber floors provide visual interest at every turn. Bedrooms are generous and each has a luxurious ensuite - the feeling of retreat and hospitality is ever present here. A second butler's kitchen, transitional spaces and a separate living room give flexibility throughout the home.
Further guest accommodation is conveniently at arm's length but interdependent and the infrastructure supporting Villa Christina is also - in a word - "next level".
The experience of visiting 'Villa Christina' is akin to listening to a perfectly conducted Italian Opera - drama, passion and nuance at every turn. It won't disappoint!
