‘Paloma’ is our labour of love.
Architecturally designed and constructed, ‘Paloma’ combines a heritage period street presence with traditional internal finishes, all whilst seamlessly blending the contemporary pool pavilion, guest quarters and outdoor entertaining spaces.
‘Paloma’ takes her name from the prized Rhodesian Ridgeback that roamed the grounds of the Retford Park Estate under the late Sir James Fairfax.
An immaculate, streamlined designer garden, manicured hedges, decorative lattice work, period render touches, custom timber posts, impeccable sandstoning, old English veranda tiles and a crisp whitewashed veneer combine to offer a gloriously warm welcome, setting a tone of distinction and elegance.
Inside, a pristine polished foyer flows into the home which boasts soaring ceilings, engineered oak floors, decorative plaster work, custom high-end joinery and timber work, and panoramic, double-glazed windows.
Further features include five bedrooms, three bathrooms, bespoke cabinetry, resort size pool, sauna, designer radiators and Sonos sound system.
We love the guest wing overlooking the pool with separate entry, bedroom,
bathroom and luxe living room with bar & sauna – perfect as an indulgent pool house in summer.
This exquisite, one-of-kind home is a masterpiece in perfection, embodying the timeless allure of elegant Federation architecture and flaunting bespoke luxury, with high-end design features in abundance. Master-crafted to blend the very best in contemporary sophistication and country elegance, ‘Paloma’ is distinguished, grandly proportioned and richly-appointed.
