12 Emerstan Drive,Castle Cove
Privately positioned on one of Castle Cove's most exclusive and tightly held street, 12 Emerstan Drive is a landmark estate of bold proportions and refined elegance. Celebrated for its timeless Spanish Mission architecture and editorial profile, this is a residence that transcends trends and elevates every moment of living.
Set on 1,201sqm with a lush harbourside reserve forming a natural green corridor to the water, the home occupies one of the closest residential positions to Middle Harbour. From the upper level, expansive views extend across to Seaforth and its sparkling waterways, while glimpses of Middle Harbour peek through the treetops from almost every living space, adding to the sense of calm and seclusion.
Inside, the volume and scale are extraordinary. A dramatic 8-metre-high entry foyer opens to vast living spaces beneath soaring 14-foot raked ceilings. Oversized arched forms, tactile finishes, and sculptural curves define the home's signature character. A recent architectural remastering blends heritage beauty with contemporary performance, including full home automation for lighting, climate, security and entertainment.
At the heart of the home lies a full hotel-style bar-bespoke in scale and ideal for both intimate hosting and large-scale entertaining. This flows to expansive sandstone terraces and a layered, resort-style swimming pool surrounded by established gardens. A private gym and wet sauna complete the lifestyle experience.
Five bedrooms include a palatial master suite with dressing room and private terrace, while a self-contained fifth bedroom with its own entry offers ideal accommodation for guests or live-in staff.
A property of this scale, privacy and editorial prestige is a rare offering.
