A place where heritage, landscape and life are woven effortlessly across 1,113sqm, 'Katanga' c.1884 is a landmark Hamilton Hill estate reimagined for a new generation, where an inspiring past is now shaped for the moments, memories and milestones still to come.
Elevated with a thoughtful embrace of the panoramic landscape and cascading over three lift-connected levels, the sweeping river outlooks become a living canvas, where morning light moves across the water, boats and CityCats animate the reaches below and breezes drift effortlessly. Ever-changing with the interplay of water, architecture and nature, and complemented by beautiful landscaping, greenery frames blue skies by day before the afternoon light softens, and as evening arrives, the river glistens as tides turn.
Exquisitely transformed by Twohill & James, the residence honours the permanence of its original architecture while introducing timeless beauty and purpose, creating a home that feels both deeply connected to its history and entirely attuned to family life. A link bridge forms the physical connection between past and present, while preserved details and hand-selected materials create a quieter dialogue between the two, with marble and Travertine unfolding against soft tones, sympathetic to the heritage and deliberately restrained so that beyond the glass, the landscape can command attention.
Downstairs, the living and dining domain gathers everyone around an exquisite entertainer's kitchen, where a Calacatta Viola island serves as the natural setting for conversation and connection, with hidden utility extending to a butler's pantry and study.
At one with the outdoors, walls of glass reveal the spectacular entertaining sanctuary, comprising an alfresco terrace with a fireplace, television and Beefeater BBQ kitchen, spilling onto level lawns and integrated poolside seating beside a wet-edge swimming pool and heated spa. A refuge for every occasion, children can move between grass and water while adults linger over lunch; summer afternoons stretch into balmy evenings, winter gatherings draw closer to the fire, and celebrations play out against the river beyond.
Below, a gym and sauna create a wellness retreat, while a theatre awaits behind a concealed door, revealing a bar and Ross Gardam lighting. Five bedrooms, each with ensuites, are complemented by two powder rooms and distinct family wings. Guests can enjoy exceptional independence with a bedroom, lounge, kitchenette and balcony upstairs, while the children have a domain of their own with a lounge and billiards room.
The parents' retreat returns you to the original home and its timeless sense of romance. Wraparound verandahs offer quiet places to follow the sun, feel the breeze and gaze across the river, accompanied by a private office, dressing room and inspiring bedroom with custom bedhead and Armadillo rug. The ensuite is an indulgent oasis in marble, featuring a bespoke vanity, double showers, underfloor heating and heated towel rails.
