A decadent swimming pool set in the middle of a two-storey mansion is hiding a secret underground wine lounge with a 3,000-bottle cellar, designed with a day bed and window that looks out on the water like an aquarium.
A family-of-five have lived in the luxurious Canadian Bay Road property in Mount Eliza, Victoria, for the past year after initially buying the 2,500 square metre block in 2015.
It took two years to piece together the five-star hotel-like masterpiece, which is only down the road from Australian singer Tones and I’s $5.1million estate, and comes with many custom-made design features.

The basement underneath the pool has a colour-changing light fixture, setting the mood for a late night soiree, and glass doors that lead to the cellar.
A marble kitchen and walk-in pantry wrapped in the stone are a centrepiece in the living area, alongside a $150,000 oven, which came runner-up in a global kitchen design contest run by Sub-Zero and Wolf.
A lift transports you to the master bedroom upstairs and there is a bathroom ensuite for all of the other bedrooms, providing maximum comfort and space for all occupants living there.

For the game players in Australia there is a billiards room with a New York-style bar, a gentleman’s office with a scotch bar, home cinema, gym and a hot rock sauna to relax in after a long day.
If you’re planning to self isolate there you can take advantage of the tennis courts built by international court makers Match Point Systems – who have made Federer, Becker and Martina Hingis’ home courts – or dip under the fountains in the pool.
There is also an outdoor fire pit to sit around as the winter months approach.

The part-time developer who pieced the property together is looking to sell for between $8 and $8.8million, but is more than happy to continue living there should the price be too low.
‘It is the best and most expensive new home on the peninsula and one day after listing already had international inquiries,’ McEwing & Partners director Quentin McEwing told realestate.com.au.
‘We expect keen interest from Melbourne and Sydney buyers looking to move down here.’
