Designed by acclaimed Melbourne architectural firm SSdH, the planned two-storey pavilion-style home is a marvel of modern architecture and blends seamlessly into the hillside to minimize environmental impact.
The layout features two open-plan living areas, a rumpus room surrounding a courtyard and luxury amenities such as a large cabana, terrace and an 60-foot swimming pool.
Privacy and comfort are paramount, with all five bedrooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, in addition to a generous gym and sauna.

Critics and locals were quick to say the rebuild reminds them of a suburban shopping centre, a renovated RSL club or a regional airport terminal.
The 50-metre rooftop infinity pool alone is estimated to have cost at least $400,000, a huge indoor mural could be worth as much as $100,000 and the landscaping bill could reach $500,000.
The eldest brother, Westworld star Luke, also took home the keys to a $4.9 million beachfront home in Suffolk Park in 2020, not far from Chris’ home.
The house was in a family trust headed by Liam and Chris and was purchased two years earlier for $4.3 million.
