Overview

Asgard

Perched 400 meters above sea level on one of the highest summits of the Glasshouse Mountains, this exceptional estate named 'Asgard' offers an unparalleled living experience. Drawing inspiration from Norse mythology, Asgard is a stunning architectural masterpiece that harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings, providing breathtaking 360-degree views of the Glasshouse Mountains, coastline, hinterland, and ocean.

Completed in 2020, the residence was designed by acclaimed architect Dan Sparks of Sparks Architects and was honored with the Australian Institute of Architects Commendation Award for Residential Architecture in 2021. The contemporary dual-pavilion, L-shaped design maximizes space, privacy, and flow, while extensive glazed glass walls invite natural light and panoramic vistas into the home.

The exterior features Shou Sugi Ban Ironbark cladding, a traditional Japanese timber treatment that offers durability against fire, water, and termites, while adding a distinctive aesthetic. The entryway is accentuated with Eco Outdoor Wamberal Freeform® stone, complementing the home's earthy tones and sleek lines. Inside, three-layered tongue and groove oak flooring provides warmth and texture against darker finishes.

The main residence spans two wings connected above a partially subterranean level. The living wing boasts a gourmet kitchen equipped with engineered black granite benchtops, premium Miele appliances, a Zip sparkling water system, and a butler's pantry. The spacious dining and lounge areas feature soaring ceilings, a large picture window, bifold doors, and a Rinnai gas fireplace, all seamlessly flowing onto an alfresco deck complete with a built-in BBQ and bar fridge, ideal for entertaining.

The master retreat offers a walk-in wardrobe, a luxurious ensuite with a freestanding soaking tub, and stunning mountain views. The second wing houses three additional ensuited bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and mountain vistas, along with a study nook and a flexible sitting room. Below this level, a fifth bedroom, home gym, four-person infrared sauna, and laundry provide versatile living options, perfect for dual living or guest accommodation.

In addition to the main residence, a private second dwelling was also designed and built in 2020. This architecturally designed guest house is ideal for visitors, Airbnb, a home office, or an artist's retreat. It features a master suite, designer bathroom, gourmet kitchen, living and dining zones, gas fireplace, air conditioning, and a large alfresco deck. Car accommodation includes a 10.6-meter covered carport and a 6.9-meter uncovered carport, providing ample parking.

Set on approximately 11.6 acres (46,836 sqm), this extraordinary estate offers a rare fusion of intuitive design, bespoke craftsmanship, and refined sustainable luxury in one of Australia's most iconic natural locations.
