Few properties on the Northern Beaches embody the history, scale, and exquisite beauty like the 'Leontine' estate. Secluded behind private gates and mature hedges, this Spanish Colonial hacienda, designed and constructed in the late 1930s, occupies an extraordinary 1,630 square meter parcel opposite Careel Bay and just moments from Avalon’s vibrant centre. The residence faces due north, with sweeping lawns and gardens that have matured alongside the home for nearly a century, featuring magnificent Magnolias, Pandanus, Frangipanis, and palms of remarkable size and maturity.

Meticulously restored and thoughtfully enhanced for contemporary living, the sunlit pavilion design unfolds around a central courtyard, seamlessly connecting the interiors to a sparkling 16.5-meter tiled mineral pool and a fully self-contained cabana. The home is generous, light-filled, and offers privacy in every direction, presenting a residence of exceptional elegance that retains original character while boasting uncompromising finishes.

The layout includes grand formal rooms, a dedicated children's wing, and an entire upper level devoted to the parent's retreat, delivering the space and privacy reminiscent of a grand country estate. All of this is complemented by the convenience of Avalon’s beaches, cafes, and schools just moments away.
