A luxuriously huge house loaded with world-class amenities like an expansive swimming pool, a manicured garden, a lawn tennis court, a massive car garage, opulent staircase, magnanimous rooftop, and picturesque scenes in the backdrop is sure to set anyone’s heart racing. Such splendid homes are either seen in the movies or in the premium property sector, which includes the best facades in the world. From harbour facing manors in Sydney to ritzy glass-walled homes in Melbourne, Australia is a haven for lavish and extravagant residences that have charmed people from across the globe. Opulent penthouses, deluxe apartments, sea facing villas, ultramodern designer abodes and more such architectural marvels are mushrooming in the metropolitan cities as incomes are rising and the economy is booming. Consequently, the prices are also soaring and the most high-priced luxury property in Sydney is expected to reap a whopping $80 million.
A house as spacious as you can imagine is a dream cherished by many investors and mansions have the capability of realising this fantasy magnificently. Though the house prices are increasing at an unprecedented rate every year in all the major cities, it is not deterring people from buying new homes. In fact, the prices of residential dwellings in Australia reached $6,869,006.7m by the end of 2017. Hobart witnessed the maximum rise as its annual residential property price index jumped by 13.1%. Melbourne wasn’t far behind with a leap of 10.2% followed by Canberra at 5.7% and Sydney at 3.8%. This goes to show that people in the high-income segment are willing to splurge on a house that is not only a comfy residence but also a status symbol. Most people invest in mansions that are present on everyone’s property buying wish-list. However, there is still some confusion in the minds of people related to a mansion. Typically, a big house with several rooms and classy amenities which offers an extraordinary living experience is called a mansion. In the olden days, properties in Europe with ballrooms, huge dining rooms, more than ten bedrooms, recreational rooms, and big gardens were called mansions. According to some experts, the modern-day mansions are houses whose floor area is more than 8,000 square feet and have all the desired comforts stylishly built to grab the attention of onlookers. However, the size can vary depending on the location of the property. For example, in certain congested neighbourhoods, a 5,000 square foot house would also be categorised as a mansion by many real estate agents, and in some suburban scantily populated regions, a 10,000 square foot structure would be considered a mansion.
In Australia, mansions were built for the first time in the Victorian period during the 19th century. Later, in the 1800s during the gold mining boom, some more majestic structures came up. Some vintage mansions are still standing tall in various cities of Australia such as the Wavendon Mansion in South Yarra, Melbourne which was built in 1888 and boasts of a 1500 sqm of plush garden area with a tennis court and a swimming pool, and the Greenoaks Cottage at Darling Point in Sydney, which was built in 1850 and sits beautifully amidst a 1300 sqm green area. Referring to the number of bedrooms a mansion should have, experts suggest that there should not be less than six bedrooms and the upper limit has no boundaries. Besides a good number of bedrooms for all the family members and servants, the dwelling must have several other rooms to give it a regal touch. The various other rooms could be a library, a home theatre, a billiards room, a music room with piano and speakers, a wine cellar, a grand dining hall, and more.
