The property market is something Aussies spend more time thinking about than theyโd like to admit to, but everyone knows not all homes are created equal. Here at On The Market, we scour countless property listings to share the best of the best, from palatially proportioned waterfront palaces to meticulously designed studio apartments.
Toorak has seen more than its fair share of high-profile sales in recent years, but the market is far from cooling as 2 Towers Road hits the market this week. Sprawled across an acre in one of the suburbโs most prestigious pockets, this Mediterranean Revival estate was designed by Catt Architects and boasts a soaring six-metre foyer entrance.
Framed by Paul Bangay-designed gardens, thereโs a solar-heated pool and a north-south tennis court. Throughout the property, youโll find Arabescato marble details, Gaggenau appliances, and a guest pavilion echoing the main residenceโs bold symmetry.

Rural Queensland doesnโt get much more dramatic than this. Perched 550 metres above sea level with an unbroken 180-degree panorama of the Numinbah Valley, Escarpe Rainforest Escape is a rare architecturally designed home on a secluded escarpment.
Spanning 30 acres of ancient eucalypt forest and framed by a dramatic 200-metre cliff face, the property offers unmatched privacy and cinematic views across Binna Burra, Tamborine, and beyond. Its compact size wonโt make it a front-runner as a family holiday home, but if you and your significant other want a break from the big smoke, this should be it.

Located about two and a half hoursโ drive southwest of Sydney, The Lakehouse in Kangaroo Valley is one of the most beautiful homes in rural New South Wales. Surrounded by rivers, lakes, and mountains, the area is a dream for anyone who loves the great outdoors โ if you can even bring yourself to leave the 36-acre property.
The home was designed by Alfie Arcuri of J Mammone Architecture (interestingly, the winner of The Voice Australia in 2016), and has been meticulously considered from every angle, with soaring panelled ceilings, polished concrete floors, and walls of glass that dissolve into the horizon.
The single-level home enjoys a spectacular Lake Yarrunga frontage, and outside, new owners can look forward to relaxing in the infinity pool, cooking by the stone fireplace, or simply exploring the grounds.
