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.
Designed by Scott Buscall of DesignStudioGroup, โMountain Springsโ is a rural retreat situated on five acres of rolling wilderness near Kangaroo Valley.
Boasting four bedrooms and the kind of stone-and-glass construction you might spot on the set of Yellowstone, details throughout the home include marble finishes, Gaggenau appliances, and extensive custom joinery.
Beyond the glass facade, thereโs a heated mineral pool, an expansive deck for enjoying the sunshine, and remarkable views over the pristine bushland nearby. Country livinโ doesnโt get much nicer than this.

A Brighton landmark drenched in history, โRolvendenโ was originally constructed in the 1880s for philanthropist Joseph Kronheimer and has remained one of Brightonโs finest estates ever since. In 2017, however, the property underwent a significant renovation that brought it into the 21st century, overseen by the acclaimed firm Robson Rak.
Inside, the ceilings soar to 4.2-metre heights, there are marble fireplaces, and plenty of ornate cornices. Through the seamlessly flowing spaces is where youโll find one of the better landscaped gardens in the entire country, completed with a heated pool.
Situated on a block that spans almost 2,000 square metres, itโs a rare opportunity to take custody of what is quite possibly Brightonโs most tastefully appointed homes.

A rare Noel Robinson mid-century masterpiece, this 1976 award-winning home has been reimagined through a modern lens, without losing its architectural roots.
Concrete, glass blocks, and charred timber meet cascading greenery and riverbed stone floors, while the five-metre void that soars above the living space, the designer kitchen, and wine display anchor the interiors.
With four bedrooms, sculpted gardens, and a striking double carport, itโs a property that balances heritage and modern liveability better than most.
