A luxurious home inspired by a high-end ‘Balinese resort’ hides behind a unique timber-clad façade on a street lined with multi-million dollar homes.
House of Sankana exudes “sophistication and grandeur” at every turn with its avant-garde design and luxurious elements ranging from the sparkling water fountain in the lobby to the wine cellar, Zen gardens and epic backyard.
This elegant home is located in the coastal town of Kingscliff, 40 minutes north of Byron Bay, and is spread over two levels on a huge 1,012 square meter block just a stone’s throw from the beach.
Guests are captivated from the moment they walk through the doors of the “avant-garde” floor into the incredible lobby with a Japanese-style garden and fountain.
A wooden jetty leads visitors past a fire fountain over dripping water beneath a two-story void where succulents hang toward the 25,000-liter pond, home to dozens of colorful Koi fish.

‘The real difference with that street is that it is beachfront blocks sitting on the water on an acre of land. This has a larger land area of 1,012 m2 and is 20 meters wide offering a higher value environment,” he stated.
‘This is a particularly unique house for this location. The special quality of the materials used is unlike anything I have ever seen. “It’s like a Balinese resort with layers of Japanese architecture.”
Despite Kingscliff’s more modest median sales price of $1.8 million, the agent expects the Cilindros Drive property to fetch a price north of $9 million when it goes on the market later this month.

The six-bedroom house at 59 Cilindro Drive, down the street, sold for $8 million last September, while number 83 is also on the market for $8 million.
Witheriff added that the price also reflects the high-quality renovation the sellers did to the home, which took more than four years.
