VIDEO: House of the Week — resort-style living is yours to enjoy

SET on a 12-acre estate this house displays elegance from a past era.

The five-bedroom main home (the property has a total of 11) at Castlereagh is superlative throughout.

There is an original three-bedroom fully renovated cottage, a huge barn with games room and two self-contained suites upstairs.

It also has a caretaker's residence and the manicured gardens lead to the home's private banks of the Nepean River.

There is even a magnificent heated resort-style indoor pool complex with his and hers change rooms. The main home is built with premium reclaimed materials. It has four fireplaces, one of which is marble and circa 1888.

There are 10-inch wide hardwood floors from pier one, an ornate domed ceiling from a Blue Mountains picture theatre and bricks made a century ago.

Other highlights include a magnificent 3500-capacity bottle cellar, a luxury parents' retreat with two walk-in wardrobes in the main bedroom, ducted airconditioning, a dish room and butler's pantry.

This unique estate would make a world-class event venue and ideal for weddings and conferences, subject to council approval.

It will be auctioned on site, Saturday, February 16 at 11am if not sold before.
