Starhaven Retreat

Inside, there are vaulted ceilings, expanses of glass and a combination of cosy living areas and vast entertaining spaces. There's a snug living room, dining space, kitchen, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Outside, the pool takes centre stage, but there's also a pool house and north-facing deck. The house also boasts hydronic heating, solar-assisted hot water and electronic skylights fitted with rain sensors. The couple spent AU$1.7 million (£817k/$1.1m) on the project, moving in in 2012.
