This is what Australians would call the perfect inner city backyard. May not be big but it’s packed full of family fun and guaranteed to bring out the green eyed monster in your friends. Outdoor kitchen, fireplace, AV hub to watch the cricket and portable lounge. Spa, lap pool and a plywood clad bunker with lounges, planter and recessed bar fridge for the wine and beer. There’s a powder room hiding round the back and even room for the trampoline. Bring on summer! By Melbourne-based Dan Gayfer Design.

Gardens are by Will Dangar. The sale is via expressions of interest and the asking price is rumored to be in the $20 million ball park. You can find the listing here while it lasts.

I’m lost. I can’t find my way out of the portfolio of Parisian interior designer Marianne Tiegen. I have, however, managed to leave France and land in Cala d’Hort on the island of Ibiza. Hot sun, cool lifestyle and a stylish take on a hacienda. The perfect chillout pad on the party island.
