Despite the frosty mornings and nights, this month brought projects that made me appreciate cosy days at home while also longing for summer adventures.

Daylesford is a picturesque town that beckons weary city dwellers to unwind and rejuvenate amidst luxurious fields of lavender, charming eateries, and spa retreats.

After spending much of June on the sun-kissed shores of Greece, I’m entering the latter half of the year with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

As the peak summer crowds are yet to arrive, we’re relishing a quieter side of Paros this time. And yet, the sun blazes, with at least 30-degree days, darkening my skin—a sure sign I’m at my happiest.

The gentle rhythm of the sea, the sight of boats bobbing lazily in the harbour, and the warm, welcoming smiles of the locals instantly made us feel at ease.

Naxos is a place where every moment feels like golden hour. As the sun begins to set, the island's crisp white buildings take on hues of cream, pink, and yellow, creating a breathtaking backdrop for evening strolls.

One of the most memorable days was spent at Lake Vouliagmeni, where we reserved a cabana and lazed the hours away.

Although the winter season is fast approaching, a time when the property market typically slows down, my work remains as busy as ever. This past month has been particularly notable with several highlights.

In a role like mine, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless cycle of deadlines. However, every now and then, a truly remarkable property lands on my desk that reminds me just how much I love my job.

Located in the circa 1948 Caringal Flats building, this one-bedroom Toorak apartment has everything Pauline and Kieran need to suit their adventurous lifestyle. They’ve given the home a DIY makeover, instilling the interiors with a retro-inspired feel that celebrates vibrant colour, and the building’s early modernist origins.

The quick hour’s drive to the farm meandered through the Hunter Valley’s captivating countryside, with rolling hills transitioning to a gravel road, leading to a modern homestead nestled in a lush valley near Dungog, NSW.
