ahead of its scheduled auction in March\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Completed last year, the extraordinary home occupies a 1,017sqm parcel of prime waterfront land and was designed to blend high-end luxury with an ambitious sustainable vision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Durie himself designed the native gardens, which cascade down towards the water and the home&#8217;s spectacular infinity-edge swimming pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The landscaping has become such a feature that locals have reportedly dubbed the property the &#8216;hanging gardens of Avalon.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, the pool is perhaps the home&#8217;s most talked-about feature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Durie has famously declared the pristine water is &#8216;drinkable&#8217;, adding another unusual bragging right to a property already packed with lavish inclusions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Spread across four levels, the home is serviced by an internal lift and features an entire floor dedicated to guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There is also a private wellness retreat complete with a sauna, ice pool and steam room, as well as a home cinema for movie nights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A spectacular spotted gum staircase forms the centrepiece of the main living area, which boasts soaring double-height ceilings and opens onto a full-width deck overlooking the pool and Pittwater.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\"

inquiries about the Riverview Road property last week were reportedly told of the revised figure, while a detailed search of property portals also suggests the luxurious home has been given a new lower benchmark<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The innovative residence was years in the making, with Durie reportedly negotiating extensively with local council and neighbours before bringing his ambitious vision to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The landscape designer bought the original mid-century weekender on the site in 2015 for $2.275m before engaging Silvester Fuller Architects to create a private, secure and technology-focused replacement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The finished home is crowned by a huge 160sqm rooftop garden offering sweeping 180-degree views across Pittwater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Despite the home&#8217;s eye-watering price tag, its sustainable credentials and extraordinary design have made it one of Avalon Beach&#8217;s most distinctive new properties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Durie has since relocated to the Northern Rivers with his wife, singer-songwriter Ameka Jane, and their young children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <!-- ad: https:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v8\/us\/tvshowbiz\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<div class=\"column-content
