A beauty from a bygone era

19 Mofflin Avenue, Darlington - Offers in the low to mid $2 millions

Escape to the Hills and “Nyanya”. Built in the 1920s from locally sourced granite, this two-storey home has been beautifully renovated and has some striking rooms – check out the kitchen and the main bathroom. Lounge by the pool in the summer sun, enjoy evening cocktails in the sunroom with its chequerboard flooring and bask in the glory of the stunning views every single day.

Cinematic masterpiece

3 Madras Link, North Coogee – Offers by 23 January

If your idea of the Lotto life is chillaxing and watching movies or streaming the latest series, then this super-stylish two-storey house could be for you. Its state-of-the-art cinema room boasts a huge screen, surround sound, 11-channel speakers, customisable lights (with up to 1 million sequences) , a popcorn bar and kitchenette – perfect for storing your drinks and choc tops. Then take a break from the silver screen on the first-floor terrace with ocean views.

The beauty of nature

36 Farmhouse Link, Two Rocks – mid to high $1 million

Keen gardeners will love to “retire” to this home. It’s on 3.85 acres, surrounded by expansive gardens and bushland – you’ll even have your own waterfall feature, creek and pond. And if you, or the kids, want a horse or two, there’s room for that too with paddocks and stables. The huge house has room for all the family, with five large bedrooms and multiple living areas – you will have to spend some of your winnings finishing the kitchen though. Did we mention it’s just six minutes from the beach?

Riverside delight

39 Canning Beach Road, Applecross – Contact the agent

With its sweeping curves and walls of glass, this three-storey home offers river views from most rooms. You’ll also be able to watch all the action on the water from the outdoor spaces on each level. Plus, the home is just 50 metres from the river’s edge so you can indulge in strolls, runs or cycles along the foreshore whenever you please.

A slice of history

131 Stirling Street, East Bunbury – Price on application

Perth is not the only place you’ll fine gorgeous stately homes. This 1890s masterpiece is in Bunbury, right on the waterfront. “Illawarra” is a majestic blend of old-world grandeur (think chandeliers, ceiling roses and verandas with tessalated tiling) and modern conveniences (including a pool, sauna and expansive alfresco area) set in gardens reminiscent of a European estate.

Hey, big spender

9 King Albert Road, Trigg - $16 million

At $16 million this is potentially the most expensive property on our list, but you certainly get a lot of bang for your buck. The location is worth the price tag, with Trigg Beach right across the road, along with Clarko Reserve. You’ll have every convenience at your fingertips – a gym, sauna, steam room, resort-style heated lap pool with ocean views and a spa are just some of the features. Park your Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini and more in the six-car garage, then take the lift to the top floor and the enormous open-plan living/dining/kitchen area with gas-floor heating to keep you comfortable in winter and panoramic water views to delight you year round.

A little bit country

5 Sawmill Place Roleystone – offers over $1,699,000

Artist’s retreat, equestrian estate, country getaway but still close to Perth – this home could fulfill all your Lotto dreams. Wake up in the master suite and step out to your private balcony overlooking the valley, get creative in the studio, work on a few projects in the shed with three-phase power, or just wander the grounds and immerse yourself in nature’s delights – including the beautiful waterfall and Stony Brook - on the 5.12 acre property.

One for the boaties

61 Lanyard Boulevard, Geographe – in the $4 millions

Fancy some fishing? Get yourself the best boat money can buy and head down to Geographe and this massive residence on the marina. It has its own jetty and it’s just a short cruise through the canal entry to the Bay. And when you’re not out on the boat, sit on the deck and watch the dolphins swim up the canals. With 1,100sqm of living space, including six ensuite bedrooms, you and all the family will live in luxurious comfort.

A Greek idyll

5 Hockey Place, West Beach - $1,450,000

Head to Esperance where “Santorini” Villa and guest house will make you feel like you’re enjoying a holiday in Greece every day. It’s inspired by the white-washed, blue-accented architecture of the island of Santorini and, like the homes on the popular island, it has striking ocean views - watch the ocean from the sun-filled terraces with your preferred beverage in hand. We recommend checking out all the pics – the bedrooms and bathrooms are quite amazing.

A business opportunity

10 William Street, York – mid to high $1 million

If retirement isn’t your Lotto dream, then this will keep you happy and fulfilled after your win. It’s not just a house, but the entire York Motel. It comes with a lovely home, six self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom units next to the main residence and a one bedroom, one-bathroom unit and two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit in another building. Add in the grounds with gardens, shady sitting areas, playground and barbecue area and you have yourself a popular tourist destination.
