FANTASY MEETS REALITY WITH THE LAST FEW YEARS CREATING LIMITATIONS ON LUXURY TRAVEL, SER INFINITO ESTATE HAS PROVED THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR THOSE CRAVING TRUE ESCAPISM ON A GRAND SCALE – YOU’RE FORGIVEN FOR THINKING YOU’RE IN SANTA FE OR MEXICO AND NOT THREE HOURS SOUTH OF SYDNEY, WRITES CAMERON PINE.
A
palatial abode spanning three distinct levels and many meandering passages etched into the hillside – Ser Infinito has been designed to capture an experience that unwraps some of the best views in the country. Breathtaking with a notion of Santa Fe meets South Coast’s cool, it sits atop one of the most remarkable and rugged coastal landscapes in the world where boulders and bush meet balmy beachside nights. It’s a vision akin to a music video fantasy. Built by architect Stuart Wilde, a man with vision on a scale well beyond anything else we’d ever seen created on the South Coast more than 20 years ago, Ser Infinito’s capabilities span from a family stay to a large-scale event or production – complete with a crew to suit your needs and a never-ending luxe list of extra curricular activities that satiate any desire. Managed by wellknown Sydney socialite and luxury entrepreneur Karim Gharbi, Ser Infinito carries a legacy of service that we, until now, thought was reserved only for overseas holidays, yet has seemingly raised the level of luxury to infinite possibilities a stone’s throw away from Sydney. Open to the public for the first time, Ser Infinito Estate was Stuart Wilde’s dream home – a labour of love that surpasses any practicalities of a new build, it’s evident in the dreamy rooms and passages, messages and inspirational quotes smattered throughout 58 INSTYLE
the home and solid lifelong lasting finishes that it was always going to be something special. Taking five years to complete, Wilde poured his heart and soul into building the truly authentic residence to castle-like proportions, all to fill his desire of creating a place that would evoke joy and passion for all who step inside. Curved walls, terracotta laden hallways and with quotes in a beautiful sans serif font such as, “I have no plan, I make minute by minute my plan”, conjure up the experience that Ser Infinito affords every guest. From the first step into the grand double doors the sense of escapism is overwhelming. Complete with a helicopter pad, Ser Infinito is just a short 30-minute trip from Sydney by air or approximate three hour drive. Nearby Milton and Cupitt’s Estate winery mean you can spend as much time out amongst the best of the coast or as isolated from the world as you like, the choice really is up to each guest. Mollymook beach is also just a 10-minute drive away, so while feeling completely mountainous, the coastal attractions are surprisingly convenient. Many of the seven bedrooms in the estate come with four poster bed frames made from solid wood and indulgent Hale Mercantile bed
