Property documents confirm Taranto owns the home a striking architectural residence perched at one of the highest points in the prestigious Carrington Estate, and crafted as the ultimate lifestyle base for a high-performance family.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home occupies a sprawling 5928sq m parcel of land, where Taranto is understood to have drawn inspiration from cutting-edge European design and elite wellness retreats.

Inside, the home centres on a soaring void with a floating staircase and bespoke chandelier that anchors multiple living zones across two levels.

A statement kitchen is fitted with dual stone island benches, integrated appliances, and extensive storage, including a concealed butler’s pantry — designed to handle everything from family dinners to strict macro meal prep.

A home cinema with plush recliners, zoned living areas, and a full-length entertainers’ balcony with alfresco dining space provide room to relax, or entertain a crowd.

The architect-designed residence features a sleek dark facade and dramatic lines on a 6000sq m hilltop block.

In the basement, a dark-toned garage with vertical LED strip lighting displays Taranto’s pride and joy, a luxury vehicle parked like a centrepiece in a private showroom.

Barry Plant Rowville’s Anthony Johnson — who declined to comment on the identity of the owner — said the home “sets a new benchmark” for the Carrington Estate and had already attracted interest from high-net-worth buyers seeking space, luxury and seclusion.

“It’s a commanding presence at the top of the hill,” Mr Johnson said.

Each bedroom features a designer ensuite with luxe stone finishes, LED mirrors and hotel-style touches.

“The architecture is modern but still welcoming, and those sunset views are just extraordinary.”

Taranto’s digital footprint confirms his passion for health and performance, with a now-archived YouTube channel offering three-minute dessert hacks, “non-diet” fat-loss tips, and commentary on fitness trends such as The Game Changers documentary.

The home cinema offers a full Gold Class experience with tiered recliners, plush carpet and ambient lighting.
