Burrill Lake | A Home Held Close for 60+ Years
Highly prized and perfectly positioned, this exceptional lakefront property offers a lifestyle rarely found – a life of genuine peace, where the view from your living room gazes serenely down the mouth of Burrill Lake. For 43 years, the current owners have cherished this home which was passed down through the family. One of the first in the estate, originally surrounded by bush and wildlife, its story began even earlier – when the owner first camped here with his Dad as a boy of ten, and they fell in love with the location. Now, for the first time ever, this beloved home is being offered to the market for the next family to enjoy.
The House
Built in natural cedar and designed to nestle into its stunning surrounds, this home invites you in with warmth, character, and an undeniable connection to nature. Walk through the front door and be immediately greeted by a breathtaking wall of reinforced glass – a floor-to-ceiling lake view that stretches like a canvas, shifting with the light and seasons. It’s the kind of view you never tire of basking in.
The upper level features a thoughtfully laid-out kitchen with granite benchtops, a gas cooktop, electric oven, and a chef’s pantry. The adjacent living room boasts soaring raked ceilings and split-system air conditioning, creating a bright, open space to relax or entertain. There are three generous bedrooms on this level – two doubles and a king-sized master with its own ensuite. A full main bathroom completes the upstairs amenities.
Downstairs offers another entire living space, perfect for guests, teenagers, or multi-generational families. A second lounge room enjoys expansive lake views and opens to a large snooker room with a full-size slate pool table. Entertain in true style at the handcrafted gum tree slab bar, set against handmade Sandstock brickwork – a tribute to craftsmanship and timeless design. Indian slate floors run throughout the lower level, accompanied by a bathroom tiled floor-to-ceiling, bayonet gas heating, and a spacious queen bedroom looking out to a peaceful courtyard and fountain.
The Location
This home is set on one of the most enviable sites on Burrill Lake. Positioned to capture uninterrupted water views all the way down to the lake mouth with a 23m2 rear frontage, you’ll feel like you’re living in your own private nature reserve. It’s quiet. Genuinely quiet. The kind of quiet that lets birdsong be your soundtrack, and lets your shoulders drop the moment you step outside.
The lakefront reserve gently slopes from the backyard, seamlessly connecting you to morning walks, paddleboarding adventures, or a glass of wine as the sun sets across the water. Whether you’re watching pelicans drift by whilst kangaroos graze on the banks or catching that golden light on the water, every day feels like a painting brought to life.
Additional Features
No detail has been overlooked in the care and upkeep of this special property. A recently upgraded driveway, crafted from premium Brazilian quartz and reinforced with steel, will serve beautifully for decades to come. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped to offer lush greenery with low maintenance. Outside, travertine tiles have been laid from the lower level down to the private entertaining space – where garden meets water in total harmony.
An external double garage offers secure parking and also features a studio or gym space below, giving you flexibility for hobbies, art, or wellness pursuits. Storage throughout the home is exceptional, with multiple built-in areas to keep life tidy and effortless.
This is more than just a home. It’s the chance to live a slower, richer, more connected life – a front-row seat to the beauty of Burrill Lake, where peace isn’t a concept, but a daily experience.
