Villa 81 – A Mediterranean Masterpiece Above the Sea
House - Burleigh heads qld
81 Ocean Parade, Burleigh Heads – Koala Park
Perched high above Burleigh in the coveted Koala Park enclave, Villa 81 is where every day feels like a holiday. A Mediterranean coastal masterpiece infused with the light, texture and spirit of Santorini and Mykonos, it blurs the line between home and escape.
Designed around the philosophy of ‘Perfection Within Imperfection’, every curve, arch and surface carries intention. There are no straight lines here – only soft sculpted forms that flow with texture and soul. A gentle patina moves through the house, its layers of tone and depth revealing a story of hand and time. Imported Italian lime render breathes through the walls, purifying the air, while grand chandeliers cascade from extreme high ceilings throughout, illuminating hand laid mosaics that whisper craftsmanship and spirit.
The airy open plan kitchen, dining and living area has been luxuriously designed with Neil Perry’s Omega appliances, stone benchtops, bespoke lighting and a butler’s pantry. Vast glass sliding doors draw in light and ocean air, opening to a wide entertaining deck where sun and breeze define the day.
Every door tells a story – antiques 150 to 200 years old sourced from Cairo and Rajasthan, with a haveli carved main door standing as a statement of artistry and welcome. An oversized antique cast iron window repurposed from a historic Sydney warehouse adds old world romance to the interior. At the entrance, a three-metre commissioned mosaic greets guests in the foyer – a stunning centrepiece that sets the tone for what awaits within.
The Mykonos style swimming pool shimmers in white and blue, framing tranquil ocean vistas. The master suite enjoys breathtaking outlooks of emerald forest and turquoise sea, framed by floor to ceiling glass and a private balcony, complemented by a walk-in wardrobe, dressing room and a lavish ensuite. Across four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living zones, the floor plan flows with ease – supported by an oversized garage, utility room and ample storage. You’ll find a beautifully appointed laundry complete with generous cupboards and a laundry chute. The home is constructed entirely in solid concrete and fitted with ducted air-conditioning throughout, Villa 81 blends sculptural beauty with enduring strength.
The residence is perfectly adapted to its elevated site, its multi level, north east facing design capturing breeze, light and serenity. Set on its own title at the end of a private driveway serving only two homes, privacy is absolute – you can see out, but no one can see in. Yet you’re superbly connected: only three minutes to the Burleigh Pavilion, beaches, James Street and Stockland Shopping Centre, five minutes to the M1, and less than five minute walk to forest trails that lead to Tallebudgera Creek’s private sandy beaches.
Purpose designed for aesthetic living, Villa 81 excels as a private sanctuary, a luxury short-stay retreat and a world-class photoshoot location, with multiple vignettes intentionally crafted by its designer.
