Some houses are built. This one was composed. Set behind a veil of landscaped gardens on an elevated 973sqm north-facing block, 112 New South Head Road is a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, material honesty and total livability. The kind of home that doesn't chase attention, because it doesn't need to.

Designed by the acclaimed Jorge Hrdina Architects, the residence is a masterclass in restraint: concrete, rammed earth, American oak and glass, arranged so that every material earns its place. Nothing here is decorative for its own sake. The result is a home that feels both monumental and quiet: a bold minimalist form softened by natural texture and an unbroken relationship with the outdoors.

"A remarkable family sanctuary defined by enduring style, substance and liveability."

An Entertainer's Sequence, Reimagined

Walls of glass fold away to dissolve the line between inside and out, opening onto a private, north-facing backyard built for the way Sydney actually lives: outdoors, in the light, most of the year. A newly laid high-performance Accoya timber deck frames a fully retiled heated pool in Ezarri glass tiling with 50mm Scala travertine coping, while a Japanese-inspired garden (custom stone seating designed by Concrete Bespoke, landscaping by TOPOS Landscape Architects) offers a second, quieter register entirely: somewhere to sit with a coffee and hear nothing but the garden.

A Chef's Kitchen With No Compromises

At the centre of the home, a chef's kitchen has been comprehensively upgraded to a standard most renovations never reach. A vast island in timber and concrete anchors a suite of brand-new Fisher & Paykel appliances, twin dishwashers, a self-cleaning oven, Barazza gas cooktop, Liebherr fridge, freezer and wine fridge, and sleek integrated LED lighting. It is a kitchen built for real entertaining, not staged for photos, engineered for use.

Scale Without Excess

Accommodation runs to four generous bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, plus a flexible study or fifth bedroom. Upstairs, the master suite is a home within the home: an adjoining retreat, a boutique dressing room, and a marble-finished ensuite that would not look out of place in a five-star suite. A Heat n Glo gas fireplace, underfloor heating throughout, a series of skylights, fresh carpet and American oak fixtures round out a house that has been considered down to the last detail.

The Address

Elevated, with harbour glimpses through the tree line, 112 New South Head Road sits moments from Christison Park, the clifftop walkways to Watsons Bay, Parsley Bay, and the cafés and village shops of Vaucluse, with some of Sydney's most prestigious schools, including Kincoppal-Rose Bay, Kambala and Kesser Torah College, all within a short walk. This is eastern suburbs living at its most complete: private, established, and irreplaceable.

The Numbers

4 bedrooms · 3 bathrooms · 4 car spaces · 973sqm north-facing landholding · double carport with remote gate access.

Inspections are running Wednesday 19 August, Saturday 22 August and Wednesday 26 August, 1:00–1:45pm, ahead of auction on Wednesday 23 September at 5:00pm.

Some hotels announce themselves with scale. Mondrian Gold Coast does it with restraint. Ennismore's design-forward brand has landed in Burleigh Heads not as a spectacle but as a mood: warm limewashed plaster, terracotta and boucle in equal measure, and a wall of glass at every turn, framing the one thing the whole build revolves around, the horizon.

It's a look that trades the Gold Coast's usual high-gloss, high-rise language for something quieter and more considered. Curved joinery, hand-finished textures and a warm, sand-and-clay palette run through every space, ocean views arrive almost as a formality: the design is confident enough to hold its own without them.

A View Considered From Every Room

The one-bedroom ocean suites are the clearest expression of the brief. Floor-to-ceiling glass runs the width of the living area, curtains pull back to a private balcony, and the furniture, a boucle sofa, a sculptural coffee table, a single burnt-orange armchair, is arranged so nothing competes with the view. It's a small room doing a lot with very little: the sea is the art.

Haven: Dinner In Golden Light

Downstairs, all-day dining venue Haven is built around the same idea: let the light do the work. Leather-cushioned banquettes and rattan lamps sit under a glass roofline that turns the room amber by late afternoon, the kind of space that photographs beautifully by accident because it was actually designed to be lived in first.

The Detail Is In The Materials

Look closer and the restraint holds up under scrutiny. Arched wardrobe joinery in bleached timber, a blush-pink stone vanity set against black tapware, a compact kitchenette finished in the same warm oak as the rest of the suite. Nothing here is loud, but nothing feels cheap either, it's the kind of detailing that rewards a second look rather than demanding a first one.

Burleigh Heads

The location does its own work. Burleigh Heads has spent the last decade becoming the Gold Coast's most design-literate suburb, its restaurants, surf and easy village pace now sitting alongside a genuine design hotel for the first time. For a market that has long been defined by volume, Mondrian's arrival reads as a statement about where Gold Coast hospitality is heading next.
