Overview

The Opportunity – An Epic 607m² Lot with Blue-Chip Potential, Two-Street Frontage on Burleigh Hea

Positioned on a generous 607 square meter parcel in the sought-after Burleigh Hills area, this property offers exceptional flexibility with dual street frontage and three clear development pathways. Buyers can choose to build a landmark trophy home, explore duplex development potential subject to council approval and lot realignment, or retain and enjoy the existing nostalgic 1950s cottage featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and parking for 1 car plus a carport.

The elevated site captures natural light, coastal views, and cooling breezes, and is located just moments from Burleigh’s iconic beach and vibrant lifestyle precinct. This blue-chip opportunity is defined by its land size, rare two-street frontage, prime location, and long-term growth potential. The dual street frontage enhances design flexibility and access options.

Architectural plans are in place, including preliminary development application plans by Stuart Osman, an award-winning residential building designer. These plans propose two luxurious architectural villas up to 2.5 or 3 levels, each with separate street access, subject to council approval. The lot is also suitable for a high-end architectural trophy home. Drone photography and schematic site plans by Baydon Goddard, another award-winning architect, showcase the site and various build options.

There are three compelling pathways for this property:

• Build a Landmark Trophy Home: A generous 607 square meter canvas to design a statement residence that captures views, elevation, aspect, coastal breezes, and prestige. Ideal for a generational home that stands out in Burleigh’s prestigious hillside pocket.
• Duplex Development (STCA): The valuable dual street frontage lends itself to two high-end villas or freestanding homes of 2 to 3 levels, appealing to downsizers, investors, or multi-generational buyers seeking new coastal living options.
• Enjoy Living In or Lease the Existing Retro Home: The charming 1950s cottage offers immediate livability or rental income with 2 bedrooms, an office, 1 car lock-up garage, a large deck, and 108 square meters of interior space. This option allows holding and land banking while planning future development.

Why 607 square meters works well:

• Feels like a true family-sized block in a premium area.
• Supports a generous design footprint for a luxury home.
• More viable for duplex configuration subject to council approval.
• Scarcity factor as larger parcels in Burleigh Hills are tightly held.

Lifestyle benefits include an elevated position with cooling sea breezes and views of the coastline, ocean, and hinterland. The property is situated in a prestige pocket with strong long-term capital growth potential, offering a quiet residential feel while still being close to the action. There is increasing demand for new architectural homes, supporting end value.
