112 Pacific Road, Palm Beach, NSW 2108

If there's an idyllic secluded bush retreat to be found in Palm Beach, 'Burrawong' clearly takes the prize.

Positioned at the top of a private drive, a charming residence was lovingly crafted using local sandstone and materials shipped in by boat. It's one of a rare handful of homes that still exist along the much-coveted ridgeline between the Pacific Ocean and Pittwater tucked within an exceptionally private 2,168 sqm parcel and adjacent to McKay Reserve.

The historic homestead and its magnificent native bush and gardens are timeless and utterly captivating – this is pure romance with a magical, storey-book feel; it's also the kind of place you couldn't imagine finding in Palm Beach. Meticulously restored by its owners over the last four decades, the homestead retains all the integrity of its century-old lineage, while careful updates reflect the way we live now. Sandstone walls, French doors, white casement windows and original hardwood floors define the luminous interiors, with Jasmine-covered trellises sheltering the stone terraces and deck. The grounds are spectacular – century-old trees shade the lush green lawns, with splashes of colour from the flowering gardens; a studio once used to send morse code is an exquisite spot to find your inner poet. The sweeping grounds are surrounded by native bush providing privacy and creating a retreat like no other.

'Burrawong' is pretty much perfect.
