Perched high above Burleigh in the coveted Koala Park enclave, this Mediterranean-inspired coastal masterpiece blurs the line between home and escape.

Infused with the light, texture and spirit of Santorini and Mykonos, there are no straight lines here – only soft sculpted forms that flow with texture and soul.

“Villa 81 can be best described as a luxurious Mediterranean oasis hidden within a koala-laden Australian forest,” Rez Tal told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Anyone who enters Villa 81 gasps in excitement at the high ceilings, thick traditional Italian lime rendered walls and arches upon arches looking out onto a perfectly designed lounge, dining, kitchen area with wide opening doors onto a sparkling aqua swimming pool and an impressive outdoor entertainment and BBQarea. It is truly a magnificent sight to see on a summer's day and shines proudly like a high end boutique holiday resort that you won't forget,” he said.

“Arriving up a hidden driveway to a serene, all-white villa inspired by the Greek Islands is your first surprise. The impressive entry stairs lined with funky cactus plants lead to a 150-year old antique front door imported from India, which feels like a gateway to a faraway land,” Rez explained to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

The home’s gentle patina layers the imported Italian lime render with grand chandeliers and a three-metre commissioned mosaic that greets guests in the foyer. Imported doors have been restored and painted by a French artist, while the bathroom and shower walls were hand-sanded with undulating curves by trained sculptors. The internal design was created by set builders from international movie teams, led by Dave Lacey.

“Every door and window in Villa 81 has a story, whether they be old world antiques sourced from Cairo or Rajasthan or traditional warehouses in Sydney. This jaw-dropping backdrop lends space for the grand unique artworks and handmade wall-size mosaics that feel like a private exclusive gallery which excite the eye every way you look,” Rez said.

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, Ev Meyer. 

“The designers of Villa 81 used their travels through the Mediterranean as inspiration for this project, fusing traditional architectural ideas with their own modern twists to create a soothing, comfortable, practical villa that leaves a memorable impression with all who enter,” Rez told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

This is not Ev Meyer’s first recognised house design - past projects on the Gold Coast have been featured in design magazines and newspaper articles, noted for their unique, stunning, perfectly balanced aesthetic that wows every visitor.

At the heart of the home, 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 the entertaining deck.

“The villa has become a renowned highly sought after photo shoot location for fashion labels as well as a boutique high end couples’ Airbnb. The view from the lush master bedroom looks out onto the Burleigh coastline and creek from the kingsize bed covered in layers of 100% french flax linen and natural bedding,” Rez explained.

Framed by floor to ceiling glass and a private balcony, the master suite enjoys breathtaking outlooks of emerald forest and turquoise sea, 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. 

Additional details include 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. From here it’s 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.
