Lovers of historical fiction and period films will be absolutely delighted to see this extravagant coastal estate come onto the market for the first time in more than a decade.
Sprawling across 20 acres in the beautiful South Coast hamlet of Burrill Lake, F279A Princes Highway features manicured gardens, a nine-hole golf course, heated pool and spa, stables and more, all within walking distance of divine Wairo Beach. The 800 square metre mansion has seven regal bedrooms, five bathrooms and multiple living spaces under the name ‘Chateau Morrow’.
Winding staircases, opulent fireplaces, crystal chandeliers and golden fixtures make the property a popular destination for weddings, events and luxury weekends away. The chateau has even been used as a grand backdrop for film and photography in its time.
Sales agent Robert Granger of Raine & Horne Mollymook Milton says the French provincial manor breezily exudes timeless luxury and elegance, but there’s a certain sense of comfort and serenity as well.
“Travelling up the maple-lined driveway, past the water fountain and into the entrance hall is like taking a step back in time,” he says.
“There’s really nothing quite like this on the South Coast. You might find similar builds up in the Southern Highlands, but they don’t have a picture-perfect beach within walking distance.”
Chateau Morrow’s interior is indeed like something out of a movie – Pride & Prejudice comes to mind when standing in the stained-glass-framed foyer or relaxing in the formal lounge.
If a sunnier disposition tickles your fancy, why not unwind in the garden room instead? Surrounded by glass on all sides, it’s a warm, inviting space overlooking lush gardens.
Things get a little more modern in the kitchen, which is kitted out with quality appliances, black pearl granite benchtops and a Canadian oak island bench. Dining is certainly done in style here, in a 20-person space framed by delicate cornices and spiral pillars.
“There’s even a self-contained wing offering a private retreat while the rest of the mansion is occupied,” Robert says.
“It’s equipped with its own kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, one with an elegant balcony that looks across the pool below.”
Other features of note on the ground floor are a cinema room, billiards room and versatile living/TV room.
Upstairs is no less grand, with sweeping views of the grounds from all bedrooms. The master suite, of course, has a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a huge ensuite with a freestanding bathtub. Its private balcony provides one of the best views on the property.
Every outside space at Chateau Morrow is immaculate, from the covered terrace and 70,000-litre heated saltwater pool and spa to the picturesque lawns and hedges bordered by mature palms.
This estate is made whole by a nine-hole golf course set in cleared bushland, a short walk from the chateau itself. There are approved plans for five-holiday cabins to be built here.
A property of this calibre is not to be missed by the astute investor, Robert says.
“Chateau Morrow is impeccably positioned less than 15 minutes from Mollymook, Milton Village and Ulladulla, yet incredibly private and surrounded by gorgeous National Park bushlands,” he says.
“This home has been master-built and designed with so much love and care and has so much potential for continued growth alongside the current business offering.
“Any holiday buyer would be lucky to add Chateau Morrow to their portfolio.”
