To arrange an inspection please call or email agent Renee Lavender.

Aptly named ‘Drumlanrig’ after the Scottish ‘majestic castle’, the beauty of this unique colonial-style homestead has to be seen to be believed. Perched upon 4 acres of elevated land, this remarkable home boasts sweeping views stretching as far as the ocean in the east, the mountains in the west and the twinkling Mackay city lights in the north. Raise your kids on the active rural lifestyle you always wished you had, surrounded by native greenery and plenty of space to roam. Despite feeling worlds away from the commotion, you’ll be just 10 mins from Sarina for all the essentials and under 20 mins from the CBD and airport!

Once you scale the tree-lined driveway, notice the feeling of relief that comes over you as you enter a private paradise of your very own. The home instantly gives off a warm, welcoming impression with its wide wraparound verandah and classic brick façade. Inside, stunning original features like the timber staircase and rich timber kitchen collide with tasteful modern upgrades to give off a truly unique and timeless feel. Some of the thoughtful renovations made by the current owners include new timber-look hybrid plank flooring, full upgrades to 2 bathrooms and interior repainting.

Whether you’ve got a couple of young kids, older teens or even relatives under your roof, the home’s spacious layout strikes the perfect balance between bringing you together and giving everyone their own space. Downstairs, the living and dining zones have great connectivity to the verandah for alfresco entertaining, plus their huge bay windows showcase the dazzling distant views. While the grown-ups share a bottle of wine and catch up after dinner, the kids can head upstairs to their own cosy rumpus wing which has room for desks, toy chests, an entertainment unit, you name it. But that’s not all – down the hill you’ll have a studio at your disposal with a single room, living/dining zone, kitchenette, bathroom and laundry! Use this as a guesthouse, home business hub, or take a leaf out of the current owners’ book and rent it out for a solid return.

Why we LOVE 39 Burnell Drive…

- Panoramic views – Just one look at the rolling hills & glistening waterways in the distance will be enough to send you head over heels in love. Practically every room of the house offers a new perspective of the leafy rural surrounds, with intentional design inclusions like bay windows & French doors to take advantage of the scenery & radiant natural light

- The great outdoors – This property has been impeccably maintained, with established fruit trees & bottle trees framing the home beautifully. And it won’t be difficult to keep it that way, as you’ll have multiple water tanks servicing the property & an impressive 3-bay powered shed for storing all the tools & toys. At the end of a long day, there’ll be nothing like lounging in the shade of your verandah, cool drink in hand as you watch the kids play in the yard with a vivid sunset backdrop

- Versatile living benefits – Having a self-contained studio off the main homestead will open up so many doors for hosting loved ones, operating a client-based business or renting (note that it is previously tenanted for $250 per week!).
