Within Australia's architectural canon, few names carry the weight of Gabriel Poole. RAIA Gold Medallist and one of the most visionary residential architects this country has produced, Poole's homes didn't simply respond to the Queensland landscape - they celebrated it.
But this home is something rarer still.
This extraordinary lakeside villa at Lakes Coolum, Mount Coolum, is a work of the Gabriel & Elizabeth Poole Design Company - the celebrated creative partnership between Gabriel Poole and his wife, renowned interior designer and artist Elizabeth Frith. Together they formed one of Australia's most distinctive architectural and design collaborations, and this residence stands as a testament to that shared vision in its fullest expression.
Now offered to the market for the first time in many years, and presented entirely turnkey - furniture, fittings, and Elizabeth Frith's original artwork collection included - this is a once in a generation opportunity to acquire one of Australia's most significant residential works, completely intact.

The Architecture
Designed specifically for Queensland's subtropical climate, this 444sqm residence is a masterclass in the integration of indoor and outdoor living. Five metre high vaulted ceilings create an extraordinary sense of volume and light, while floor to ceiling glazing frames the lake and Mount Coolum as living artwork. Cross ventilation and the elevated position capture cooling coastal breezes year round, delivering effortless natural comfort.
Elizabeth Frith's influence is evident throughout - premium timber floors and ceilings, full height travertine stone bathrooms, and a designer kitchen with Corian benchtops, European appliances, bespoke lighting, and walk in pantry reflect an interior sensibility as refined as the architecture itself. The master suite offers genuine seclusion, a walk in dressing room, and an ensuite complete with sunken bath and spa-like finishes.
The thoughtfully landscaped 1,050sqm gardens attract an extraordinary array of native wildlife - kangaroos, black swans, water dragons, and abundant birdlife - creating a living natural environment that remains one of the home's most quietly extraordinary qualities. Multiple entertaining terraces overlook the lake, with Mount Coolum providing a constant and dramatic backdrop.
