A Winner of ‘The Voice Australia’ Designed This $4 Million Minimalist Home in the Kangaroo Valley

Set on 36 acres overlooking Australia‘s Lake Yarrunga, architect Alfie Arcuri’s Lakehouse brings sleek modern design to one of New South Wales’ most peaceful corners. The single-level home is all about connection—to the water, to the verdant landscape, and to a slower way of living.

Before Arcuri became known for winning The Voice Australia in 2016, he was a practicing architect with firms including Mosca Pserras Architects and Felton. Though his career eventually shifted toward music, his architectural aesthetic runs deep, which is clearly reflected in the Lakehouse’s clean geometry, abundant natural light, and strong visual rhythm.

Adding to its appeal, the Lakehouse is one of the few properties in Kangaroo Valley with direct lake frontage, and with no motorized boats allowed, the water stays mirror-still, a natural playground for swimming, kayaking, or simply doing nothing at all.

The four-bedroom, five-bath home is defined by clean lines and open spaces, with walls of glass framing panoramic views in every direction. Polished concrete floors and paneled ceilings bring a modern, grounded feel, while a dramatic living and dining space centers around a stacked-stone fireplace. Elsewhere, you’ll find a custom blackbutt-and-stone kitchen, complete with a butler’s pantry.

Each bedroom comes with a private bath and lake outlook, while the primary suite adds a walk-in closet and extra-large bath. Outdoors, a roughly 40-foot travertine-framed infinity pool and spa lead to multiple terraces, a sunken lounge, and manicured gardens, while a self-contained guest studio with bath provides flexibility—ideal for visitors or as a short-term rental. Sustainability is built into the design, too, with a 42,000-gallon underground rainwater tank and a separate irrigation system.

“Beyond the exceptional quality of the finishes, it’s the extreme privacy and tranquility that truly sets this property apart,” says James Hall, head of luxury residential and rural sales at Savills Australia. “With dramatic cliffs and the serene lake as backdrop, it feels like a place where you can completely disconnect and escape. It’s an incredibly special retreat.” The property is being listed at AUS$6 million (about $3.9 million).

Kangaroo Valley has quietly become one of Australia’s most coveted rural escapes, drawing in design enthusiasts and privacy seekers looking for space and seclusion to create custom homes. Aussies Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have long kept roots in the region with Bunya Hill, their historic 110-acre farm in Sutton Forest, New South Wales. The couple reportedly paid between $4 million and $6.5 million for the property back in 2008. Now that they’ve separated, speculation is swirling over who will hold on to that pastoral prize among the other properties in their global real estate portfolio.
