Property Information:

The Gateway at Burden’s Point is a rare offering—1.14 acres of extraordinary waterfront seclusion, where the Dunn House and Burden House stand as refined examples of vernacular Newfoundland architecture at its finest. Designed as either an exclusive private retreat for one or two families, the property also lends itself beautifully to a wellness destination or artist-in-residence sanctuary. The homes have undergone a comprehensive architectural transformation under the direction of award-winning firm Reflect Architecture. Central to their approach was a disciplined restraint—eschewing overt design statements in favour of a thoughtful reinterpretation of the original structures. This careful balance enhances contemporary comfort while preserving the enduring character of the homes and their presence within the iconic landscape. The interiors draw inspiration from the simplicity and integrity of the original white shiplap, resulting in a crisp, modern aesthetic that feels both grounded and timeless. The Burden House features an expansive kitchen and dining space designed for gathering, while the Dunn House offers a more relaxed family room with an open kitchenette and dining area. Each home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing comfort and flexibility for both private use and hosting. The setting is truly unparalleled—offering a sense of peace and solitude without isolation. Access is effortless, with a short boat ride or sheltered walk across the harbour connecting you to the broader community. This is a place where life unfolds as if within the pages of a design magazine—yet just beyond your door awaits hiking, boating, and the raw beauty of Newfoundland’s rugged coastline. (id:27)
