Just 200m from golden beaches, wetlands, and mangroves — and only an hour from Brisbane CBD — this bespoke Eco-home offers a lifestyle of quiet peace, sustainability, and connection. Nestled on a corner block in the heart of sought-after Coochiemudlo Island, this unique and bespoke dual-living haven with solid bones blends thoughtful design with permaculture abundance.
Perfect for nature lovers, green-thinkers, and anyone seeking a slower, more intentional way of living. See the stars at night, hear only nature, smell the bush! Consider the possibilities: if you want to go off grid, you are only another battery away. If you want to grow vegetables, you have 5 wicking beds plus more at your disposal. If you want family holidays with the grand kids, this house can sleep a lot of people!
