Have we mentioned the views?
Set across two generous blocks, this unique 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is perched in a peaceful cul-de-sac on Russell Island and offers incredible, never-to-be-built-out views to the water. With a quiet grass road behind the property (a true Russell Island quirk), you're just 100m from water access.
Inside, the home is packed with character and warmth. Think soaring timber ceilings, wood accents throughout, and a layout inspired by yacht living. The breezeway links two of the bedrooms to the main living space, while the third bedroom downstairs offers privacy and a luxe bathroom with a huge rain shower.
• Open plan living with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and a charming wood stove
• 2 blocks - separate titles
• Stunning timber details – ceilings, countertops, and finishes
• High-speed NBN
• Biolytix worm septic system – regularly serviced and reliable
• Two-car garage with barn door access – ideal man cave or workshop
Outdoor living is what it's all about here.
Enjoy dinner from the pizza oven on the lower deck, just around the corner from mature fruit trees – olives, citrus, mangoes, lychee, pomegranates and more. The rich soil, four water tanks, and a garden shed make it ideal for green thumbs.
And those sunsets? Spectacular. We missed capturing the best one by a day – maybe you'll send us a photo once you're settled in.
