A rare Gold Coast lifestyle opportunity has emerged with a versatile family home that blends space, style, and personal character. Designed and curated by its owners over more than three decades, this property exudes a warm, lived-in charm while providing ample space for modern family living.
The home was originally built by the owners, Lance and Gail, over 35 years ago to suit their growing family, complete with a skateboarding ramp in the backyard for their son, and space for a horse to graze in the front yard for their daughter. Over the years, they have infused the house with their eclectic style - a blend of French, English, antique, and contemporary influences - creating a home that feels uniquely theirs.
"It's a home that really reflects our life and passions," says Gail. "We've filled it with pieces we've collected over time - nothing contrived, just things we love that tell our story."
Set across a generous 1.52-acre parcel in Molendinar, the residence spans a spacious 321 square metres of internal living area, with an additional 79 square metres of outdoor deck and verandah space. The thoughtful floor plan centres around a light-filled open-plan living and dining area that flows seamlessly into a modern, centrally positioned kitchen, designed as the heart of the home.
From here, sliding doors open to an enclosed alfresco deck - an inviting space for entertaining family and friends. The expansive outdoor zone features ample room for a 12-seater dining table, overlooking the lush natural surrounds and the property's bridge, creek, and established gardens.
Four spacious bedrooms are positioned for privacy and comfort, including a private master suite with an ensuite and generous proportions. A large laundry connects to a dedicated drying court, adding to the home's everyday practicality.
Beyond the main residence, the property includes a four-bay workshed with 2m clearance roller doors, a storeroom, and a carport with additional off-street parking, perfect for trades, collectors, or those running a home-based business. Eco-conscious buyers will also appreciate the PV solar panels and solar hot water system.
Lance and Gail say the home's layout and location have been ideal for family gatherings over the years. "We've had so many special times here," Gail says. "From baking Christmas puddings in the kitchen to family dinners that spill out onto the back deck - it's been the perfect place to bring everyone together."
Katrina Walsh of Coastal, who is marketing the property, said the home provides a unique opportunity for families to put their own stamp on a well-loved and character-filled property.
"Properties of this calibre are rare, especially on such a large, private block so close to town," says Ms Walsh.
"This house can become a real blank canvas for the new owners' style to shine through. It's a property that balances family functionality with personality and charm, in a location that is peaceful, surrounded by nature, yet only ten minutes from all the amenities families need.
The property has been cherished for its private, tranquil setting while still being conveniently close to schools, major retail centres, and the M1, and combines privacy, practicality, and personality in one remarkable package.
"We've loved raising our family here, from the smallest moments to big celebrations," Gail added. "It will be hard to say goodbye, but it's time for another family to create their own memories here."
