Overview

$1.495M - Amazing One Acre Waterfront Property

Put the crab pots out at low tide, sit back relax and wait for dinner (or breakfast) to come to you... As the new owner of this magnificent property you will be the envy of your friends and relatives, owning a one acre waterfront property, with approximately 50 meters of glistening water frontage! A truly outstanding property, with a host of lavish inclusions and a breathtaking location. This supreme residence busts through the threshold of island real estate, setting a new benchmark for the discerning buyer. Situated in a quiet rural setting, the 4047m2 (1 acre) of land with its fifty metres of water frontage, has a magical view of the bay and Stradbroke Island. Views from your backyard are not just incorporating the bay and Stradbroke Island, but part of a skyline from Surfers Paradise as well. The sights, breezes and panorama from there are spectacular and spell-binding to say the least. This is a lifestyle-enhancing gift for boat access, crabs and fishing from your own land. Entertain with friends, or just sit it out with a cold one, and wait for free feeds from nature to come winding in. Throw up a marquee and hold formal events, or host distinctly memorable barbeques with friends. It is expansive, peaceful and enthralling and will never cease to impress. Now, whilst you are down there, turn around and look up at your new home. The dwellings are placed wisely, with the character of an overseas, reclusive retreat. The two buildings are linked by a bridge-like walkway, spreading from each large deck. And yes, that space under the main building would make for an additional barbecue/entertainment area (perhaps overlooking a pool). In any case, there is ample storage to be had underneath each section. The three-bedroom home includes an en-suite, built-in wardrobes, and an extremely exciting list of additional delights listed below. There is also a fully self contained granny flat - or, is it your flat, and others live in the main house? It is striking in design and appearance. The large tiles and clean lines flavour the eyes as much as the waterfront visions that you are becoming enamoured with. Supreme shower luxury and a massive deck really do set the example here of how sweet a design can be. Privacy is abundant, with no need ever to even draw the blinds from that wonderful view. What you see is what you get here. Appliances galore, even the big screen in the theatre room. You have fridges, washing machines, brand new dishwashers and more. Also, note that many of these top-brand items have never been used. For a move to the island, this is cost-saving and deliciously appealing. • Spectacular waterfront home on 4047 m2 (that’s 1 acre) • 50 metres of water frontage, including your own sandy beach • 3 Bedrooms + granny flat • 3 Bedrooms • Separate buildings – multiple living options • Massive separate garage for vehicles, art gallery, music studio or any project (with water and power) • Included with the home are some new or modern appliances, including two new Dish Washers, Ovens, Cooktops ad household furniture • Tractor, tinny and free seafood (when caught) • Multiple split-system air conditioners • Ceiling fans throughout • Hallway lighting with motion sensors • Built-ins • Huge walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite with His & Hers basin area • Another bathroom with Jacuzzi and shower • Another deck for the main bedroom • Cinema room (that Sony large screen is now yours) • Outstanding kitchen with unused dishwasher installed and wine fridge (also yours) • High ceilings • Car storage, boat storage, plus workshop/hobby area • Additional garage suiting laundry with rumpus area/pool room • Beautiful wooden floors • Low-maintenance grounds with picnic/bbq area, and fire pit • Room to host weddings or functions here, or just keep the decadence for you and your family • Large chicken coup/bird enclosure • Shipping container for additional, secure storage • Drop the boat in from your own property • Security screens • Retractable blinds for the main deck • Secure CCTV system Where else in Queensland could you find such a remarkable property under $1.5M??? This home and land package sets a fresh pinnacle for waterfront living. The culmination of design, development and style here is, quite simply, rare and wonderful to behold.
