History is repeating itself at 24 Orchard Road, Coconut Grove. It is 20 years ago that Paul and Julie O'Brien nervously made an offer on the eve of an auction on this unique property and they have never regretted paying what was arguably an expensive price at the time but worth every cent. Indeed, agent Rick Trippe arrived at their dining table at Buzz Cafe at Cullen Bay with contract in hand that evening. Rick has again been chosen as the agent to see this fantastic home safely into the hands of the next lucky purchasers. Will it be you this time who snatches the property or will you have to wait another 20 years!

Orchard Park Estates is well known and loved for its large properties - number 24 is roughly ¾ acre and is classified as Rural Residential, meaning that you can keep horses, have fresh eggs for breakfast or a bee hive providing honey for your Sunday morning pancakes.
If you appreciate being awoken by the sounds of the many birds that frequent the property instead of the noise of traffic, you will love living here, as they have.
The long driveway lined with palms, frangipani and crotons, draws you in until it opens up to reveal a beautiful tropical elevated house with wonderful jarrah floors and a multitude of louvres and mirrors which bring the views and the luxurious gardens inside.
Since the O'Briens acquired the property they have added a beautiful salt water pool and extra rooms and laundry/bathroom at ground level for the many family and friends who visit the O'Brien resort. It also boasts a large entertaining room with kitchen and bar.
Take your pick of the many entertainment areas, with magnificent decks front and back providing more space than the original house itself. Have your own private sunset every evening with no other houses to block your view in this quiet cul-de-sac.
The velvet green lawns lead the eye away from the substantial tropical home, to the gate which leads to a sandy, incredibly private beach that only locals are aware of. Ideal for walking the dogs, throw a line in at the creek or catch a mud crab or two.
Don't miss out this time.
