From the moment you step inside, this is a home that draws you towards the water.
Beautifully designed to take full advantage of its elevated position, the home enjoys expansive views across Cow Bay and beyond to Stradbroke and Moreton Islands. The outlook is captured from the living spaces, kitchen, bedrooms and covered deck, creating an ever-changing backdrop of water, sky and island landscape.
Set on a substantial 1,376m² waterfront block, the home sits high above the shoreline, a position that gives it those wonderful uninterrupted views while still providing direct access down through the property towards the water.
The entry gives just a hint of what is to come. A few steps lead to the main living level where high ceilings, generous windows and a light, contemporary interior create a wonderful sense of space.
The kitchen sits beautifully within the open-plan living area, with extensive bench space, plenty of cabinetry and a small butler's pantry providing additional storage and preparation space. Large windows have been deliberately positioned to frame the water, making the view part of everyday life whether you are preparing dinner, sitting at the dining table or simply relaxing at home.
The adjoining living and dining areas open directly onto the covered deck. Generous enough for outdoor dining and lounging, this is a space that will undoubtedly become a favourite — protected from the weather while enjoying an extraordinary outlook across the bay. Morning coffee, long lunches and evenings with friends all come with the same magnificent backdrop.
Also on this level is the main bedroom, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, creating a private retreat away from the guest accommodation.
Upstairs provides excellent separation and flexibility. The second bedroom enjoys beautiful water views, while a separate study or craft room offers a dedicated space for working from home, hobbies or accommodating additional visitors when required. A second bathroom services this level.
Throughout the home, the predominantly white interior, timber-look flooring and soaring ceilings allow the natural light and surrounding landscape to take centre stage. Air conditioning and ceiling fans add year-round comfort.
Outside, the size and elevation of the block become particularly apparent. A staircase leads from the home down through the waterfront allotment to a cleared lower section adjoining the natural mangrove shoreline. It is a reminder that, beyond the beautiful outlook, this is a genuine waterfront property with a substantial parcel of land.
Vehicle accommodation has also been well considered, with a single lock-up garage providing internal access to the home, together with a separate high-clearance carport ideal for a caravan or motorhome.
Established tropical gardens soften the street frontage and create a private entrance, while the elevated position allows the residence to sit above the surrounding greenery with water and island views stretching into the distance.
This is not simply a home with a water view. It is a home that has been designed around it.
Macleay Island is just 18 minutes by passenger ferry from Redland Bay and offers a relaxed village lifestyle with cafés, clubs, shops, medical facilities, school, Post Office and essential services all close at hand.
For those looking for something a little different — contemporary, beautifully considered and with a view that would be difficult to tire of — this home deserves to be seen.
