LUXURIOUS EUROPEAN DESIGN INSPIRED HOME IN BEACH MILIEU
Set in grounds of nearly half an acre, 5 Castaway Close is set on the largest block in Bargara’s exclusive Beach Milieu development. Here, you can lose yourself in luxurious personal-resort style living where privacy has been made a top-priority. An oasis in Bargara, the mature garden is completely enclosed by tall trees and native plants with no overlooking buildings, giving the feeling of full secluded privacy, while being within a few minutes’ walk from Bargaras Golf Course, Sports Clubs,cafes, shops and supermarkets.

Designed by European architect Lionello Bolgiani, this 360+ square metre north-facing home was inspired by a fusion of the villas of Tuscany and the modernity of Milan, with a design-brief to give a feeling of bringing the garden inside. Designed for Queensland’s year round outdoor lifestyle, large 60cm x 60cm Italian porcelain tiles (imported from Modena) flow seamlessly from inside to out through wide-opening patio doors, while floor to ceiling windows flood the house with natural light from morning till evening.

Sip cocktails on the beach entry of the large (12m x 5.5m) in-ground saltwater swimming pool with underwater coloured lighting which has ducting ready for a heating system if required; have an aperitivo sitting at the outdoor hardwood servery while listening to music on the centrally controlled, wired in-ceiling alfresco sound system or host a barbecue in the black granite topped outdoor kitchen, simply surrounded by the tranquil sounds of nature. The alfresco is covered by a large roof designed to block the full summer sun, but allow the gentler winter sun to enter the house.

The house comprises security video entry phone system, double garage, four bedrooms (two ensuite), three bathrooms (with Bizazza mosaic imported from Vicenza), a media room (with in-wall wiring for surround sound system), a separate large play room, large office (with data connection point), high-ceiling open kitchen, dining and living area with separate walk-in pantry.

The large kitchen has 4cm thickness Star-Galaxy granite worktops and dropdown sides throughout, including a large kitchen-island. In-ceiling wired speakers in the kitchen and living areas provide centrally controlled musical entertainment while cabinets are fitted with soft-close drawers (including a custom-made European-oak cutlery draw insert, hand crafted in Milan) and Italian SMEG appliances, including a large five-place 90cm ceramic cooktop, dishwasher, convection oven, microwave and plumbed-in fridge. The kitchen receives natural light all day with an east facing window above the cooktop and a north facing bi-fold window with access to the servery and outdoor kitchen/dining area.

The master bedroom suite currently has a super-king size bed, walk-in robe plus separate built-in wardrobe. The lavish ensuite bathroom (13.5m2) has floor to ceiling tiles, wired in-ceiling speakers, floor level lighting, Travertine wash basins (imported from Montemerano in Tuscany), bidet, large semi-framed shower and large spa corner bath looking out onto the garden and the starry sky.

All but three rooms have direct access to the outside space, which includes more than 200 square meters of outdoor tiled area, accessed via sliding glass doors. A guest annexe with double bedroom and ensuite bathroom opens up onto a private and secluded Jarrah-decked courtyard. The fully mature garden has been designed to be low maintenance, with an automated sprinkler/irrigation system for the extensive Empire Zoysia lawns and weed-proof borders topped with decorative white marble rocks. There are in-ground path-lights, coloured feature spot-lights and roof height security flood lights.

There is a small frosted glass pedestrian gate and a large vehicular gate at the front of the house allows access for a boat, Winnebago or caravan and there is sufficient room at the far end of the garden for a single tennis court without impinging on the beautiful lawn.

Exclusive features include:
- Hardwood servery and bifold window in the kitchen
- Outside kitchen with sink cabinets, barbecue with roaster, hob and granite top. To inspect, note the advertised Open Home times or connect with your Exclusive Richardson and Wrench Bargara Beach Agent, Le-Anne Allan today on 0417-775718 or l.allan@randw.com.au
