8-16 Riverbend Drive presents a unique opportunity for someone to create a Cinderella story – it is perfect for renovation or redevelopment. Owner will look at all offers!
We’re not going to beat around the bush, the value of this estate is in the land. This is possibly the largest waterfront property currently on the market, a massive 4.3 acres spanning acres 2 blocks with full Nerang River frontage.
The location of this property puts the “bend” in Riverbend Avenue – as you look to either side you will only see river and not the neighbours, plus with dozens of beautiful big trees along the front property line, your privacy will be assured.
The major expenses to the land have already been done, with an extensive winding driveway leading to the front portico and to the four car garage. The property also has a wide boat ramp plus a jetty – however these may require some TLC.
The home itself has seen better days HOWEVER with some imagination it could be brought back to life. The major structure of the home was designed to be timeless, such as the double door entry opening through to the formal lounge via architectural cutouts and indoor garden, the subtle curving walls and the unique design of the master ensuite.
Originally purpose built for multi-generational living with a self contained unit on each wing of the home, these could be used for a caretaker, nanny or even AirBNB if you desired.
You could also renovate the wings to be something completely different – home cinema, gym, rumpus room, and more.
Alternatively, give yourself a blank canvas and create your own masterpiece.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create your own legacy.
