The true heart and soul of this home is the way the expansive living areas flow seamlessly out to the manicured grounds.

This abode truly takes advantage of the private position taking in sweeping views and cool breezes.

The clever design of this home becomes most evident when standing in the huge open plan living/ dining area. From here the pool, deck and yard are all in full view – perfect for entertaining and watching the kids.

The kitchen also boasts this feature as well as being probably of the best laid out and most spacious kitchens that you will come across offering modern appliances making this home both practical as well as stylish.

When it comes to outdoor living very few homes in the Gold Coast hinterland could claim themselves as peers. With an immaculately maintained lawn, expansive entertainers’ deck and one of the most stunningly finished swimming pools you will ever see. Surrounded by Noche Travertine tiles and an expansive 100sqm Black Butt deck as well as generously designed kids play step and a frameless glass fence to allow monitoring of children with ease, this centrepiece is the perfect place to celebrate Christmas this year. The rich colours flow seamlessly into the surrounding greenery and put the finishing touches on what is a truly entertaining patio perfect for the weekend barbeque or cocktail parties. The entire area is privately concealed behind freshly planted Lilly Pillys along the neighbouring fence line and giant golden canes that shade the pool in the afternoon from the Western sun.

Unfortunately the owners had to move back to Brisbane to live but said that they had grand plans for this area including opening it up to the living with massive bi fold doors an constructing a new lined roof to cover the entire space, creating an internal/ external addition to the home including servery windows to the kitchen, down lights, fans and surround sound. (Concept Designs Available)

There is also a massive Rumpus Room, as large as a double garage that offers endless opportunities to be utilised as a Kids Play Room, Second Living Area or converted into a self-contained residence as there is a fully renovated bathroom directly accessible from this space.

There really isn’t anything this home doesn’t offer yet somehow it manages to fit it all on one level, mostly thanks to the gargantuan 4034sqm grounds it calls home.

This is a must see for 2014 and will be sold so make sure you inspect this weekend before this truly unique and stately abode is secured by a savvy buyer.

The owners have had to move back to Brisbane for work and are heartbroken that they have had to leave what they thought was going to be their family home, but this offers up a rare opportunity to purchase this magnificent residence.
