WITH A SELF CONTAINED EXECUTIVE APARTMENT!”The Nest”aptly named as birds are choosy about where they build their nests. Having designed and built three homes on acreage in the hinterland, David and Vangie Bird wanted to ensure that Grandview Terrace Tallai was designed to take full advantage of the sensational views, yet at the same time was a functional and easy to maintain home on acreage.Surrounded by multi million dollar homes,”The Nest”faces north overlooking the Ocean and high-rise of the Gold Coast which at night turns into a spectacular display of lights and colours. To the south the views over the mountains and valleys of the hinterland are simply breathtaking.”The Nest”is an award winning home having been featured in a number of home magazines, newspapers and on television. The kitchen won the Queensland Master Builders Award for the best kitchen of the year and the following year the home won the best Joinery Award for the kitchen, Bathrooms, Ensuite to the main bedroom and the walk in Wine Cellar.The main residence is 378.3 square meters on one level and has been designed to take advantage of the outstanding views and has no wasted space. The main meeting place is a large functional open living area including the award winning kitchen with its glossy granite bench top’s, glass splash backs and quality stainless steel appliances. This living area opens out onto a full-length, tiled deck with glass balustrades and breathtaking views over the hinterland.

The only lawn to mow is at the front of the home and the bulk of the 7005 square meter block is left natural to encourage the wallabies and bird life.With an estimated replacement cost of $2 million, the listed price offers even the most discerning and astute purchaser exceptional value.
