Reminiscent of the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era, this former Boys Town prize home is a rare find. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac and under 20 minutes from Surfers Paradise, it's a secret sanctuary hidden within a 1056m2 wildlife haven. Overlooking 17ha Lake Hugh Muntz, a landlocked and shark-free waterway, it is a nature lover's dream where swans glide majestically by, water dragons sun themselves on rocky outcrops and birds are in full song.
Resting amongst the enchanting gardens is the cherished home of a Hollywood film producer. Solid brick, with concrete foundations, double oak front doors open up to reveal a vintage treasure. Sprawling across a single level and impeccably maintained, it's uniquely appointed with signed memorabilia and collectibles from Elvis Presley, Dame Virginia McKenna of "Born Free" fame, and Tippi Hedren - Alfred Hitchcock's star of "The Birds" all included.
Exclusive Noble House interior design and furniture add to the romance and charm, notably in the enormous formal living room. Wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling bay windows with gold scalloped curtains frame idyllic views, complemented by baroque furniture and a cream lacquered Young Chang baby grand piano.
In the kitchen, essential appliances accompany the original solid wood cabinetry, updated with a modern fit out behind the doors. For informal meals, retreat to the family room, where old master artwork replicas of Constable and Canelletto adorn the walls and a soaring timber-beamed ceiling enhances the warmth and charm. Alternatively, regale guests with a banquet in the formal dining room, gathering around a stunning alabaster table and enjoying a full-bodied red wine decanted from the built-in bar.
Five bedrooms also feature, including the main with a walk-in robe and ensuite with bidet. In the second bathroom, gold fittings and oversized spa add a dash of glamour. Additionally, a "ye olde cabin" awaits, furnished with genuine antiques and evoking the serenity and charm of an authentic rustic retreat.
Outdoors, dual staircases sweep down to the lake, while landscaped grounds offer tranquillity and privacy. There's even a heated saltwater pool for a rejuvenating swim on a chilly winter morning and a prime location that promises peace and privacy without compromising on proximity to amenities. Close to Q Super Centre, sporting amenities, schools and parks, it's also under 10 minutes to golden beaches, Pacific Fair, The Star and a host of coastal restaurants, bars and cafes.
Crafted for those who value character, history and heart - and not for those who dream of white, modern minimalism- this is a property to be experienced rather than inspected. Contact Campbell Moore on 0414 333 722 today.
