Wondering where to go for your summer holidays?
How about staying at home? With this bayside purchase, you’ll feel like you’re on holidays every day of the year. From the aqua pool and majestic palms, to the rich timber decks and wide water views, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’re in South-East Asia.
This coveted location on the corner of Bay Drive may not be waterfront, but it does offer a large 800m2 landscaped block, with panoramic views to North Stradbroke and beyond. North-facing with all-day sunshine and cooling sea-breezes, there’s so much to love about this imposing seaside residence.
Enjoy it as a nurturing family base, or run it as an Air BnB for a healthy income. Downsizers, investors and professional couples with an eye for style, will also appreciate everything this home offers:
• Easy maintenance
• Grand design & artisan features
• Temperate indoors all-year, with fans & fireplace
• Sense of calmness
• Natural materials & elemental touches of stone & glass
• Intuitive floorplan
• Insulated & Cat-5 cyclone rating
• Louvre-windows for cross-low ventilation
• Separate living zones
• Places to discover, inside & out
The estate is like a private villa, with nothing left to consider. All the pathways, gardens, lighting, timber features and outdoor zones, blend seamlessly to create a relaxed mood. Inside, be wowed by the vaulted ceilings and expansive use of glass. The architecture imbues a truly spiritual ambiance, as light plays on the water and reflects off the pool.
Zen-out in your day-spa surrounds and enjoy the peacefulness of this coastal-living experience. Awake to birds and the sounds of nature as you start your day with an early-morning swim, while the sun slowly peeks-up from Straddie.
Have a stretch on the yoga pavilion and contemplate your day in the golden glow of sunrise. Let the music of the wind-chimes calm you and allow the evocative memories of incense-filled days in seaside temples, guide you indoors.
Time for breakfast in the timber-inspired 2-chef kitchen, as your eggs vie for attention under the soaring roofline. History abounds with re-purposed beams from shipping docks and the local school. Free-form benchtops combine well with the modern timber cabinetry, offering great storage and a balanced galley design with everything at your fingertips.
Don’t waste too much time day-dreaming over your coffee, as your warm shower beckons from the mezzanine master-retreat, floating overhead. Soak-up the water views from your lofty bedroom as you select today’s attire from the massive walk-thru robe.
You don’t even have to leave home for work, as there’s a dedicated study and NBN connection. You just need to decide if it’s board-shorts or a sarong, for the ‘office’ today? During your downtime, make use of the unique chill-space overlooking the main living area, before the kids return from school and break the silence.
Their domain is downstairs, with two generous bedrooms having built-ins and glass doors leading to a shared outdoor terrace, handy for an all-weather hang-out. There’s an incredible full bathroom with toilet, vanity and shower, plus a round spa strategically positioned to appreciate the view. Just surrender to its massaging jets and feel rejuvenated.
For the car enthusiast, two driveways provide separate access, with one leading to an enormous drive-thru garage and workshop. You’ll find 3-phase power, mezzanine storage and shiny industrial checkerboard-plate walls, making this the perfect man-cave with its wet-bar and direct-access to the house.
Tiled throughout, your sanctuary is cool and inviting with a healing energy. The voluminous open-plan living and dining area is fringed by tropical foliage, yet protected by midge-screened glass-sliders to keep you comfortable.
This home has an intuitive flow and merges with the environment for a perfect alfresco lifestyle. Get the gang around for a long lunch, then spill onto a deck for sunset drinks, before toasting marshmallows over the fire-pit with the kids.
Embrace the sense of space and creative use of daybeds for mindful meditation or a massage. You’ll find secret nooks to curl-up with a book; inspiration for any creative pursuit; or if romance is in the air, why not cool-off with a moonlight swim after a wholesome, candlelit dinner?

• Water-tank for gardens or drinking
