$2,600,000
Largest Single level land holding on The Circle. Tropical gardens, a north-facing pool with an alfresco area, 5 huge bedrooms and huge living areas.
In discussions with the owners, we are again reminded that building a home is a very personal experience.
Read the story below about the brief to the architect and builders
When we were discussing this home with the owners, they informed us that they searched all over Sanctuary Cove in order to buy this land to build their dream house on.
The land is the largest block on this precinct, called Scotia Island and is a huge 1220m2.
They related how they briefed a number of architects and finally chose an architect with a vision. The architect was chosen because he was the only one that sited the front of the proposed house onto The Circle, rather than Riverside Drive. This occurred because he had a vision for a long frontage to The Circle, leaving the space for the pool, facing due north, and being enclosed by a privacy wall for the pool area and the outdoor entertaining area.
The owner's vision was for their master bedroom to be separated from the remaining living areas and the other 4 bedrooms.
It's only when we talk to owners, that we are reminded of the love and passion (and massive money) that is invested in creating a single-level family home with no compromises.
Here is what we consider one of the most unique features of this house –
8 acres of secure parklands fully maintained by Body Corporate that abuts the property. Neighbours are only on one side!
This park is fully maintained in impeccable condition by Body Corporate. It is surrounded by luxury homes and has walking paths and lighting. It is 100% safe because it is within the Sanctuary Cove gated and security serviced area.
The Gold Coast lifestyle is all about being able to live EASY but with an open feel to the outdoor casual living that this house freely offers.
When you come home, you drive into the garage, press the garage remote and walk straight into the house.
If the weather is hot as it is in summer, you walk straight into a cool house, if it is raining and cooler, you walk into a dry and warm house.
It’s all about EASY living with minimal expenses, but an amazing lifestyle.
