An immaculately presented residence set within the most exclusive of locations, this substantial, impeccably built abode of double-brick construction is reminiscent of an indulgent, 5-star holiday destination found along the rich, Mediterranean coastline.

With what may be the finest, north-facing aspect that follows a sweeping bend of Main River, this luxurious home features enormous alfresco terraces and elevated balconies, naturally cooled living and hotel-style accommodation areas, and has a resort-sized swimming pool, sandy beach entry, jetty and boat ramp.

Ultra-private, supremely quiet and maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout, you will love living here. Finished in vivid white, the rendered brick perimeter walls and black, hand-forged decorative wrought iron gates state the meticulous attention to detail given by the home’s owners of over twenty years.

A residence of immense quality and versatility, high, LED illuminated ceilings and smooth, tiled floors direct passage from the grand entrance, past the study and through to relaxed lounge seating areas and the more formal living, dining and entertaining spaces. Plantation shutters, louvre doors and the timber pole and branch-lined ceiling of two outdoor spaces suggest a relaxed style, not unlike that found in the Greek Islands or the South of France.

Timber and glass bifold doors offer a seamless transition from the interiors onto the sandstone terraces that surround the home. With minimal maintenance required, these carefree outdoor expanses welcome lazy, sun-lit weekend brunches, poolside barbeque dining and family celebrations, all whilst overlooking the blue waters beyond. A built-in outdoor kitchen houses a wine fridge, dishwasher, integrated barbeque and hot and cold taps.

White terracotta sconces and exterior bunker lights deliver a magical evening ambience, with the architectural landscape plantings adding colour and texture. With a walk-up bar, drinks and cocktails can be served from the internal bar room and rested on timber countertops. The breezy, galley-style kitchen features sumptuous, black granite surfaces, a servery to outside, quality stainless-steel appliances including a wide oven and a walk-in pantry providing exceptional storage.

The views through to the river catch your attention and calm your mind, with the design and intended placement of wide-opening windows, French doors and use of clear glass balustrades delivering unhindered panoramas. Guests, ageing parents or older teenagers will love the exclusivity of the ground floor accommodation suite with its luxury resort feel, walk-in-robe and large ensuite with bath.

All built-in bedrooms have enormous dimensions, boast air-conditioning and fans, and have unobstructed balcony outlooks over the pool and towards the river. Brand new carpets have been installed on the upper level which features a separate living and media area, and a study nook with hinterland views. There is an over-garage roof storage void that provides ready access and a skylight-enhanced hallway with a full-length linen robe.

A wide, double door opening leads into the master retreat, where your vision is drawn to the spectacular vistas ahead and to the towers of Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. This grand suite is incredibly luxurious, having a very large, tiled balcony, a walk-in dressing room and a light, fresh ensuite. Family members have the use of a fully renovated bathroom on this level, with a separate bathroom ideal for pool users and visiting guests located adjacent to ground floor living spaces.

The secure, large 911m2 allotment has a wide frontage and an intercom-activated visitor entry gate, with Number 8 considered by many to bring good fortune and wealth. Parking is provided for two cars in the oversized garage, with off-street parking for a further two vehicles.

With unrivalled ease of access to The Broadwater, this property presents a paradise to boat and jet ski owners. Unable to be repeated by Council, the sandy beach offers a landing for kayaks and paddleboards, with a pulley in place to winch watercraft onto a concreted boat ramp for dry storage. An elevated hardwood jetty over the water provides an opportunity to relax with a late afternoon drink and drop in a line.

Central to some of the best beaches and shopping locations on the Gold Coast, this refined residence is situated 5 minutes from Broadbeach, with the 400+ retail outlets of both Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre between a 5 and 8-minute drive away. Near to several premium golf courses, parks and recreation facilities, the property is ideally placed and rests in the state school catchment for Merrimac primary and high schools.
