Idyllically quiet and private living in the prestigious 'Sands Estate'.
Imagine, walking out through your back gate and within 2 minutes, you're on magnificent Fourmile Beach! This architecturally designed, pavilion style home could be a high income earner for holiday-letting or a sensational haven to live in permanently.
The crafted creation of two local multi award winning talents, architect Chris Van Dyke and builder Keith Tesch, this home was cleverly designed and built for this unique beachfront location. North facing and surrounded by rainforest and tropical vegetation, yet just metres from iconic Fourmile Beach. No road noise here, just local birdlife including kookaburras and sunbirds, water features, and the waves of the Coral Sea not so far away.
SE Asian, pavilion-style architecture is ideal for the tropics. Every space in the house opens on two sides, it breathes, it welcomes the sea breezes, it's just naturally cool. High pitch ceilings, large aperture timber and glass louvre windows, cool and contemporary finishes and features are instantly relaxing and make for a living style unique to this region. The colourful tropical vegetation outdoors, the huge pool and water features, are all welcomed indoors. Though fully airconditioned, it is seldom you'll need or want to close the house, because it works.
The Thai inspired entry is impressive, as pavers lead you across fish filled water-ponds, you can see beyond, as the water feature continues below the house, to the other side. Everything opens-up from there to the airy kitchen/dining/living pavilion. This then extends beyond the glass bi-folded doors, to a large, covered patio, it's an outdoor living room. Then to the inviting pool, it's a central feature of this home's design.
Cook like a pro with both electric and gas cooktops in the kitchen with everything! An enormous pantry, welcoming island bench, more than ample storage, soft-close drawers and doors, double-door fridge and all Miele appliances.
The King-size master suite is quite separate from the guest rooms. It's very private, with access out to the pool through wide glass sliding doors. It's lush, with a huge walk-in robe, a beautifully large en-suite, with shower, double vanities and spa-bath, all enjoying the outlook to the private courtyard and tropical landscaping through a wall of timber louvres.
All guest rooms are on the north facing wing of the house. The second and third bedrooms each have large robes, access to their shared courtyard and share a lavishly large bathroom.
A generous fourth bedroom/bunkroom/playroom/library/studio/office/ is the end space in this wing of the house. It too has double opening doors to a private courtyard. This is a particularly quiet and peaceful space and lends itself to a multitude of uses.
Storage space is not lacking in this house. The laundry has large, floor-to-ceiling lockable cabinetry and Miele washing machine and dryer. It's designed to handle large families or groups.
The double car garage is also larger than most and has a very handy separate shed/storage/room to the side, plus there's an extended area allowing for tools/bikes/stuff.
This home has been impeccably maintained and the vendor's love of the property is evident in the presentation.
Those in the know, know just how unique this location is. Literally 2 minutes to the beach, this one of only 2 properties in the estate with such unique access.
