Illinbah Lot 7 Illinbah Road

Coomera River Holding with Approved Dwelling Plans

Set beside the Coomera River within the peaceful Illinbah Valley, this approximately 1.11-hectare holding presents a rare opportunity to create a private country retreat in one of the Scenic Rim's most picturesque rural settings.

Canungra is approximately 10–15 minutes away, while Nerang and the broader Gold Coast remain within comfortable driving distance, offering an appealing balance between genuine country living and convenient access to the coast.

Importantly, much of the preliminary planning process has already been undertaken. Scenic Rim Regional Council has issued a Development Permit for a Dwelling House, supported by Council-approved dwelling plans, together with a separate Plumbing and Drainage Permit incorporating an approved on-site wastewater treatment system and effluent disposal area.

The approved plans propose a two-bedroom country residence comprising approximately 87.67m² of internal floor area, an approximately 27.83m² deck and approximately 44.34m² carport, with a total planned area of approximately 162.24m².

The existing approval provides buyers with an established pathway towards creating a residence on the property, while purchasers may also investigate amendments or alternative designs, including a larger three or four-bedroom configuration, subject to all relevant approvals.

The approval includes conditions relating to flood levels, access, stormwater, water storage and wastewater treatment, including a requirement for the approved dwelling to achieve a minimum habitable floor level 500mm above the Defined Flood Level.

The Plumbing and Drainage Permit was issued on 5 August 2026 with a two-year currency period, while the Development Permit carries a six-year currency period from the date the approval took effect. A separate building approval will still be required before construction can commence.

For those seeking land on the Coomera River without beginning entirely from a blank canvas, Lot 7 Illinbah Road offers a compelling combination of natural beauty, accessibility and an established approval pathway - creating the opportunity to progress the approved residence or shape a country home of your own.
