A letter from the owner

“Dear Future Homeowner,

We never imagined it would be so hard to say goodbye. This home has been our peaceful retreat, our joyful gathering place, and our quiet escape from the world for over nine years-and now, it’s time to pass it on to someone who will love it just as much as we have.

When we first discovered this hidden gem nestled amongst the gum trees, we were immediately drawn to the serenity. The sound of birdsong each morning, the way the light dances through the north-facing windows, and the sight of the uninterrupted views across the Nerang river… it felt like home the moment we arrived.

Our highset, solid three-bedroom home offers more than just comfort-it offers connection. Connection to nature, with almost 2 acres of terraced gardens, native shrubs, fruit trees, orchids, and beautiful gardens that are fed by unlimited river access water from our 20,000-litre tank (no water bills here!). We’ve watched the seasons change from the balcony, wine in hand, and enjoyed countless evenings around the wood fire in the timber-floored living room.

The renovated bathroom has been a dream, and our favourite room-the second lounge-has truly been the heart of our home. With a built-in bar and fireplace, this indoor-outdoor space has hosted everything from cozy winter nights to lively Christmas lunches. It’s enclosed enough to stay warm in winter and airy enough to keep cool through the summer. If we could pack it up and take it with us, we would.

We’ve made thoughtful improvements over the years: a new kitchen, extended all the decking, and even pushed out a wall to create a generous walk-in robe in the master bedroom. And every change was made with love and with the view in mind.

Downstairs is where this property really shines with flexibility. It includes a single lock-up garage, laundry with a separate toilet, a large workshop, and an extra room that we’ve used as an office or fourth bedroom. With minimal effort-just add a sink and a small kitchenette-this entire downstairs space could be transformed into a fully functional dual-living setup. It’s ideal for teenage kids wanting their own space, elderly parents needing independence with support nearby, or even for rental income.

The property is a dream for those who love to tinker or need room for their toys: there’s ample space for boats, cars, caravans, and all the “man cave” projects you can imagine. With only four neighbours in the entire street, peace and privacy are part of daily life., yet you’re not isolated. You’re just minutes from Nerang, Robina Shopping Centre, great schools, the M1, and public transport-giving you the best of both worlds: tranquil bushland living with city convenience close by.

We were also drawn to the charm of the home’s history. It was relocated from Canungra over 50 years ago, giving it sturdy character and warmth. It’s north-facing, with windows and doors in every room, and is fully insulated in walls and ceilings, so we’ve never needed air conditioning. Cool breezes flow through in summer, and the house fills with golden sunshine in winter. Even the undercover clothesline is a simple but thoughtful touch-no more mad dashes to beat the rain!

What we’ll miss most is the peace, the different nooks and zones throughout the property where everyone can find a moment of quiet, peaceful place to unwind and we will certainly miss the beautiful memories we’ve made with friends and family.

If we could take anything with us, it would be that back entertaining room-it’s where we’ve laughed, celebrated, and simply lived. But it’s time for someone new to fall in love here, just like we did.

We truly hope this special place brings you as much happiness as it’s brought us.

Warm regards,
The Current Owners”
