A secret garden in a stunning one-of-a-kind paradise

It's hard to imagine this private and exclusive 5-acre estate is only a 20-minute drive to Broadbeach central. A realm of opportunities awaits the next owners to live, create and play host in the masterfully designed main house, stunning gardens and assorted separate guesthouses.<br/><br/>Fringed by hundreds of native trees, the huge freshwater lake never runs dry and provides breathtaking views and irrigation for the gardens. Be in awe of the abundance of wildlife including turtles and incredible birdlife such as Kingfishers and Whip Birds. The divine summer scent from the floating carpets of waterlilies attended by thousands of dragonflies and native bees is to behold.<br/><br/>The natural feel of the swimming pool was designed to blend seamlessly with the lake and flow onto the native gardens. Poolside timber pathways and decks connect the house to the outdoors and invite residents and visitors to sit and gaze or to wander and explore. <br/><br/>The main house is a modern open-living design and is unique in its style. The brief for the build was to create a home that deserved to sit in this special environment and enjoy unobstructed views across the lake and to the gardens beyond. The views are equally as stunning at night with the extended network of garden lighting making the most enchanting evening fairyland. All this and not a neighbour's house in sight.<br/><br/>Delight in exploring your enchanted gardens – designed to be easy care. The grounds feature a network of ponds, creeks and waterfalls with countless tropical and native plants thoughtfully planted in a purpose-built design that is 14 years in the making.
