Braeside Homestead consists of a fully restored original farmhouse built 115 years ago, a timber chapel and a separate two level building with a top level office or guest accommodation and lower level workshop, garage and storage.
The property is fenced on three sides and has 150 metres of wide creek frontage, surrounded by ancient trees, landscaped gardens and lawns. Wildlife and fauna abound at a retreat never to be repeated in the heart of our city.
The House - a 3 bedroom farmhouse has been restored and features polished hardwood floors and VJ walls that were floated down the Nerang River before being milled on site and used in the home when it was built in 1897. From the relaxing verandah entrance you enter formal and informal areas for dining and relaxing. The North East aspect allows for the perfect breeze. The house has ducted air-conditioning and modern kitchen with dishwasher.
Office/Retreat - The 2 level retreat is currently used as the office and features the same beautiful timber floors and is fully air-conditioned.
Chapel - The former chapel is also fully air-conditioned and is currently being used as a music/games room but could be utilised for more house accommodation or office space.
Future Development - The site is situated in the Guragunbah Local Plan Area (LAP) Conceptual Land Use. Any type of development would require an impact assessment application to the Gold Coast City Council. A Town Planners recommendation is that the site could be considered for units or an aged care facility.
Braeside homestead consists of an elevated area together with a lower level open area - total 7177 square metres. Town water is connected. A large underground rainwater tank exists, as does a pump driven spring bore with unlimited pure spring water. Primary Schools and bus service nearby. Walk to two world class golf courses and ten minutes drive to the beach.
