Parkwood 2.2 Acres With Spectacular Ocean Views!
*Only property available With 240 degree views of the ocean and high-rises
*3 level home with spectacular views from each floor
*Only minutes to M1 , Beaches , Southport CBD , Shopping Centres
*Largest block of land currently for sale in Parkwood
This magnificent property sits at the top of the ridge on the little known acreage area of Parkwood.
( Inner-City acreage is now virtually unprocurable in Australia )
Over the years a fortunate few have secured their piece of this Paradise and properties here rarely come onto the open market.
Being situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac ensures that there is effectively no passing traffic.
With an area of 8863sm this is one of the largest blocks in Parkwood and currently the largest available for sale.
The highly desirable Rural Residential Zoning is a key factor for those wanting a more relaxed lifestyle while still living within a City context.
And with the designated Wildlife Corridor at your back door the feeling of spaciousness is enhanced even further.
You have only to walk out your back door and you are in the company of Koalas , Kangaroos , Wallabies , Owls , Black Cockatoos , King Parrots etc etc
( no need to drive for miles ...invite your friends to do bush walks literally from your own backyard )
With GCCC approval it is sufficiently sizeable for subdivision as it is now.
However acquiring 2.2 acres of town acreage now may prove to be an extremely astute land-banking investment in a few short years.
THE HOUSE
The house is a large 3 level dwelling with 4 bedrooms , 4 bathrooms , 4 toilets etc.
*large 2-pac kitchen with plenty of cupboard space
*family room or office
*games/rumpus room
*parents retreat
*heaps of storage areas
*5 separate balcony areas ...all with spectacular views
* from your balcony watch the New Year fireworks from Coolangatta to Paradise Point
( and the seasonal electrical storms provide spectacular viewing as the lightning flashes over Surfers Paradise )
THE LAND
From being rough and largely unusable when first acquired this property has been lovingly transformed by its present owner over the past 28 years.
There are now 6 quite distinct areas.
The gently sloping entrance lawn rises to a large level grassed area within which was planned to be the entertainment precinct.
A set of steps descending from the house level would take you down to the pool and BBQ area .
The soft grass would also make an ideal area for the kids to run, , kick a footy , play cricket etc
And all in total privacy and safety .
While much of the land has been "tamed" there still exists a substantial portion of natural bush.
All teaming with the aforementioned wildlife.
And so much land still available for your own particular interests.
( bee hives , chooks , propagating plants etc )
There have been over 1500 trees and shrubs planted over the years.
The Melaleucas ( fineleaf and broadleaf ) were sourced from the nursery which supplied the beautiful specimens along The Strand at Townsville.
They have been selectively mixed in with the Alexandra , Bangalow and Ponytail palms in various areas.
A row of Ficus Trees also gives total privacy from the neighbours on the Southern side.
Delicious fruit comes from the Sugar Bananas and Paw Paws.
And the Agapanthus , Monstera Deliciosa and native grasses have tied the soil together on the sloping areas and prevent erosion.
The tranquil little duck pond provides a welcome haven for our feathered friends.
A beautiful sight to watch each year the ducklings trail mum and dad duck into the pond for their first swim.
Being moist around the pond this area tends to add a little rain-forest effect where the fallen palm fronds are used and not wasted.
( nearly all natural residue from the various trees and plants is reused back into the property )
