Come to Springbrook where the mountain air is fresh, you can enjoy absolute privacy and be surrounded by unspoilt nature!
This gorgeous two storey cottage enjoys a virtually flat block of usable land (almost an acre and a quarter) and is neighboured on one side by a nature reserve which provides a natural habitat for our native koalas and wildlife!
The home is set a good 90m off the main Springbrook Road, giving you privacy while you are surrounded by your own mature trees, tropical foliage, colourful plants and a selection of citrus and banana trees and port wine magnolias. The property has the benefit of underground power and a dam in the rear garden.
As you enter via your private driveway, you pass your large tradesman double garage/shed which has light and power and also a double carport out the front. The cottage itself has a pretty front porch and a huge rear deck for entertaining.
The entrance hallway leads you into a lounge room which enjoys a combustion fireplace, air conditioning and a fabulous vaulted ceiling. The extensive kitchen offers ample storage and bench space, dishwasher, large walk in pantry, a light and bright family/dining area and a bay window with bench seating. There is a ground floor toilet and laundry room and a 3rd bedroom. Up the timber staircase can be found a master bedroom with air conditioning, a private balcony and built in robes. There is a second bedroom on this floor with built in robe and also a family bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower unit.
One of the cheapest places to live on the Gold Coast with low Council Rates and no Council water charges and plenty of firewood in the garden to heat your home for free! Where else can you buy a 2 storey cottage on 5,165m2 (1.29 acres) of flat usable land for this price?!
Please check out our virtual floorplan online to fully appreciate everything this home has to offer. Open home times for Kookaburra cottage will be advertised online or please call Helen to organise your private inspection. We look forward to seeing you on the mountain!
