“The perfect place to escape, exhale, and
rejuvenate. A sleek yet soulful sanctuary.”
Three years back, Mick Fanning threw what
seemed to be an insane sum, three mill, on a joint off the beach
and near the Coolangatta flight path in what is usually
considered to be pretty down-at-heel Tugun.
The beach house at 5 Farrell Drive, Tugun, click if you want to examine more
photos of it, backs onto a bird sanctuary, has an
indoor skate ramp and a indoor-outdoor pool, and was a hot target
for buyers in an already over-heated market when Mick Fanning
bought it.
Three mill for a house a ten-minute walk from the beach and with
big silver birds flying over it? Five years ago, you’d be stretched
to catch a clueless interstate buyer willing to shovel a million
bucks in its direction.
Oh but the times do change in the land of the great property
bubble.
From the agent’s sale’s spiel,
This is it – the perfect place to escape, exhale, and
rejuvenate. A sleek yet soulful sanctuary, it’s where you can
disconnect from the chaos of daily life and reconnect with yourself
and your family in privacy.
Tucked away on a 1269m2 block, a wildlife wonderland with
turtles, swans, and pelicans awaits, complemented by 51m of creek
frontage. Bathed in endless natural light, it invites you to relax
in style or cook up a feast in the gourmet kitchen, complete with
designer appliances. Enjoy this tranquil outlook everyday from an
elevated alfresco deck, which seamlessly connects with an open-plan
kitchen, living, and dining area indoors. Sit and gaze at the
moonlight from your balcony while the kids enjoy the huge backyard.
You would be lucky to ever find another flat 1269m2 block this
close to the ocean, only made possible by a historical aquastiion
from a neighbour of addition land.
North-facing and endlessly captivating, contemporary
elegance and functionality seamlessly co-exist over one single
level. Custom windows ensure the lush and leafy outlook is only
ever a glance away too, while low-maintenance finishes, such as the
imported kiln dried panels, equals more time for family and fun.
You don’t have to go far either to indulge your playful side,with a
fully functional indoor half pipe here.
Earlier today, PropTrack data revealed the house is currently
the most viewed real estate listing in Queensland. And Fanning, who
has ten million bucks worth of real estate on the southern GC, is
hoping to ride what might be the last wave of the boom and slice
off a two-mill profit, less capital gains tax, stamp duty, realtor
fees and so on.
