8065 Riverside Drive, Sanctuary Cove, Qld 4212

This stunning Palm Springs-style house sets a new benchmark for leisurely waterfront living inside the exclusive gated community of Sanctuary Cove.

The property faces north-west with 15.5m* of frontage to a wide waterway and takes in a picturesque outlook over Coomera River to the lush landscape of Coomera Island.

The owners have elevated the home’s allure with a recent renovation inspired by their time in sunny California. Engineered oak flooring, wallpaper, plantation shutters and luxe gold fixtures are just some of the on-trend inclusions featured throughout the stylish and inviting interior.

The peaceful top floor is dedicated to a deluxe master suite where stand-out features include a circular bathtub, sauna and private waterfront balcony. On the ground floor, three guest bedrooms and a study nook accompany the open and airy kitchen, dining and living areas.

From here, bifold doors retract for refreshing breezes and effortless flow to a poolside patio, where a mature tree provides the perfect amount of shade and privacy. Spacious with a built-in barbecue, it is a well-appointed setting for alfresco dining by the water’s edge.

An 8m* pontoon ensures easy access to open ocean cruising, while an oversized double garage houses two cars and a golf buggy. The residence’s secure position provides peace of mind for those desiring either a permanent residence or lock-and-leave holiday home.
