369 Benowa Road, Benowa Waters, Qld 4217 - More Details
Offers over $1,950,000
Offered to the market for the first time in 42 years, this tightly held lakefront residence presents an incredibly rare opportunity in the heart of Benowa.
Set on an impressive 840m² lakefront block and offering approximately 245m² of internal living, the home has been lovingly held by the same owners for more than four decades and remains largely in its original condition.
Solidly constructed with a steel frame, this is a genuine renovator's dream. Move straight in and enjoy, renovate over time, retain as an investment, explore short-term accommodation potential, or completely transform the home to take full advantage of its exceptional waterfront position.
With generous proportions, multiple living areas, three large bedrooms and beautiful views across the lake towards the Gold Coast Hinterland, the foundations are already here to create something truly special.
SPACIOUS TWO-LEVEL LAKEFRONT LIVING
The home is cleverly arranged over two substantial levels, with the ground floor dedicated to living, entertaining and everyday functionality.
At the heart of the home is a generous kitchen with adjoining bar, connecting the separate living, dining and family areas and providing views towards the pool, gardens and lake beyond.
The ground floor offers an impressive amount of space, including a 4.2m x 4.6m living room, 4.1m x 4.0m dining area and 3.6m x 4.8m family room, providing multiple zones for families to spread out, entertain or reconfigure as part of a future renovation.
A large separate laundry, additional powder room and excellent storage further enhance the practicality of the lower level, while the substantial 6.0m x 7.0m double garage provides secure parking and additional space.
Step outside to the covered alfresco entertaining area, overlooking the established gardens and private swimming pool before opening to the property's beautiful lakefront setting.
With its western aspect, this is where the home truly comes alive in the afternoon – capturing spectacular sunsets across the water and towards the Gold Coast Hinterland.
THREE GENEROUS BEDROOMS UPSTAIRS
All three bedrooms are privately positioned on the upper level and enjoy their own unique outlooks across the surrounding water and landscape.
The oversized master suite measures approximately 4.4m x 5.0m and includes its own walk-in robe and private ensuite.
The remaining bedrooms are also impressively proportioned, both with built-in robes and serviced by the main bathroom.
It's an incredibly functional existing floorplan with enormous potential to modernise while retaining the home's generous proportions.

Despite its peaceful waterfront setting, one of the property's greatest advantages is just how central it is.
Pindara Private Hospital and the surrounding Benowa medical precinct are within walking distance, placing specialist medical services and healthcare facilities exceptionally close to home. For medical professionals, families and downsizers alike, the convenience of having one of the Gold Coast's major private hospitals nearby is a significant advantage.
Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre is only metres away, putting groceries, cafés, dining and everyday conveniences within easy reach.
The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens are also within walking distance, offering expansive parklands, walking tracks and green space just moments from home.
Walk to Pindara. Walk to Benowa Gardens. Walk to the Botanic Gardens. Then come home to your own private lakefront retreat.
AN AREA WITH AN EXCITING FUTURE
The surrounding Benowa precinct is entering an exciting new chapter, with substantial investment and redevelopment planned and underway in the immediate area.
The Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre precinct is proposed for significant transformation, with plans for a new mixed-use urban village incorporating residential living alongside an expanded supermarket, specialty retail, dining, health and wellness, office and medical uses and improved pedestrian areas.
Further investment and redevelopment throughout the surrounding Benowa and Ashmore precinct, including activity around the former Ashmore Steak and Seafood site, adds to the ongoing evolution of this already highly established central Gold Coast location.
For the next owner of 369 Benowa Road, it represents an opportunity to secure a substantial lakefront holding while the surrounding precinct continues to evolve.
