Escape city life in a hilltop retreat

FEEL a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life in this Burleigh Heads showstopper. The three-level house fronts popular Tallebudgera Creek and has been pulling quite the crowd, according to marketing agent Emma Gregory of Amir Prestige Group.

“The interest has been really great,” Ms Gregory said.

“A lot has come from interstate buyers and people who are looking to make the move to the Gold Coast.”

The four-bedroom residence, which is unassuming from the street, has been built into the hillside of Ocean Pde.

The position on Burleigh’s headland is one of the most sought-after in the suburb and is only moments away from the cafe and restaurant scene of well-known James St and equally convenient to the beachfront.

“It’s in a really exclusive spot, you do really feel like you’re in your own world surrounded by trees and bird life,” Ms Gregory said.

“You also have access to the creek, so if you’re into water sports – stand up paddle boarding or kayaking – it really offers that water lifestyle.”

The floor plan is spread over three levels and has been designed with modern living in mind.

Sprawling living spaces and high ceilings create a sense of space on the ground floor while large windows and sliding doors allow the lush greenery and creek views to be appreciated.

The kitchen, dining and living are on the ground floor and flow seamlessly out to an alfresco area and plunge pool.

On the middle level, there are three bedrooms, one with an ensuite, while on the uppermost level is where you will find the master bedroom suite, which takes in water views. A quiet study nook completes the space.

The home also features a fireplace, frees-tanding bath and walk-in pantry.

“The home is modern and contemporary with grey and neutral tones throughout,” Ms Gregory said.
