If your tastes turn to single level living or concrete and brick, read no further! This is not the land you want! But, if you dream of a multi level home of timber and glass rising up deep into wild rainforest with wonderful decks and floor to ceiling windows that look out between the openings in the rainforest to superb northern Gold Coast views and the sun rising out of the ocean, then this block is going to really excite your imaginative flair!

This land is the very last block on the high side of Carey Parade with a huge old Strangler Fig on the Council part of its front boundary. It is quite steep and covered in big boulders as well as the primeval rainforest which continues into gazetted park on the rear and northern side boundaries. If at first you think this land is too challenging to build on, stop and think again. Take a look at the adjoining neighbour’s house and you will see that it was just as challenging a site. In fact, if you want some inspiration for building, just take a look at that house which we have listed for sale here on our web site: http://www.lanerealty.com.au/lr11668.html

Martyn Haynes, the local builder who created that home as his own family home years ago, still lives here on the Mountain and would certainly be very helpful to anyone building on this site, even if he didn’t feel like doing the full building contract. Yes, it is only suitable for full pole home or a pole platform construction, but those are the very homes that allow you to make the most of this protected north-east sloping block that gets the morning winter sun and the cooling afternoon sea breezes. Think of covered verandahs and open decks with gigantic palms rising through them. Think of sky windows for night time star gazing too! Listen to the birds from a.m. to p.m. as well all through the night. The birds sing here for 24 hours, the only difference is the type of song between daylight and dark.

Now take off your blinkers and think just what a gloriously unique and exciting home you could build on this land where gardening can be left almost entirely to nature!
