5001 Emerald Island Drive

Carrara QLD 4211

Grand in both style and scale, this exceptional French Chateau inspired home has been the head turner and talking point of the entire Emerald Lakes - The Islands community.

By far, the best home in the Estate and one of the most iconic homes on the Gold Coast, 5001 Emerald Island Drive is being offered to the market to sell to a very lucky 2nd owner, capturing a golden opportunity. The home has served as a beautiful place for the current owners to raise a family and enjoy the best that life has to offer and now regrettably it is time for them to downsize.

Positioned on the only North-facing double block in the estate, all 1,446sqm of land has been utilised to provide and support the best quality lifestyle with space, convenience and style with limitless charm. With over 39sqm water frontage and views both of Surfers Paradise and the famous French Quarter of Emerald Lakes, there is a timeless amount of peace and tranquillity to look forward to.

The property itself boasts a grand total of 981sqm (105 squares) of luxury elegant living and is spread across two levels including fully self-contained guest accomodation on the ground level interconnected by an 8-car garage. A master suite with hotel luxury ensuite and large dressing room and an additional 4 bedrooms all with walk-in robes and ensuites occupy the upper level, leaving the lower level for pure entertaining in formal and informal zones, including a large cinema with wet bar, a spectacular large gourmet kitchen and home office with it's own bathroom.
The house was architecturally inspired by the region of France, with architectural features such as the exquisite dome sky light that fills the entrance with natural light, sourced from a boutique company in Sydney.

The grand staircase with custom made, wrought iron balustrade welcomes you on arrival giving you the feeling that you have arrived to somewhere special and romantic, a place you want to call home, where the memories of your children's graduation photos and wedding pictures will take place.

A row of stunning pink Bougainvillea along the back terrace has you feeling like you've escaped reality with the fragrance lingering on late summer evenings, enticing you to fully utilise the fantastic outdoor kitchen space and alfresco area featuring a wood fire pizza oven that would make any family pizza night that little more special.

A pool with a large sun shelf is a standout feature in the outdoor area, perfect for teaching young children to swim or just lazing around enjoying the afternoon sun. Along with a SPA pool with gas heating for those cooler months of the year, this enables you to utilise the space all year-round.
