There is access between each living zone which is handy if extended family takes up residence in the other side but this could easily be locked off if you chose to rent out or Airbnb.

The oversized double garage has internal access and there are three crossovers including an in-out driveway. The pool is accessed from the generous master bedroom and is solar heated with a pair of swim jets for a daily workout

The solar panels and solar hot water mean cheap electricity or even a generous rebate each quarter.

Behind the gates are only twenty-four homes, including some magnificent waterfront properties, and it's a great place to raise a family with the comfort of the extra security.

A short walk or bike ride will get you to the Q Super Centre plus the new 42ha master planned community at The Lakes. Developers Sunland will create a $100 million leisure-lifestyle retail village, called The Lanes', featuring 17,135sq m of urban laneways incorporating cafe and dining experiences, a green market square and international-grade showrooms, connected to the broader community by a waterfront promenade and expansive green space.

For a coastal suburb, Mermaid Waters is fast developing an inner city feel, with new homes, townhouses and villa developments built on canals, man-made lakes and dry lots catering to a diverse range of residents.

Most of the older established homes have been bought extensively renovated or rebuilt because of the ideal location of the suburb.

Although city living often means a high-rise landscape and the hustle and bustle of traffic, Mermaid Waters has maintained a relaxed coastal lifestyle. While retirees enjoy the leisure of coastal living, couples, and families in particular, make up a large percentage of the residents attracted by easy access to modern amenities.

Mermaid Waters is conveniently located within 10 minutes of Miami State School, Miami High School and Merrimac High School, a hospital, the Q Super Centre, Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre.

Leisure activities such as cinemas, a mass of restaurants and the beach are close by, as are the Gold Coast, Burleigh, Robina and Surfers Paradise golf courses. For those who want a good education, the Bond University is also a short drive away.
