Semi-Rural Lakefront Beauty
It's not everyday you come across a secluded rural lifestyle property with its very own lake but that is exactly what you will find at 173 Country Crescent, Nerang.
Situated on a stunning 3.1 acre bush block on a tree-lined street on the outskirts of Nerang, this hidden hideaway is the perfect family retreat.
Journey down the winding driveway past established gardens to where a big stately home stands proudly with its private waterfront views. With four-bedrooms, three bathrooms, a media room and pool, there is plenty of space for the whole family to spread out and make themselves at home.
Harcourts Coastal Prestige director of lifestyle property, Katrina Walsh says the property offers an idyllic family hideaway close to all the amazing amenities the Gold Coast has to offer.
"This picturesque property provides the perfect bush setting to raise a family with plenty of grassy expanses to run around on and of course the lake, which is ideal for exploring, bird watching, and kayaking," says Ms Walsh.
"Families will love that this property is so accessible to everything the Gold Coast has to offer including top quality private and public schools, sporting facilities, and shopping centres yet the ambiance provided by the waterfront location creates a tranquil atmosphere that makes you feel like you are worlds away from it all.
"While the property is well established with everything you need including beautiful gardens and a pool, the sheer amount of space provides the opportunity for vegetable gardens, perhaps a chook pen, fruit trees or whatever it is that makes up your semi-rural dream."
Beautifully positioned to enjoy the very best of its waterfront location, the abode has expansive entertaining areas making the front of the homestead accessible from various entry points throughout the home.
Here you can take your pick from a number of secluded vantage points depending on your mood and company. Whether you are enjoying a quiet cup of tea as the sun rises behind the eucalyptus trees or you're planning a dinner party on the patio with the moon's silvery glow on the lake as your backdrop, all is possible here at your private bush retreat.
The leafy location provides plenty of natural entertainment too with a host of wildlife frequenting the property.
"Avid bird watchers and nature lovers alike will feel right at home here with an abundance of wildlife visiting the glistening lake to enjoy the fresh water and surrounding gardens," says Ms Walsh.
"You can expect to see pelicans, spoonbills, magpie geese, cranes, and myriad other species along with a permanent population of whistling ducks, wood ducks, pacific black ducks and cormorants plus deer have also been known to frequent the property to enjoy the water lilies."
Grassy flats lead to the lake edge, perfect for meandering around in the early hours of the morning after coffee on the deck or for the kids to explore as their own private playground. Operating effectively as its own ecosystem, the lake does not require any maintenance or upkeep; it is just there to be enjoyed.
The property includes a double carport, and a double garage connected to the home along with a large shed, ideal for housing a boat, jet ski or vehicles.
Alternatively, this shed could be transformed into a home office or hobby space thanks to its proximity to the home and its privileged position overlooking the lake. There is a pad located beside the shed which allows for an expansion along with a second pad located above the shed which could accommodate an additional storage space.
For convenience the home is serviced by town water with scope for an irrigation system to use for the gardens utilising water from the lake.
The home is steel framed and fully equipped with a security system.
Located just five minutes from the M1 with access to the Gold Coast's world class beaches, shopping and dining precincts, schools, universities, and amenities, this rural property could be your family's private lakeside retreat.
