Waterfront Block Begging for Creative Design

Don’t be misled by the address. There’s no C or A, making it Coonawarra (like the wine region). Koonwarra Parade is much more sophisticated!

Number 36 is a striking 547m2 block which stretches down to the water’s edge and is framed by a wide sandy beach. From the street, it looks a long way down, but the gentle meandering drive is an easy traverse and demonstrates what vehicular access to the block could be like.

However, if you look at the neighbouring blocks, you can get an idea of what’s possible. But don’t settle for ordinary. This site needs a creative design, sympathetic to the elements and topography of this unique part of the island.

Facing East, toward North Stradbroke Island, you have wide water views across your private beach, overlooking the low mangroves and past the boats dancing on the bay. Imagine, multiple terraces cascading down the slope, with inter-connecting walkways linking land to water?

Picture yourself on Summer’s day sitting on the beach sifting shells, or wrapped in a soft blanket on a chilly afternoon watching life on the waterways, from your sunny deck. Either way, the view and position takes the lead.

There’s already a clearing for a suggested building pad; a shed with water tanks on standby; and a track leading you through the mangroves, where you can easily store and launch your tinny or kayak, on the high-tide.

The site suits a split-level home to take advantage of the flat area by the water, for all-year outdoor entertaining. Rare, as most waterfronts are high-set and all living takes place upstairs.

The private setting is mostly cleared, with a few saplings and one large tree by the water for permanent shade from the natural beach umbrella. The block is not for the faint-hearted or those looking for an easy kit-home build.

This land is special and will become your sacred space. Your entry to nirvana.
