Walking out the front door past 4 houses brings you to kilometers of green shady parklands along the Mooloola River with fishing, forest, picnic tables, free BBQ’s and amenities, an excellent cafe, walking/cycling paths, coves and lagoons for swimming and breathtaking views.

On the second floor, step from the living/dining area opening onto the integrated deck and pool terraces and continue out the back gate to access 15 km of pristine surf beaches stretching from the point with its cliffs, lighthouse and wave-cut platforms to the rocky headlands of Caloundra.

The top floor is the retreat with expansive master bedroom, study, ensuite and walk in robe. This can be open to the sea breezes, views and sounds of the surf or completely shade and temperature controlled.
