 Welcome to an exceptional Gold Coast estate where luxury, privacy, scale and multigenerational living come together in perfect harmony.

Prominently positioned within one of Benowa's most tightly held and prestigious residential enclaves, this extraordinary estate occupies an expansive 4,040m² parcel of land backing directly onto the tranquil Botanic Gardens. Combining an enviable position with extraordinary privacy, generous proportions and resort-style amenities, the property presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial family estate in one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after locations.

Set within an established and highly regarded residential precinct, the home enjoys a wonderful balance of prestige and convenience. Its prominent position places you within easy reach of leading schools, medical facilities, cafes, shopping, dining and the Gold Coast's major lifestyle destinations, while the property's elevated sense of privacy and direct connection to the Botanic Gardens create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the everyday.

More than a luxurious residence, this is a private family compound designed for generations to live together without compromising independence, privacy or lifestyle.

A Home Designed Around Family

The thoughtful single-level floorplan has been created to accommodate a large and diverse household with ease. Multiple bedroom suites, private living areas, separate accommodation and expansive communal spaces provide exceptional flexibility for families at every stage of life.

Whether you're looking to bring grandparents closer to the family, provide independent accommodation for adult children, accommodate a nanny or welcome extended family and long-term guests, this property offers a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.

Main Residence

• Four grand bedrooms, each individually ensuited and featuring walk-in robes, providing every member of the household with a private sanctuary.
• Opulent master suite featuring a spectacular ensuite with triple-head walk-in shower, freestanding bath, dedicated makeup station and oversized walk-in robe.
• Private parents' lounge, adjoining the master suite and overlooking the tennis court — an ideal retreat for quiet mornings or winding down at the end of the day.
• Separate executive office / fifth bedroom, complete with its own ensuite and private external entrance. Perfect for a home-based professional, older child, guest or family member seeking additional independence.
• Detached one-bedroom self-contained granny flat, providing an exceptional solution for grandparents, adult children, a nanny or extended family. Completely separate from the main residence, it offers genuine independence while remaining close enough to be part of everyday family life.

The result is a home where multiple generations can share the same estate while enjoying their own private spaces and routines.

Entertaining, Gathering & Everyday Family Life

At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living environment designed for both relaxed family life and impressive entertaining.

Natural light, high ceilings and exceptional cross-flow ventilation create an inviting sense of space, while a gas log fireplace provides warmth and atmosphere during cooler evenings.

The gourmet kitchen forms the central gathering point, equipped with premium Miele appliances, generous stone benchtops, a substantial butler's pantry and a large wine cellar. There is ample room for multiple generations to cook, gather and share meals together, while the surrounding living spaces allow everyone to spread out comfortably.

A private cinema room provides another dedicated space for family movie nights, sporting events or relaxed evenings away from the main living areas.

High ceilings ranging from 2.7m to 3.2m, zoned ducted air-conditioning and carefully considered separation between living and sleeping zones ensure comfort throughout the seasons.

Your Own Private Resort

Beyond the interiors, the property truly comes alive outdoors.

The expansive grounds have been transformed into a private resort-style sanctuary, offering an extraordinary range of spaces where different generations can gather, play, relax or simply retreat.

At the centre is a stunning heated swimming pool and spa, surrounded by manicured lawns, lush gardens, a sunken firepit and expansive outdoor entertaining areas.

The fully equipped outdoor kitchen features a built-in BBQ, refrigerator, television and integrated sound, creating an effortless setting for everything from relaxed family lunches to large celebrations.

An adjoining dining pavilion / studio with its own full bathroom adds another layer of flexibility. Depending on your family's needs, it could function as a poolhouse, gym, creative studio, games room, guest retreat or wellness space.

A Lifestyle for Every Generation

Few properties offer such a diverse range of recreational opportunities within their own grounds.

The championship-sized, floodlit tennis court provides a private sporting facility for family competitions, afternoon games and evening entertainment, while the expansive lawns offer plenty of room for children and grandchildren to play.

The gardens provide numerous secluded pockets for reading, relaxing or enjoying a quiet coffee, while the direct gated access to the Botanic Gardens further enhances the property's connection to nature and provides an exceptional extension to the family's outdoor lifestyle.

For families who value both connection and privacy, the estate provides something increasingly precious: the ability to live together while maintaining independence.

A Prominent Position with Unrivalled Convenience

One of the property's defining attributes is its prominent and highly desirable Benowa position.

Despite its substantial landholding and private, resort-like atmosphere, the estate is remarkably close to the area's key amenities. Local cafes, schools and the private hospital are all within an easy 10-minute walk, making everyday life exceptionally convenient for families of all generations.

The location is particularly appealing for multigenerational households. Younger family members can enjoy easy access to schools, recreation and entertainment, while older generations benefit from nearby medical services, cafes and essential amenities without having to compromise on privacy or space.

The Gold Coast Turf Club is approximately 10 minutes by car, while the golden beaches of Surfers Paradise are approximately 12 minutes away. Shopping, dining, major transport connections and the broader Gold Coast lifestyle are all within easy reach.

This is the rare combination of a prominent address, expansive private grounds and exceptional accessibility — allowing residents to enjoy the best of Benowa while retreating to a peaceful botanical sanctuary at the end of the day.

Practicality Meets Luxury

Despite its resort-style character, this is a home designed for real family life.

The estate includes:

• Massive four-car lock-up garage with security access and EV pre-wiring.
• Three-car covered carport plus additional secure off-street parking.
• Extensive storage, including two oversized linen cupboards and substantial laundry storage.
• Separate powder room.

These features make the estate particularly well suited to a large family where multiple generations, vehicles, hobbies and differing lifestyles need to coexist effortlessly.

A Rare Family Legacy Property

There is a wonderful sense of permanence about this estate. It is the kind of property where grandparents can be close to their grandchildren, adult children can enjoy independence, parents can maintain their own private retreat, and the entire family can come together whenever they choose.

Birthdays can spill onto the lawns. Sunday lunches can move seamlessly from the kitchen to the outdoor pavilion. Grandchildren can enjoy the pool and tennis court, while grandparents retreat to their own private accommodation. Adult children can have their own space without being disconnected from the family.

And when guests arrive, there is ample room to welcome them without compromising the privacy of those who call the estate home.
