Held by the same family for over half a century, it’s time for a new generation to appreciate the scale, serenity and seclusion on offer in one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after streets. Standing proudly on a 2,520m2 north-facing block that’s famed for its privacy, deep Main River waterfrontage and peaceful 6-knot setting, “El Paso” embodies 1960s architecture but with a nod to modern day living. Spanning two levels, gleaming Western Red Cedar finishes throughout combine with expanses of glass to allow ample natural light to cascade in, with multiple zones for entertaining. Come together in the open concept lounge and dining area, incorporating both an indoor and outdoor kitchen for seamless integrated living. For alfresco fun, enjoy the patio crowned by a dramatic 7.3m void, boasting expansive views across the pool, manicured lawns and landscaped gardens to the banks of Main River. Or for a touch of European-inspired ambience, host guests in the tranquil, paved terrace that feels reminiscent of a provincial Italian courtyard. Shaded by a mighty 90-year-old cottonwood tree, it embodies the peace and privacy this estate is renowned for.
Dual living quarters add to the appeal of this impressive compound, with a fully self-contained apartment on site. Featuring a separate entry, kitchenette, living area, bedroom, ensuite and patio, it meets the brief for stylish independent living. Complementing this in the main house are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spacious master suite that promises restful rejuvenation. Tucked away in its own wing, a water-view sitting room ensures you can unwind in seclusion, with a private balcony, walk-in robe and an elegant ensuite.
