Located in the highly sought after enclave of Mermaid Waters, this spectacular Gold Coast custom home by Capital Luxury Residences recently received a Property Guru award for Best Waterfront Residence in Australia.

Offering the ultimate luxury living experience, the home is situated on a generous site with an envious 30m river frontage opening onto a canal, and includes over 890sqm of luxury living which has been cleverly designed to take full advantage of the surrounds and maximise the breathtaking water views out to the Gold Coast city skyline.

For the homeowners’, the primary objectives were to create a space where their children could visit for years to come that would evoke the ambiance of a luxury hotel. Despite having to overcome some obstacles, such as the council requirement to allocate a portion of land to act as flood storage, and the need to drill an additional 12 meters deeper than anticipated to get past rock to create the stability piers, CLR have created a stunning contemporary home that defines luxury family living. The inspired U-shaped floorplan allows residents to enjoy panoramic river and Gold Coast skyline views from all angles of the home, placing emphasis on connection between interior and exterior living spaces, whilst the exquisite material selection and finishes well and truly fulfil the homeowners desire for a luxurious hotel experience within their own home.

In the kitchen, scalloped (reverse flute) cabinetry, mimics the rolling water of the river and ocean surrounding the home as a reference to the stunning coastal location, complement by a custom designed and fabricated curved brass rangehood, custom brass tapware and brass details on the curved legs of the island bench, adding refined elegance and a touch of glamour to the open plan living space.

Creating a stunning focal-point at the centre of the home, visible from both the rear and front of the property through expansive panes of glass, is a striking sculptural staircase with Marquina black marble treads. Above the staircase, a 4m wide skylight adds even more wow factor to this spectacular architectural feature which also ensures the home is flooded with natural light.

Marble has been used extensively in all the bathrooms including custom Cianna grey marble tiles on the floors and walls and Marquina black marble highlighting the shower areas.

Incorporating 6 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms and multiple communal spaces, this luxurious modern residence easily accommodates family gatherings whilst ensuring everyone can also retreat in privacy. The extensive outdoor areas, including the alfresco dining area, sunken fire-pit with built-in seating, poolside lounging area, ¼ basketball court, grassy space, private beach area, and 12m pontoon, further enhance the entertainment possibilities and create a luxury resort-like atmosphere. All in all a deserving winner of Australia’s Best Waterfront Residence.
