This spacious hinterland property nestled on approx. 4.89 acres high in the Currumbin Valley has been sold by Ed Cherry of Sophie Carter Exclusive Properties.

Known as ‘Maia’, the peaceful country home was designed by Queensland Architect Frank Raunik of Raunik Design Group and was sold for $1.55 million, within the original quoted range.

Speaking to WILLIAMS MEDIA, Ed Cherry said “There was a lot of interest from people seeking a lifestyle acreage property. The location on the Queensland border was attractive to interstate buyers and there was also enquiry from residents in the Byron Bay hinterland looking to escape the congestion that the popularity of Byron Bay has brought.”

Though private and serene, the property is conveniently located 25 minutes from the Gold Coast International airport, 18 minutes from local shopping centres and 22 minutes from the Currumbin beachfront.

'Maia' was purchased by an interstate couple with grown up children who had been searching in the Currumbin/Tweed hinterland for over 12 months and had missed out on a few properties. 

“They decided that this was definitely the right time so sold their home in coastal Batemans Bay and drove north in a Winnebago, determined to find their ‘Tree-change’ home,” Ed explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA. “They wanted a 7-14 day settlement which suited the vendors as their new home build had been completed and they were ready to move.” 

The home comprises 5 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with extensive covered external spaces that capture the view and cool breezes. In addition, multiple living areas are spread over the two levels and the current flexible design layout allows scope to create a 2-bedroom self-contained granny flat downstairs.

The vibrant ecosystem enables established citrus trees, macadamia trees, lemon myrtle, coffee, mango & olive trees to flourish. A modern chook pen resides not far from the man-made dams where you'll find multiple established veggie gardens.

Ed told WILLIAMS MEDIA they have experienced a rise in sales, with a spike in high end off-market sales as increasing numbers of buyers look for lifestyle properties in both coastal and hinterland acreage.

“Buyers are more proactive with purchasing as the current situation has resulted in a feeling that ‘the time is right…now’ and people have become more comfortable in technology and what can be done remotely. They are realising that they are able to now distance themselves more so from the capital cities,” Ed told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

“As well as this, people who already own holiday homes are using them more and are deciding to upgrade and upsize.”
