Rare position · remarkable build

A rare build. A rare position. A price that changes the equation.

Built by a highly capable Gold Coast team, 23 Main View Drive is not a conventional island build. A steel frame, soaring five-metre ceiling through the main living zone, Blum cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling give the home a level of specification that is immediately apparent.

Then there is the position: tightly held, north-facing and elevated toward North Stradbroke Island. The broad covered deck makes the water view part of everyday life, while the high-clearance lower level creates genuine four-car capacity and room for the toys that belong with an island lifestyle.

Light · height · space

Open living, naturally.

A dramatic five-metre ceiling, timber-look flooring and wide glazing give the central living space genuine architectural volume. Slide the doors open and the home flows straight onto the deck and bay breeze.

The heart of the home

Simple, warm, functional.

A contemporary kitchen with quality appliances, extensive Blum cabinetry, a large pantry and integrated study nook combines clean design with premium everyday function.

Property highlights

Built for island living.

North-facing deck

A broad covered entertaining deck captures the water outlook and cooling bay breezes.

Steel-frame build

Brand-new elevated construction with strong architectural lines and low-maintenance coastal character.

Two private suites

Two generous bedrooms, both with deck access; main with ensuite and extensive built-in storage.

Four-car capacity

Premium detailing

Floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling, Blum cabinetry and carefully resolved finishes lift the home well above a typical speculative build.

Lifestyle · income · long-term value

Live in it. Let it. Hold it. The house works more than one way.

Live differently

A new, high-spec home in a tightly held north-facing position — designed for permanent island living without compromising on finish, space or outlook.

Short-stay potential

The view, new-build presentation and distinctive architecture give the property the ingredients for premium holiday or Airbnb-style accommodation, subject to applicable rules and approvals.

Built with investors in mind

As a brand-new income-producing property, buyers may be able to access new-build depreciation deductions and, where borrowing and deductible costs exceed rental income, negative-gearing treatment. Eligible Australian resident individuals and trusts may also qualify for the 50% CGT discount after satisfying the 12-month ownership rule. Tax outcomes depend on the buyer and use of the property.

Build cost · land · position · view

The hardest number to ignore: replacement value.

Start with the land. Add an elevated steel-frame home, five-metre living-room ceilings, Blum cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling, expansive decking, four-car capacity and the cost of assembling a capable Gold Coast build team on an island. Then add the one thing you cannot manufacture: a tightly held north-facing outlook across the water. The seller believes the current asking position sits below the cost of recreating the finished property today — before placing any value on the view itself.
