A Masterclass in Craftsmanship and Design with Big River Group

Tucked away along the pristine waterways of the Gold Coast, this stunning residence captures the essence of waterfront living with a Mediterranean soul. Designed with a seamless blend of classic craftsmanship and contemporary luxury, every aspect of this home has been meticulously curated to enhance both lifestyle and create timeless appeal. The result is a home that feels both opulent and inviting, a place where every detail has been considered, and every room or space within the house tells a story.

Upon arrival, the home’s grandeur is immediately apparent. The crazy-paved entryway and beautifully landscaped gardens set the stage for an architectural masterpiece that unfolds as you step inside. Expansive water frontage to the canals of the Broadwater provides an ever-present connection to nature, while generous open-plan spaces frame the breathtaking views.

From the moment you enter, natural light pours in through skylights, illuminating the French-pattern travertine floors and custom blackbutt timber joinery, which create a sense of warmth and texture throughout the home.

The inspiration behind this home was to create something that feels as though it could have been built 100 years ago while still being comfortable and suited to a modern lifestyle. That vision is reflected in both the architecture and the choice of materials, with every curve and finish carefully considered to feel both authentic and contemporary.

At the heart of the residence, the kitchen and living spaces are designed for both beauty and functionality. Engineered with precision, Big River Group’s products play an integral role in enhancing these spaces. MaxiWall was chosen for the floors and both internal and external walls, forming the core structural elements of the home. Its superior acoustic and insulation properties make it a standout feature, ensuring a peaceful, energy-efficient living environment. Additionally, MaxiWall’s ability to be shaped and crafted to suit the home’s curves and rounded corners allowed for a level of detail and authenticity rarely seen in Australian homes.

Hardwood feature pergolas, crafted from Big River’s timber, introduce a striking natural element to the exterior, enhancing both durability and aesthetics. These handcrafted pergolas reinforce the commitment to traditional craftsmanship while also elevating the home’s Mediterranean appeal, evoking the shaded, sun-drenched terraces of Greece. Their warm timber tones and organic structure contrast beautifully with the smooth rendered walls, creating an inviting outdoor retreat that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Designed for entertaining, the kitchen is a showcase of exquisite materiality. Striking marble finishes complement the natural textures of the wood and stone, creating a striking yet harmonious aesthetic. Every detail, from the state-of-the-art appliances to the layout, has been carefully considered to enhance functionality while maintaining the seamless flow of the home.

Beyond the kitchen, the open-plan living and dining areas extend effortlessly into outdoor spaces. Expansive glass doors frame the view, opening onto beautifully landscaped gardens and an alfresco entertaining zone complete with an integrated BBQ kitchen. Whether hosting family gatherings or quiet evenings by the water, this space is designed to be as versatile as it is breathtaking.

The sense of luxury extends into the bedrooms. Each of the four spacious bedrooms features its own ensuite, bathed in natural light and designed to provide a sanctuary-like feel. The main bathroom is a standout, with a curved shower illuminated by a stunning skylight above, and a private outdoor patio complete with a rainfall shower, offering a true spa-like retreat.

Crowning the home is an entertainer’s dream – a rooftop terrace designed for sun drenched afternoons of entertaining. Offering 360-degree skyline, park, and water views, this space is as spectacular as it is functional. A grand pergola, built-in smoker, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen set the stage for hosting at any time of year. Whether soaking in panoramic sunsets or enjoying the gentle evening breeze, the rooftop terrace transforms everyday living into something extraordinary.

This home brings to life a design that has never been done before in Australia using Big River products, staying true to an authentic style. The combination of craftsmanship, high-performance materials, and a strong design vision has resulted in a home that is not just beautiful but also a true architectural achievement.

More than just a residence, this waterfront masterpiece embodies the perfect fusion of Mediterranean charm and coastal prestige. It is a home where luxury meets lifestyle, where architectural brilliance enhances everyday living, and where every detail is designed to inspire.
