It is situated in a prestige pocket with strong long-term capital growth, offering a quiet residential feel while still being close to the action. Adjacent to Burleigh Ridge Park (National Park), the property benefits from a natural buffer that will never be built beside.

The current house is a character-filled, two-level family home from the 1950s retro era, with rental potential. It offers three bedrooms or alternatively two bedrooms plus guest accommodation or a multipurpose room, a large living area, separate dining area, three bathrooms, and a two-car lock-up garage. All rooms enjoy gorgeous views of the coastline and stunning National Park and gardens. The residence can be lived in or leased out, allowing for land banking while planning future development. The existing residence includes three bedrooms or one bedroom and two fully contained, well-fitted rental units with kitchenettes and bathrooms.

The lifestyle is effortless, walkable, and iconic, with a short stroll to Burleigh Heads Beach, a World Surfing Reserve, Burleigh Head National Park, and Tallebudgera Creek, which are some of Australia’s most recognizable and iconic family and surfing beaches. The area offers a vibrant dining and social scene with popular venues such as Rick Shores, Burleigh Pavilion, The Tropic, and Burleigh Heads Surf Club.
