A “masterpiece” home that combines island living with Sunshine Coast lifestyle has presented itself to the market in what has been described as a “piece of art”.

This multi-award-winning home is inspired by British colonial design and situated on a “coveted” island overlooking Lake Kawana.

Located at 1 Entrance Island, Bokarina, the home is on 2000sqm of land and has more than 70m of water frontage.

The family home offers ample living, with multiple spaces taking advantage of the panoramic water views.

Selling agent Richard Scrivener from Next Property said he was excited to introduce this “exclusive and immaculate” family home situated on the “coveted” Entrance Island.

“We could talk about this truly outstanding award-winning home for days,” he said.

“Homes of this magnitude and grandeur, combined with island living, are extremely rare.

“It’s a beautiful home. It’s like a piece of art, there is probably not another home in Queensland like it.”

1 Entrance Island, Bokarina, is inspired by British colonial design.

Mr Scrivener said the current owners designed the house with a British colonial feel and that the attention to detail was “phenomenal”.

Three-metre-high ceilings throughout the ground floor create a feeling of space and grandeur.

The kitchen offers extensive dolomite benchtops, a high-quality multi-zone induction cooktop, two oversized ovens, a chiller tap, bar area and an extra deep space for the oversized fridge-freezer, plus a dining space, butler’s pantry and walk-in pantry.

There are five spacious bedrooms, all with water views, with one of the master bedrooms on the ground floor and the second master bedroom upstairs.

Four bedrooms offer ensuite facilities and walk-in robes, while the fifth bedroom doubles as a rumpus room with four custom-built bunks with storage.

The home has five bathrooms in total, plus an additional powder room.

There is a purpose-built media room with tiered seating and a 140-inch screen, custom executive home office and full gym with mirrored walls.

The outdoor covered entertaining area includes a built-in barbecue, while the inground swimming pool features a glass edge and beautiful lake views.

The garage offers an abundance of storage and space with room for four cars, while there is additional off-street parking behind electric gates.

The property has 70m of water frontage.

With a central location close to schools, Sunshine Coast University Hospital, beaches and dining options, Mr Scrivener said Entrance Island offered a “unique” opportunity.

“Entrance Island is quite unique, and it is currently the only home available there,” he said.

“It’s on a half an acre block in the centre of Bokarina, plus there is a communal tennis court in the middle of the island.”

Mr Scrivener said the property had been “well accepted” to the market and interest from genuine buyers had been strong.

Inspections are via appointment. For details on 1 Entrance Island, Bokarina, contact Richard Scrivener at Next Property Group on 0416 799 188.
