A Florida-inspired, award-winning home has hit the market, offering luxury living on a 2000sqm block.

As the Sunshine Coast continues to grow, properties with large land parcels are becoming harder to obtain, making this property a rare find.

The new home offers opulent features like its tiered seating media room with a cinema-size screen, mirrored-wall gym, custom executive office and a rumpus room with four bunks and additional storage.

It also has 70m of water frontage and access to a community tennis court and pavilion.

Next Property Group founder Loren Wimhurst said the residence must be seen to be believed.

“The detail of the home is spectacular,” she said.

The home occupies a commanding waterfront position.

“You really need to see it to appreciate the detail that’s gone into the construction.”

The strategic design ensures water views from almost every room.

Ms Wimhurst described the Hamptons-style home as “oversized” but still charming and suitable for a family.

“It’s got these beautiful ceilings, but it just has this family warmth to it,” she said.

“You could imagine having kids running around.

“It’s very charming.”

As it is only a few years old, it boasts many contemporary fixtures such as a CCTV system, 18kW solar panels, fully ducted and zoned air-conditioning and space for four cars protected by an electric gate.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence offers private spaces for the parents and kids, with the potential for a guest suite.

Attention to detail is a feature throughout.

Plenty of activities are available for the family, with the beach and shopping centre a few minutes’ drive away.

“It is in the heart of Bokarina so you have the beach on one side and shopping on the other side,” Ms Wimhurst said.

“Kids could ride their bikes everywhere.”

The owners, originally from the United States, wanted to build a home that depicts British colonial homes seen in their home country.

They are planning to build another house on Entrance Island.

Ms Wimhurst said it had the potential to be a generational property because the older these homes become, the better they are.

To attend the 11am inspection at 1 Entrance Island, Bokarina, on Saturday, September 14, contact Loren Wimhurst on 0415 380 222 or Richard Scrivener on 0416 799 188.
