5 Gobie Street, Kurrimine Beach, QLD 4871

This​ ​is​ ​exactly​ ​what​ ​you​ ​picture​ ​when​ ​you​ ​think​ ​of​ ​the​ ​family​ ​holiday​ ​house​ ​at​ ​the​ ​beach.​ ​It​ ​has​ ​been​ ​in​ ​the​ ​same​ ​family​ ​ownership​ ​for​ ​23​ ​years,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​has​ ​ot​ ​been​ ​an​ ​easy​ ​decision​ ​to​ ​let​ ​it​ ​go.

Sitting​ ​just​ ​metres​ ​from​ ​the​ ​beach,​ ​basically​ ​far​ ​enough​ ​not​ ​to​ ​cop​ ​the​ ​worst​ ​of​ ​the​ ​salt​ ​spray​ ​but​ ​close​ ​enough​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can​ ​see​ ​and​ ​hear​ ​the​ ​ocean,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​just​ ​a​ ​stroll​ ​away​ ​from​ ​the​ ​front​ ​gate.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​built​ ​two​ ​storeys,​ ​your​ ​view​ ​would​ ​be​ ​excellent.

The​ ​cottage​ ​is​ ​in​ ​very​ ​good​ ​condition​ ​internally​ ​and​ ​externally,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​new​ ​roof​ ​for​ ​the​ ​most​ ​part​ ​and​ ​fresh​ ​paint,​ ​a​ ​large​ ​open​ ​plan​ ​living​ ​room/​ ​kitchen​ ​which​ ​has​ ​the​ ​benefit​ ​of​ ​great​ ​natural​ ​light​ ​from​ ​the​ ​north-facing​ ​aspect.​ ​The​ ​kitchen​ ​has​ ​had​ ​an​ ​upgrade​ ​at​ ​some​ ​stage​ ​and​ ​has​ ​a​ ​large​ ​corner​ ​pantry​ ​and​ ​good​ ​bench​ ​space.​ ​I​ ​imagine​ ​most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​cooking​ ​here​ ​will​ ​be​ ​done​ ​on​ ​the​ ​BBQ.​ ​Probably​ ​cooking​ ​up​ ​the​ ​fresh​ ​Coral​ ​Trout​ ​that​ ​you​ ​caught​ ​just​ ​this​ ​morning.

The​ ​bathroom​ ​is​ ​very​ ​much​ ​in​ ​keeping​ ​with​ ​the​ ​beach​ ​house​ ​theme,​ ​with​ ​its​ ​deep​ ​blue​ ​tiles​ ​and​ ​barrier​ ​reef​ ​toilet​ ​seat.​ ​The​ ​main​ ​bedroom​ ​has​ ​air​ ​conditioning,​ ​but​ ​the​ ​house​ ​benefits​ ​from​ ​the​ ​ocean​ ​breeze.

Any​ ​respectable​ ​beach​ ​house​ ​in​ ​this​ ​area​ ​must​ ​have​ ​a​ ​big​ ​boat​ ​shed.​ ​This​ ​house​ ​has​ ​a​ ​very​ ​high​ ​clearance​ ​boat​ ​shed​ ​that​ ​could​ ​be​ ​extended​ ​if​ ​your​ ​boat​ ​is​ ​too​ ​big.​ ​The​ ​house​ ​is​ ​set​ ​right​ ​at​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​the​ ​block,​ ​which​ ​means​ ​it​ ​is​ ​quieter​ ​and​ ​more​ ​private.​ ​The​ ​yard​ ​is​ ​fully​ ​fenced,​ ​and​ ​there​ ​are​ ​a​ ​few​ ​mandatory​ ​fruit​ ​trees.​ ​Nothing​ ​like​ ​a​ ​freshly​ ​picked​ ​papaya​ ​for​ ​breakfast.

The​ ​village​ ​has​ ​everything​ ​you​ ​need,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​fishing​ ​is​ ​extraordinary.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​a​ ​prime​ ​location​ ​without​ ​the​ ​beachfront​ ​price​ ​tag.​ ​Houses​ ​in​ ​this​ ​village​ ​sell​ ​quickly.​ ​
