About this property

Villa Macleay-Beach Front Family Paradise

This is the house that others dream about! This architecturally designed, absolute beachfront home is located at the island's most coveted sandy swimming beach. With a feel of luxury beach chic, it has a modern kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, three spacious bedrooms, and inside and outside options for relaxing and dining.

Villa Macleay is a spacious and sprawling home located on Coondooroopa Drive, Macleay Island. Set on a stunning northerly aspect, Villa Macleay takes full advantage of the expansive views of Moreton Bay, crisp summer breezes, and warm winter sun.

We are located right beside Dalpura Park - the best sandy swimming beach on Macleay Island. From the deck, you look straight across to Coochiemudlo Island and view North Stradbroke island to the right and Redland Bay to the left. You can also see famous Peel Island on a clear day.

Villa Macleay is architecturally designed to showcase the casual, light and airy indoor and outdoor living areas that provide a retreat for the whole family. Featuring impressive hardwood timber floors and tiled bathrooms, each space has been carefully considered to maximise the home's livability and luxury.

You will spend most of your time on our expansive covered timber deck. Here, you can dine at our 8 seater table, relax on the sun lounges, or sit at the wraparound bar and enjoy a breakfast coffee or a sunset drink whilst you take in the bay views. Sunsets are spectacular!

Enjoy high tide waves lapping our garden wall, stroll out at low tide to hunt for soldier crabs. Go swimming, explore the mangroves on the complimentary surf skis or throw a line in to catch some delicious fresh bream. If you are an avid birdwatcher, look out for Kookaburras, Curlews, Rainbow Lorikeets, Galahs, Pelicans, Sulphur Crested Cockatoos , and visiting seabirds from Siberia. If you're lucky, you'll even see Dolphins cruising through. View all this from the deck without even moving a muscle! For the more active, why not take a leisurely stroll up the road to Pat's Park. One of the highlights of the year is the very moving Anzac Day Dawn Service on April 25, held at Pat's Park.

When it's time to retreat after a busy day relaxing or enjoying the water you have access to:

1. A master bedroom featuring a king size bed, ensuite and walk-in robe
2. A double bedroom featuring a queen size bed and built-in robes
3. A spacious share room featuring a queen size bed, a double bed and a single bed.

Fitted out with every kitchen and laundry appliance that you could possibly need, luxury furnishings and high thread count sheets and towels, Villa Macleay has every requirement for a casually elegant and well deserved beach break. This premium quality beach house is destined to be much sought after by the discerning holiday maker. Villa Macleay establishes a new benchmark in luxury beach house style on Macleay Island - We are delighted to welcome you to our Paradise!

About the host

Hosted by Sue Hawkins

Host profile image
My husband Peter and I are passionate about home renovation and traveling the world.

We built our stunning beach house 23 years ago and we have decided it is now time to start sharing it with other people. Over the last 2 decades, Villa Macleay has been a haven for our children and now our grandchildren.

Likewise, we are excited to announce that we are also now listing our beautifully renovated, art deco New Farm - Brisbane apartments, 'Bursley' and 'Aotea'.

We believe in presenting our properties in a style that we would like to stay in ourselves. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

An absolute paradise with the beach on your doorstep.
