5 Granadilla Street, Macleay Island, QLD, 4184, Australia

It might sound impossible, but this home has been converted from three containers into a grand villa, gracing a landscaped 744m2 corner-block, on the South-East-side of the island.

5 Granadilla presents as a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom family home, although the septic is only geared for a 1-bedroom residence. So, accept it as-is, or upgrade the septic system to suit a small family. Either way, it’s a great opportunity to get into the property market on Macleay Island.

Peeking behind the secure entry-gate, is a modern building design finished in a fresh-white-and-charcoal palette, with splashes of green foliage framing the large entertainment timber deck.

Welcome home!

As you enter, you’ll notice plenty of glass for natural light, high ceilings and new oak timber-look plank flooring throughout. It’s been freshly painted and ready for a new family to fill the void with laughter and happiness. 

The air-conditioned open-plan living is large enough for dedicated dining and lounge areas, flowing seamlessly to the spacious timber-deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Privacy screening to the West offers shade in Summer and a secure pet/toddler gate prevents easy access to the yard (when required).

A larger than expected kitchen with blonde cabinetry and faux-granite laminate benchtops is both practical and serviceable in its design. However, simply replacing the benchtop and splashback would breathe new life into the hub of the home. Incorporating a breakfast bar (you’ve got the space) will create a functional connection with the dining and outdoor areas, plus it’d give you even more storage.

Your large master-suite has double-robes and a private deck (accessed via sliding doors), overlooking the rear-yard. It offers a tranquil retreat in the morning for yoga or mediation; a space for evening quiet-time; or to enjoy a romantic, lazy Sunday brunch.

The other rooms are ideal as two single-bedrooms (both with built-ins), or a home-office and studio-space with storage. Take your pick!

A family-sized bathroom presents as modern and new. It has a spa-bath with screened shower over, toilet and vanity, plus a convenient door from the bathroom leads to the sunny laundry, with sliding-door access to the outdoor drying area.

Outdoor features include:
• Insect screens on windows
• Water tank
• Garden shed for storage
• Carport
• Clothesline
• Landscaped gardens with fruit trees, yuccas and murraya hedging
• Corner-access to driveway from Mawson
• Fully-fenced property
• Adjoining backdrop of large gums in a forest setting
• Expansive lawn for pets and children

With so much yard to enjoy and develop further, you can’t go past this well-priced island residence. It’s ripe to enjoy now, but imagine what it could become as it matures with your growing family over the next few years. Will you add a granny-flat, a larger shed or garage, or perhaps even consider a pool?

Macleay Island is only 15-minutes from Redland Bay by ferry and has all the services you’d expect from a small town. There’s a primary school, early childhood centres, doctors, chemist, three shopping zones, clubs, pub, parklands and public access to the waterways.

The islands are great for raising a family, or equally ideal for transitioning to retirement or thinking about your next chapter in life.

If you’ve toyed with the idea of container living, this villa takes it to the next level and offers quite a surprise. See if you can find the only trace of that tell-tale container metal in this home. Hint: It’s in the master-suite!
