New lifestyle address unlocked at Hope Island

The final waterfront land release within the prestigious Hope Island Resort will offer buyers the opportunity to combine a prized waterfront location with a golf resort lifestyle.The Peninsula comprises 45 waterside lots in the first stage of a multi release development by ASF Properties.Marketing agent Brent Dallow, of McGrath Projects, said he anticipated the soon-to-be-launched enclave would appeal to a largely owner-occupier market, particularly boating and golf enthusiasts.“It’s a desirable address for discerning home-owners who will have bridgeless access to the Broadwater, and Links Hope Island Golf Course at the doorstep,” he said.“Golf is the centrepiece of the resort and residents will have buggy access from their homes to the course and its clubhouse.“Hope Island Resort’s world-class marina, waterfront tavern and restaurants, medical facilities and a supermarket-anchored retail precinct are also accessible via buggy.“There is also the peace of mind that comes from a gated community with state-of-the-art security.”Mr Dallow said buyers in The Peninsula also had the benefit of Hope Island Resort’s FIRB exemption because of its status as one of a handful of Integrated Tourism Resorts (ITR) in Australia.“If they decide to sell in the future, they will be able to tap into an international market of buyers who are traditionally exempt from purchasing established property outside of ITRs,” he said.“It is one of the few places in Australia that allows a foreigner to buy a second hand property without FIRB approval.”Land at The Peninsula will be priced from $545,000 with an average price tag of $627,000.Blocks will have provision for pontoons for deep water mooring and will range in size from 370sqm to 602sqm.Mr Dallow said the lots were capable of accommodating large family homes but were among the most affordable waterfront stock at Hope Island.He said renowned Gold Coast architect Baydon Goddard had designed suitable housing options for The Peninsula which buyers would have the option of accessing.Hope Island Resort is located a short drive from the Pacific Motorway, which provides easy access to the Gold Coast’s beaches, Brisbane and two airports.ASF Group’s other Gold Coast property interests include an oceanfront parcel on Marine Parade, Surfers Paradise and a planned 420-apartment project on Scarborough Street, Southport.
