A luxurious acreage estate designed for vintage car collectors is now on the market in Willow Vale, northern Gold Coast. With an asking price of $3.5 million, this property features a purpose-built 12-vehicle showroom and an impressive man cave. The double-storey workshop and garage space boast polished concrete floors, a mezzanine-level lounge, and a fully-equipped bar and kitchen on the ground floor.
The property listing, represented by LJ Hooker Property Centre agent Peter Stone, suggests that this haven for petrol heads could also serve as a sports bar, music studio, art gallery, or even a home business headquarters. The estate has been meticulously designed to blend the experience of acreage living with the elegance of a vintage car showroom, allowing the owner to embrace their passion for automobiles within a luxurious lifestyle.
The home, situated on a spacious 2.13ha lot, offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The four garages provide a total of 12 car spaces, including one with a vehicle hoist. The master bedroom, located upstairs, features twin walk-in robes and an ensuite, while the remaining two bedrooms are downstairs along with a separate lounge, kitchen, and additional bathrooms.
The kitchen has been renovated to feature modern cabinetry, European appliances, a butler’s pantry, and stone benchtops. The residence showcases high ceilings, a fireplace, and high-end finishes made of timber, steel, stone, and tile. Both levels of the home are surrounded by wide decking that provides sweeping mountain views. A 25m lap pool, walk bridge, and poolside pavilion offer a serene outdoor space, and there is also a fire pit area.
Records indicate that the property was last sold for $1.1 million in 2013 to Gary and Heather Bone, prominent figures in Queensland’s trucking industry. The couple made extensive upgrades to the house, including the addition of the showroom extension, pavilion, and decking.
In summary, this acreage estate in Willow Vale is a showcase for vintage car enthusiasts. With its purpose-built showrooms, luxurious man cave, and exquisite living spaces, this property seamlessly blends the owner’s passion for automobiles with the comfort and elegance of a refined lifestyle.
