I've been struggling a bit lately to find homes worthy of posting about, I often find a beautiful home, with not-so-great decor, or vice-versa... very frustrating... but I prefer to wait till I find one that involves the whole home standing out from the rest...

like this one in Helensvale, on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

Obviously a very large home, on a large block, it is on the river, with it's own pontoon, pool, heaps of bedrooms etc etc...

I would be stoked if this was the entry to my home...

There is a very comfortable feel to this home, a lot of different materials, thereby creating a natural living space.

And here is my future WIR!

And what Queenslander home wouldn't have the perfect outdoor entertaining platform!

Unfortunately, no floorplan for this home, I would have liked to see this one, but in the meantime, here's what the Agent had to say about it!
