Mater Draw 274

You could be popping the champagne on Bribie Island this New Year’s, relaxing in the splendour of a five-bedroom home in Banksia Beach. That’s the amazing first prize in the Mater Home Lottery draw #274.

This property is a marvel, both inside and out, bringing the lucky winner the delights of resort-style living. Outdoor pavilions, landscaped tropical gardens, and a sparkling pool and spa all lie on the banks of a canal that harbours your own private pontoon. Inside, you’ll be pampered with endless space for your family and guests, spread out over multiple lounges, gaming rooms and even a conservatorium.

Life on the Island

Bribie Island is the only one of the three sand islands in Moreton Bay that can be accessed by road. That makes it a popular holiday destination for tourists, and an enviable place to call home. The island is halfway between Brisbane and Caloundra, the gateway to the Sunshine Coast. The bridge links the mainland to Bellara and Banksia Beach, where the prize home is located.

Much of the island is a nature preserve, protected within the Bribie Island National Park. It’s a haven for birds, natural fauna and wildlife. The beaches along the sheltered lee shore are covered in pristine white sand, looking over to the Glasshouse Mountains and hinterland. In all, Bribie Island is only 34 kilometres long, a sandy oasis in the Coral Sea.

The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s premier holiday destinations, drawing millions of local and international visitors every year. The famous theme parks, nature preserves, shopping and nightlife are a short drive away if you can ever pull yourself away from your new home.

Features of Resort-Style Living

If your idea of a dream home is plenty of space and room to relax, this draw has you covered. The Bribie Island property is huge and gives everyone in the family a private suite. There are multiple lounges, both inside and out, so you can choose to spend some time on your own or invite as many friends over as you can muster. This is a family home with the feel of an exclusive resort, combining cozy comfort with innovative design, opulence and endless variety.

A Christmas Gift with Options

This is one present you’re not going to want to return, but you’ve got lots of options if you’re the winner of this incredible home. Simply moving in is going to be very tempting, especially if you work in the greater Brisbane area. Commuting won’t be much of a bother when you’re coming home to five-star luxury. If you’re ready to chuck-in that job, there’s no better place to begin your retirement.

If you decide to keep the residence as an investment and rent it out, you’ll receive a second income that can pay for trips, new vehicles, or anything else you might have your eye on in the coming years. The property value will increase over time, making this a great nest-egg for retirement as well.

If you decide to sell, the proceeds will make you a millionaire. Look forward to a future that’s free of financial worries, and enjoy whatever lifestyle $1.8 million dollars will afford.
