Who knew surf could so pay!
Mermaid Beach is one of those joints that doesn’t get a lot of press when you’re talking Gold Coast. I might even suggest that unless you’ve lived there, you’ve never heard of it.
And y’should. It’s an uncrowded balm to the craziness of Snapper and Burleigh and Kirra and D-bah and everywhere else. In winter, when the wind blows north-west and there’s enough swell kicking around Point Danger, you’ll find a surprising haul of empty-ish waves.
Scott Perrin, the former Bilalbong director, but not the director who is, uh, in a little trouble with various bookmakers and banks etc, that’s his brother Matt, is selling his crib Tidemark at Mermaid Beach.
Now this ain’t no ordinary house. World-class? Yeah it is. On a combined land parcel of almost 3000 square metres. A sublime Frank Lloyd Wright-esque design, which is rare on this garish strip. Six beds. Six crappers. A retracing glass and copper roof. Steam rooms, naturally, sauna, two kitchens and a separate teppanyaki pavilion. The underground garage will hold 11 cars, it has a separate caretaker or mistress cabin and accommodation for up to six staff.
Out front? Beachbreaks for miles. Good beachbreaks. Outer banks that’ll hold six foot toobs.
Anyway, if you want and you’ve got tween 20 and 30 mill? Buy here!
