In recent years Hope Island Resort has concentrated on developing ‘signature architectural style’ residential products to provide chic living and the Lake Lugano residences epitomize that new look. The first 10 Lake Lugano villas sold quickly with the highest price paid being $1.25 million.

The new apartment villas present an unparalleled selection of superb 253.83. square metre residential homes with large living areas encompassing 360º views of the lake and golf course.

“People will greatly benefit from the quality residential living options available, in a resort environment that offers a lifestyle that is second to none,” said architect Chris Marshall of ChrisDesigns Pty Limited.

“We’ve endeavored to make the villa apartments as unique in their design as possible by positioning them in a ‘one up and one down’ format with each villa apartment having street level access and large tiled decks with water views which are perfect for entertaining and indoor-outdoor living,” said Mr. Marshall.

“This design provides single level living with the ground level villa having a garden and the upstairs villa enjoying spectacular views.”

Hope Island Resort’s sales manager David Small said: “We pride ourselves on the fact that we have a quality residential product for virtually everyone no matter what stage of life they are at.”

“The Gold Coast has a superb sub-tropical climate and the relaxed Hope Island Resort outdoors lifestyle has been carefully considered when designing the waterside villa apartments,” he said.

“With prices in the $845-$860,000 range, the popularity of the new residential product continues to increase with some already selling off the plan.”

Mr. Small said interest in the Lake Lugano villas was coming from home buyers seeking luxury waterfront homes which provide them with security, low maintenance and the ultimate in living environments.

The latest eight villa apartments, built in blocks of four, have two villa apartments in each block. They all feature high ceilings, quality fittings and fixtures and décor with soft warm toned milky white walls with natural timber finishes, according to the interior designer.

Paula Reardon of Paula Reardon Designs, said: “I’ve paid special attention to creating soft warm tones throughout and the appealing contemporary kitchens are ideal for entertaining with their large island stone finish bench tops. Cupboards are of a natural high gloss wood veneer finish and all kitchens have quality European appliances.”

“The three bedrooms are carpeted in soft neutral colors, with mirrored robes in two bedrooms, a powder room and a magnificent ensuite bathroom featuring double vanities, huge spa and warm natural wood finishes with a floor to ceiling feature window and leading off from the large main bedroom is the walk-in robe area,” she said.

The environment has been carefully considered with special attention given to providing natural cross flow ventilation in all rooms. Ducted air conditioning is also included.

Each villa features a full security system and an enormous tiled balcony one metre from the waters edge equipped with a BBQ gas point. They also have substantial storage areas plus open plan living areas plus oversized double garage plus a buggy space.

The upper level villa apartments have timber flooring in the living areas, a gallery level with a study area and the ground level villa apartments have a handy computer recess, tiled flooring throughout the main areas and a secluded fully landscaped courtyard garden with privacy screening.

Mr. Small said the opportunities to secure a Hope Island Resort lifestyle villa apartment property on Lake Lugano were limited. “Our first release was very successful and the interest that has been shown in this latest design indicates that they will sell quickly,” he said.
