| Description.
Tamborine Mountain is a semi-rural area on
the plateau of a small mountain (560m high) adjacent to the city of the
Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s major international
tourist destinations and with a population of almost a million people.
‘The Mountain’, as it is known to locals, is a sought-after residential
and holiday area for people who appreciate nature, a peaceful lifestyle,
and a sense of community, coupled with proximity to all modern
conveniences. It is only half an hour from some of Australia’s most
popular beaches. The Mountain is renowned for its greenery – both in its 7
rainforest national parks (with walking tracks and waterfalls), and the
lovely gardens, full of beautiful flowers, that prosper in this warm
sub-tropical climate. It also features spectacular views to the Coast and
inland. Residents of the Mountain have worked hard to ensure that
commercial development does not take over, and the area retains a
‘village’ atmosphere, with many of the houses still on large blocks of land. For the visitor, there are also
many craft shops, galleries, wineries, cafes and restaurants. The climate
in summer is warm (typical maximum temperatures of about 25oC), and avoids
the high temperatures sometimes felt on the nearby coastal strip. Within
an hour’s drive of The Mountain are several World Heritage Area national
parks, with spectacular scenery and more plant and animals species than
almost anywhere else in Australia.

It is very peaceful, secluded and green. The house has three bedrooms and all usual conveniences. It is a 5 minute walk to the local shop, and a 7 minute drive to the main shopping area of Tamborine Mountain. |
