Imagine waking up every day inside your own hinterland hotel.
A space where the chatter of native birds is the first sound you hear upon waking while the hum of cicadas takes over as the sun descends behind the trees.
Nestled in Mudgeeraba Forest, the inner city acreage known as Carinya is the closest thing to a year-round holiday in the hills.

The newly constructed residence has all the appeal of a hotel-style retreat — a spacious master suite enjoys privacy and peace in one wing while at the opposite end, two junior suites and a guest bedroom each have their own ensuites and leafy green views.
Open plan living, dining and kitchen zones occupy the heart the home, flowing freely onto expansive timber decks where the surrounding forest makes it feel like your own private sanctuary.

The striking design is the work of Gold Coast builder Paul Tidmarsh, of PT Pole Homes, whose distinctive pole homes are highly regarded in Bonogin.
The Jake Court residence is the twentieth pole home Mr Tidmarsh has built on the Gold Coast in 15 years, with up to 15 of those in Mudgeeraba Forest.
The pole-style home provided a practical and economical solution for the sloping 4327 sqm block, with the elevated, lightweight timber construction eliminating the need for a concrete slab.
“To put a 640 sqm house on a sloping block on a slab would be a crazy cost,” said Mr Tidmarsh, who “married into” building pole homes by learning the ropes from father-in-law Jeff Dray.

There’s currently a two-year wait for a PT Pole home, with each project taking up to eight months to complete.
Materials were moved uphill by hand to the Jake Court site, with raw finishes such as Western red cedar cladding, Southern Beech flooring, an extra long Blackbutt kitchen benchtop and corrugated iron ceilings adding to the rustic appeal of the home.
“The good thing about the tin is that once you put it up you don’t have to paint it or maintain it down the track,” Mr Tidmarsh said. “It also ties the inside with the outside.”

The project was commissioned by
LJ Hooker Robina Group director David Manby and wife Blanche, who purchased the block in April 2019 with a view to building.
It’s the second pole home project the Manbys have completed in Mudgeeraba Forest, with a five-bedroom residence at 31 Beau Parade sold in May last year.
LJ Hooker Property Hub agents Roberto Scartozzi and Lisa Psaras are leading the campaign to auction on 13 September.

Ms
Psaras said the concept of an inner-city acreage was highly appealing.
“You’re still within 15 minutes from everything in Bonogin – schools, shopping centres, hospital and the M1,” she said.
“You’ve then got that hinterland treescape experience. Everybody who has been through the property is blown away by the scope of the home and the setting.”
