1/206-210 Mandalay Road, Mandalay, Qld 4802

Privately set on over two acres within a small, gated community in prestigious Mandalay, just minutes from Airlie Beach and the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef, this striking residence is available for the first time since construction. Designed by award-winning Cairns architect Chris VanDyke and built by Ken Fox, whose reputation for quality craftsmanship is well known in the region, the home reflects a rare pairing of design vision and build excellence.
 
A winding driveway climbs through manicured tropical gardens to reveal a home that feels a world away: elevated, private, and perfectly oriented to capture sweeping views across the Coral Sea to the islands beyond, with native bushland and national park forming a protected backdrop that ensures lasting privacy.
 
Fox's craftsmanship and VanDyke's architectural intent are evident throughout - exposed structural timbers, considered sightlines, and a refined coastal aesthetic that sits naturally in its North Queensland landscape. Balinese-inspired open-plan living on the upper level flows seamlessly through full-width glass louvres, connecting a generous kitchen, dining and entertaining zone with the master retreat - all positioned to frame the outlook.
 
Three further bedrooms on the lower level - each with its own bathroom - provide comfortable, self-contained accommodation for family or guests, making the home equally suited to a private residence, a holiday base, or a premium letting opportunity in one of Australia's most sought-after coastal destinations.
 
A standout feature of the grand foyer is a specially commissioned large-scale work by Ash Keating, one of Australia's most celebrated contemporary artists, whose bold and immersive creations, including his recent commission for The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne, have been exhibited extensively across Australia and internationally.
 
The centerpiece of the outdoor entertaining is a thatched Balinese pavilion with hardwood deck, outdoor dining and lounge seating, open to the sea breeze and overlooking a plunge pool that catches the view across Pioneer Bay. Together they create a private tropical retreat for daily living or effortless entertaining. A detached double garage with adjoining gym adds practical versatility.
 
Recently repainted throughout with new main air conditioning unit, a new pool pump, and immaculately maintained gardens which can be easily maintained through a dedicated bore and water tank off the double lock up garage. The home is also serviced with a 100,000 litre underground freshwater tank.  This home presents in turn-key condition - ready for immediate enjoyment with no work required. 
 
Whitehaven Beach, Hamilton Island, the Dent Island championship golf course, and the world-class Coral Sea Marina are all a short trip away. Daily flights connect Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane to Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) and Hamilton Island airports, both a short drive or transfer from the property.
 
A rare opportunity to secure a landmark home in one of the Whitsundays' most coveted private enclaves.
