A new chapter is unfolding on the shores of South Stradbroke Island. Once a vibrant resort destination, Couran Cove is now being lovingly restored by a passionate community of residents. While the resort itself remains closed, a remarkable transformation is taking place – homes are upgraded, the landscape is being rejuvenated, and a vision for sustainable, off-grid living is coming to life. Whether you’re seeking property for purchase, a unique rental, or simply a revitalising escape from the mainland, Couran Cove invites you to experience the best of island life, just 30 minutes from the heart of the Gold Coast.
Imagine waking each morning to the gentle call of native birds, the scent of saltwater in the breeze, and the soothing hush of the ocean. Here, the pace slows, the air is cleaner, and your days are shaped by sunrises over white sand and sunsets reflected in tranquil waterways. At Couran Cove, you are not just buying a home – you are joining a resilient and forward-thinking community, dedicated to self-sufficiency and ecological stewardship.
· Off-Grid Excellence: Homes in the community have been upgraded to be 100% off-grid and fully functioning. Harnessing solar power, innovative water systems, and working on sustainable waste management solutions, our residents have created modern sanctuaries that tread lightly on the environment and ensure year-round comfort – no matter what’s happening on the mainland.
· Bespoke Properties for Sale: Explore a diverse selection of homes and properties tailored for couples, families, or solo adventurers. Whether you seek a modern villa by the marina, a hideaway nestled among the trees, or a spacious family home, there are opportunities to suit every vision and budget.
· Flexible Rentals: Not ready to buy? Discover rental options ranging from cozy studios to expansive multi-bedroom residences. Enjoy all the benefits of island living, without the long-term commitment. · Reconnect with Nature: Surrounded by national parkland, sandy trails, and untouched beaches, Couran Cove offers immediate access to a world of outdoor adventure. Swim, surf, kayak, or hike at your leisure – it’s all right at your doorstep.
· A True Community: Leave behind the anonymity of city living. Here, neighbours become friends and every resident is invested in the future of the island. Community events, shared workdays, and regular markets create a sense of belonging and purpose.
· Peace and Privacy: Far from the traffic and hustle, the island provides a haven of tranquillity. Listen to the waves, watch wallabies at dusk, and let your worries drift away.
· Self-Sufficiency: With innovative energy solutions and local food initiatives, island living means independence from rising utility costs and disruptions.
· Proximity to the Gold Coast: Despite its secluded feel, Couran Cove is just a short boat ride from Hope Island or Runaway Bay. The Gold Coast’s shopping, dining, entertainment, and schools are all within easy reach, making this a practical option for families, commuters, and retirees alike.
