Spanish-style waterfront home wows on the Gold Coast

Nicki and Paul Harms are selling their Burleigh Waters property Amaia.

A luxury new-build in Burleigh Waters is turning heads for its nod to Spanish architecture.

Amaia, a five-bedroom three-bathroom waterfront house with limestone and micro cement finishes, is the brainchild of Paul and Nicki Harms, of building company PJH Constructions and interior design business Our Next Project.

The couple is no strangers to building on the Gold Coast, with dozens of showstopping and well-known homes under their belt.

Amaia has a Spanish influence.

Property records reveal they bought their Burleigh Waters block at 76 Dipper Drive in July, 2024 before knocking down and embarking on their new design.

“When we first purchased the property we wanted to build a single level home while still accommodating a five bedroom, three bathroom home with multiple living areas,” Ms Harms said.

“The building designer, Jason Pate, did an amazing job of creating separate living zones that are interconnected, functional and flow well.

“The other key element of the design was that we wanted to be able to see the water from the moment you entered the front door.”

Standout features include a waterfront terrace and pool, media room, wine cellar, sauna and cold plunge.

Ms Harms said while the home was built with the intention to sell, the pair wanted the front facade to be striking yet homely but also have a point of difference in the neighbourhood.

“The external facade has a Spanish style architecture and look with natural stone, timber battening and warm coloured render,” she said.

“We also wanted to keep elements of the Spanish architecture look internally while giving it a modern feel to appeal to a broad range of buyers.

“Internally we have continued the style with arches, curves, micro cement and natural materials like the limestone on the floor and vanity tops.

“We added some black aluminium, aged bronze lights and the silver river marble to give the home a luxurious, modern feel.”

The dining and kitchen.

Ms Harms said their favourite feature was the kitchen with its oversized 4m island bench and 4m ceilings, large butlers pantry and wine cellar.

“This kitchen flows out to the large alfresco overlooking the water, regardless of where you are in the room,” she said.

Another standout is the main ensuite with its curved shower and floor to ceiling micro-cement.

“The ceiling height of the shower is 4m drawing the eye up to an oval skylight,” Ms Harms said.

“While the height is not necessary, the grand proportions and bench seats create a sense of luxury and a spa-like feel.”

The property was designed for a family or couple with a separate parents’ retreat, several open lawn areas and direct lake access for fishing.

“There are various zones to entertain including the beautiful kitchen, alfresco, pool area, lawn areas and a separate large outdoor deck with in built bench seats overlooking the vast water,” she said.

PropTrack data reveals the median house price in Burleigh Waters is $1.72m, up 9 per cent over 12 months.

“The lifestyle on the Gold Coast and the climate of Queensland means that the property market will continue to have ongoing growth,” she said.

“The median house prices continue to rise and there are opportunities in un-touch pockets of the Gold Coast that will begin to boom soon as well.”

The property is on the market via expressions of interest with Braiden Smith and Alex Kennedy of PRD Burleigh Heads.
