40 Vista Street

'Cause Gough was tough 'Til he hit the rough Hey, Uncle Sam and John were quite enough' [Midnight Oil 1982] We remember many aspects to the early 70's other than the Whitlam dismissal, but the chance to quote such iconic prose really could not be missed. Some recall war protests, Cyclone Tracey or Brisbane's 74 floods, even our first colour television. This was also a time of living zone free on Russell Island. The was no jurisdiction by any council and allowed habitation without planning restrictions. Built in approximately 1970 (three years prior to Redland Council managing the islands). For this reason, the new owner of this island delight needs no council approval for purchase. The early 70's were a time of change, cultural significance and freedom. Of the few grabbing blocks back then, that freedom was a benefit to many wishing to create something special. Here at Vista Street the block was kept green and lush, with the additional magic of a private cabin further behind the natural screening. The resulting island hideaway is peaceful, private and alluring. With 609 m2 of island sanctuary, this cabin in the woods is unique. It offers an incredible opportunity and smooth transition for the new owner. Water and power are already up and running, offering those extra comforts for holidays or weekends away. Tranquillity flows from this ferny block and bush chalet, with nothing to do but bring the rods over, and a few friends, for fresh memories to unfurl. Utilities mentioned above ensure that this retro and rustic gem caters to cooking, bathing, laundry and lighting. It is also a stone's throw from everything you need. Island dining, cafés, markets and more await withing easy reach. With room for a boat, kayaks or jet skis your future dream getaway will soothe the psyche and impress your favourite people.
