Having a home with a skatepark in the backyard is the kind of thing kids dream about, but for the next owners of this estate on the Tweed Coast, it will be their reality.
The property at 64 Cabbage Gum Road in Cudgera Creek includes a full-sized professional skatepark, a combined basketball and tennis court, and a large swimming pool with a spa.

Listing agent Jesse Wilmen from Raine & Horne Pottsville Beach says the skatepark was installed by a previous owner more than a decade ago for his son, who was an exceptionally talented skater.
“He built it so his son could practice at home rather than taking him to skateparks, because obviously there are not many of those close to rural properties,” says Wilmen.

With skateboarding now an Olympic sport, Wilmen says he’s fielded interest from parents of aspiring skaters and notes that people who view the property are impressed by its size.
“The amount of concrete in that is unbelievable. The money this would cost, even today, to build, would be outrageous.”

Set on 9.7 hectares, there’s also a spring-fed dam, established fruit trees and farm sheds, with enough space for horse or motorbike riding.
The vendor, a builder, has “changed the house right up”, adding two bedrooms and two bathrooms to the main residence, as well as new floors and painting throughout. There’s also a separate, semi-self-contained studio.
The home is in an elevated position, providing views across the Tweed Coast.

“It’s rare to get acreage with these views and then also being in close proximity to the beaches, which are a five- to seven-minute-drive away,” says Wilmen.
“It’s a very unique property and you will probably never find anything like it.”
The property at 64 Cabbage Gum Road is being sold via expression of interest, closing at 3pm on January 30.
