Large
acreage blocks, beautiful landscapes,
walkways and bike trails throughout the
natural areas
Straddling the Pacific Motorway, the
northern Gold Coast suburb of Ormeau is
well known for its sprawling homes and
beautiful countryside. In keeping with
the surroundings, developers in the area
have continued the theme of acreage
living throughout their residential
projects.
The fact that no more new acreage
subdivisions are allowed for Ormeau has
added value to existing properties and
meant that land being resold is
generally not on the market for very
long. Jacobs Ridge is a relatively new
estate located to the east of the
Pacific Motorway, offering a semi-rural
location and views across farmland.
Winding walkways, bicycle trails and a
feature park that includes a
multi-purpose sports course are a
feature of Jacobs Ridge. Meanwhile,
Ormeau Hills is a master planned
community which offers more than a
standard size block in the middle of
suburbia. With wide tree-lined streets,
this residential development has a
backdrop of parkland, bushland and
rolling hills with panoramic views in
all directions, including to Stradbroke
Island.
Situated directly south of Ormeau,
Ormeau Hills is an upmarket area
offering acreage plots of land in the
picturesque Gold Coast Hinterland. The
suburb borders Kingsholme, Cedar Creek
and Yatala and runs north into Ormeau.
House and land packages and acreage
sites in this area have been popular
since the mid-ninety's when the Gold
Coast hinterland became the desirable
place first and second home buyers as
well as those seeking a scenic holiday
retreat.
Established Ormeau homes on large blocks
surround the local shopping village and
are made primarily of brick and tile.
The shopping village, the Ormeau Centre,
has the essential shops - grocery store,
chemist, post office, etc. - but more
elaborate retail facilities are outside
the suburb. The only school in the
suburb is the non-mainstream Toogoolawa
School, but there are numerous schools
in surrounding suburbs such as Coomera
and Oxenford.
