Description
Awarded as Queensland's finest example of sustainable urban development and best residential subdivision. The Ecovillage at Currumbin offers something inspirational ... the chance to live a natural lifestyle within a vibrant community atmosphere amidst one of Australia's most liveable cities.

Embraced within picturesque Currumbin Valley and with world heritage rainforests providing a lush back drop. The Ecovillage is located just 7 minutes and 7km from one of the Gold Coast's most exceptional beaches.
The location makes it possible to live amidst nature while still being just a stone's throw of city amenities. With sustainability as the goal, convenience facilities are included in a Village Centre, so that residents can spend less time commuting and more time simply enjoying life.
The Ecovillage concept embraces the land, aiming to enhance what is already beautiful ... a piece of paradise, where you can have the comforts of contemporary life within the vibrant Gold Coast city yet harvest the many benefits of a world class ecovillage.
The first stage of The Ecovillage (Creek Ecohamlets) has experienced strong interest and sales with the second stage "Valley Terraces" are selling now. Visit the Interpretive Centre and find out about these two stages and the "Highlands" to be released late this year.
