ocean views and a green thumb’s pride and joy…69B Woodgee St, Currumbin
A spectacular garden worth hundreds of thousands of dollars has hit the market — with a “free” oceanview home included.
The house at 69B Woodgee Street, Currumbin has become a local landmark for its jaw-dropping botanical display, cultivated over 20 years by its green thumb owner, Mervyn Druker.
It’s prompted Ray White Malan + Co agent Isabella Burns to adopt an unconventional strategy for a multimillion-dollar beachside property, pitching the three-storey home as a bonus to its front yard.
The owner has planted thousands of dollars worth of succulents and bromeliads
“Buy the garden, and we’ll give the lucky buyer the house for free,” Ms Burns said.
“You often hear agents talk about street appeal, this is the definition of that.
“In all seriousness, the home is incredible, offering an unmatched view of Currumbin beach from almost every room. ”
Mr Druker is ready to downsize, leaving behind a serious horticultural legacy after years tending to an intricate, sprawling display of bromeliads and succulents.
Inside the three-storey home
“My guess is there’s thousands of plants in there, and they’d probably be worth several hundred thousand dollars if you bought them individually from a nursery,” he said.
“People often detour past it on their morning walks to see it in full bloom – I’m very proud of the garden.
“I’ve spent the best part of 20 years planting those bromeliads and succulents, and I have to admit, it’s not a bad view looking back towards the Alley.”
The views aren’t half bad either
