acres of serene bush land in one of Brisbane’s finest boutique “rural -
residential” estates.
Incredibly, the home itself is positioned
on a flat, landscaped area of over one acre on the top of the mountain,
facing North East. This mountain top location affords breathtaking,
panoramic views over Brisbane, the north and south ranges and beyond to
the islands of Moreton Bay.
A true sense of arrival is
experienced upon approaching the home via automated iron gates and a
250m long driveway, flanked by stonewalls and gardens. A cobblestone
circular drive is bordered by manicured gardens and features a beautiful
central lily pond.
The home reflects grandeur and elegance
inspired by classical European style architecture. It offers absolute
privacy, completely uninhibited by neighbours and the hustle and bustle
of suburbia.
Completed in 2007, the home is constructed of limestone blocks sourced from Mt Gambier, South Australia.
Once
inside, an impressive entry hall divides spacious his and hers studies.
The hall guides guests to the focal point of the home; the “Grand
Room”. Open plan in design, the light-filled Grand Room features soaring
14 foot ceilings, oversized windows and French doors and an attractive
open wood burning fireplace. It comprises of the formal lounge, dining
and kitchen.
The kitchen is enormous and classical in its
design. It features provincial style timber cabinetry, traditional
butlers sink and stone bench tops. A striking iron chandelier hangs
above the large island bench. It showcases a comprehensive range of
appliances including Ilve oven and gas cook top, integrated coffee
machine, 4 dishwasher drawers, microwave and stainless steel double door
fridge.
Adjoining the kitchen is the media room, which includes surround sound and rear projector systems.
The
grand room opens via sliding French doors to an expansive covered
entertaining terrace. It enjoys a perfect north east aspect and the most
spectacular views of the grounds and beyond. The terrace offers direct
access to the sparkling swimming pool. Approximately 16m x 4m, the pool
area features Chelmstone paving.
The resort style facilities
continue with the property also boasting a championship north south
tennis court with permaflex synthetic grass and lighting for night
games. Ideal for entertaining, a gorgeous gazebo is located adjacent to
the court.
The main house has four bedrooms; each is generous in
size and offers beautiful views of the surrounding bush land. Two of the
family bedrooms share a cleverly designed two-way ensuite with separate
vanities.
The master bedroom is located in a private wing and
enjoys a north aspect with views to the mountains. It includes his and
her walk in robes and an elegant ensuite with a classic freestanding
bath, private shower recess and twin vanities with stone bench tops.
A fourth bedroom is reserved as a guest room and is serviced by the family bathroom. There are also two outdoor showers.
A
laundry and mudroom complete the internal facilities. A large, 80m2
enclosed garage provides housing for 3 vehicles and abundant storage
options.
One of the most versatile features of the property is
the fully self-contained 2 story guest house. Constructed in 2001, it
comprises 2 bedrooms and nursery (or large study) and a bathroom. The
ground level offers a kitchen and a spacious open plan living and dining
area which is currently used as a home gym and recreation room. There
is also a large laundry/craft room and large workshop and storage area
at the rear and covered parking for 2 more vehicles.

opportunities within the estate, the property backs on to thousands of
