63 McMullen Road Brookfield QLD 4069
Within dress-circle Brookfield, on a prime north-facing hilltop with inspiring 360 degree views, expect something special. 'Arcadia' is a semi-rural lifestyle resort on 2.7 acres, architecturally designed by Holgar & Holgar for a growing family. Located 15 minutes to major shopping centres and 25 minutes to Brisbane Airport. A Council bus stops at the end of the street.
'Arcadia' boasts a generous, very liveable family home of 5+ bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, powder room, entertainment areas, office, 6 car spaces, horse facilities, 25m pool, tennis court, tool shed, chicken run, vineyard, fruit trees and a majestic fig tree set within tended gardens. All facilities are planned for easy accessibility and supervision.
Echoes of Provence respect Australian architectural traditions with materials, natural colours, wide overhangs, extensive glass, northerly aspect for cooling breezes and ample connections to the outdoors. On approach, the unique character of the home is evident. A pebbled forecourt, fringed by shade trees and a vineyard, speaks unmistakably of a country estate. A feature wall envelops a striking turret and sweeps into the entry where a handmade timber door opens to the foyer and wide spiral stair. A sense of discovery beckons.
Large windows frame views from every room. A grand piano, paintings, a fireplace and library grace the living room. The formal dining room seats 12. A spacious master retreat with adjacent nook captures views of flowering jasmine, magnolias, frangipani, silky oaks and circular hedges. The retreat is accompanied by a generous ensuite, cedar-lined sauna, claw-foot bath and walk-in-robe. A granite-topped kitchen is the heart of the home, attended by a casual dining area and adjacent lounge. A further bedroom wing, separated from the parents, is served by a 3-way bathroom with separate toilet, directly accessible from the outdoor entertaining area and pool. Large multi-purpose areas on both levels complete the house. A self-contained flat upstairs at the eastern end and a 45 sqm office at the west offer many options. The house has a 3.5kW PV system and solar hot water.
Serenity, beauty and practicality are the hallmarks of this property. Majestic views, big skies, resort facilities and room-to-move or expand. All on the doorstep of Brisbane. There is no place like Brookfield. There is no place like 'Arcadia'. A rare find.
