Capalaba

There is no greater home on the market to raise a family than at this wonderful acreage tennis court property only 30 minutes from Brisbane's CBD. Neighbouring protected Koala nature reserve, these sprawling grounds include wide open spaces, mature gardens, a large swimming pool, floodlit championship size tennis court and a separate gymnasium or guest house. This is a paradise for families yearning for space and security, without sacrificing access to the city or the convenience of nearby amenities. A sweeping circle drive provides access to the architect-designed single-storey residence and its three secure garages with drive-through access and workshop room. Included in the vast floorplan are five bedrooms, multiple shared living areas, an executive office with custom cabinetry, large home cinema with surround sound system, and an enormous central kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, stone benchtops and an Ilve gas stove with dual electric ovens. The open-plan concept connects the kitchen to various dining spaces including an impressive screened barbecue kitchen conservatory-style room with a fireplace overlooking the swimming pool. Parents can retreat to their peaceful pocket of the home, the gorgeous master bedroom with an ensuite, private courtyard and pool terrace access. Extra luxuries are aplenty with a concealed wet bar, climate-controlled wine cellar, split-system air conditioning, high ceilings and back-to-base security. There's a resort-style feeling to 12 Melaleuca Drive, as it's a private oasis screened from the quiet road by beautiful landscaped gardens and neighboured by similar acreage estates. This extremely tightly-held enclave is only minutes from major shopping centres, the sparkling waters of Moreton Bay and motorway access to the Brisbane Airport, as well as the Gold and Sunshine coasts.
