This luxurious family home was thoughtfully designed to complement the beautiful natural surroundings and built by the current owner in 2020. With a sprawling outdoor vista, this magnificent 2.5 acre (1 hectare) property has all the feeling of a bush retreat, and it is less than 10km to the CBD. With two double storey sections on either side of the ridge and a central single storey perched on the ridge the design is sympathetic with the natural slope and character of the land. The colour palette draws inspiration from the surrounding scenery bringing the warmth and texture of nature inside to meet modern clean lines and functionality. The native wildlife is abundant, with wallabies grazing on the lawn, echidnas digging in the garden, regular visits from King Parrots and many more local inhabitants.
To find a lifestyle home, buyers often find themselves moving further away from the CBD and compromising on the distance from local amenities to achieve the peace and tranquility they are searching for. This home offers the best of both worlds with Indooroopilly shopping centre located within an 8 min drive, and Kenmore shops are within 3km and offer 3 major supermarkets, schools, restaurants, cafes, doctors etc.
As you approach the end of the cul-de-sac you are swept away up the long bitumen driveway into the natural native bush to the ultimate entertainer. Positioned in a private and elevated position overlooking the treetops and embracing the stunning sunsets sits your new home. Natural spotted-gum timber flooring and floor to ceiling tiling combined with generous proportions exudes luxury. Imagine entertaining family and friends on the huge deck which overlooks the sparkling inground pool and firepit with views to Mt Coot-Tha. The pool has a swim jet for the serious swimmers and reverse cycle heat pump, so you can enjoy the water all year round.
The design of the house allows for separation and privacy for the bedrooms whilst the centre of the house is a huge central living area with the kitchen as the hub for family time or entertaining. The family orientated open plan living, kitchen and dining spaces are generous in size and versatile in use offering formal and informal areas. A fully opening, operable wall provides an opportunity for seamless transition between the inside and outside, allowing for the entire family to take advantage of the Queensland lifestyle and climate. Designed with comfort in mind, high ceilings and high-level louvres take advantage of the cross ventilation of breezes. There is also a fully ducted air-conditioning and heating system for when you want to choose the climate to suit you.
The gourmet kitchen is a Chef's dream incorporating a thoughtful layout allowing the cook to be included whilst entertaining. The oversized breakfast bar highlights the kitchen as the hub of the house and is perfect for guests to sit and chat without compromising on preparation space as there is a large island bench and a full-length bench with induction and gas cooktops. The kitchen comes fully equipped with 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, double sink, Zip tap, plentiful storage space and a large Butler's pantry. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or preparing a meal for your family, this kitchen will exceed your expectations.
The bedroom areas are purposefully divided such that the master suite and guest bedroom are tucked away from the three other main bedrooms. All the bedrooms are oversized with built in cupboards and stylish fixtures and finishes in all the bathrooms. The Southern wing of the home on the upper level contains the parents' retreat. It incorporates a generous master bedroom with adjacent sitting area/home office, ideal for relaxing and taking in the view from the private balcony. In addition, there is a huge walk-in robe and stylish ensuite with floor to ceiling tiles, double vanity and walk in shower. Adjacent is the guest bedroom with its own ensuite and built in robe. On the lower level a rumpus room/media room ideal for family movies nights and a fully insulated and climate-controlled wine cellar with storage for 1000 bottles, as well as an oversized double garage completes this area.
The Northern wing provides space for the rest of the family. On the upper level, 3 bedrooms all with built in robes and a family bathroom. This area has a central rumpus room ideal for when the kids have friends over. On the lower level is a fully self-contained Granny flat which offers a good size living and dining area plus large kitchen. The bedroom features built in robe and ensuite. The area offers separate access making it ideal for returning family members or long-term overseas visitors. Also on this level is a multipurpose space, the laundry which has plentiful storage and an additional bathroom servicing the pool.
The engineered retaining walls are all sandstone and feature curves following the natural flow of the land, the gardens are low maintenance native trees and grasses to attract the native fauna. The well-constructed vegetable patch with bird netting and push button watering system will supply you with your own home-grown vegetables for all seasons. The current owners did have plans to add a tennis court, but for now this is currently a blank canvas to add your own sporting dreams be it tennis, soccer or basketball, or, alternatively, a flat grassed area for the kids and pets. The "Man Cave" (12m x 6m) completes this piece of paradise with power and water making for great workshop space or storage for your toys. With 15kW solar panels and 33,000 L water storage, there is nothing left to do to get away from the grind of everyday life and enjoy the peace and quiet.
