Introducing the award winning 'Chateau Immanuel'... blending the charm of Tuscan design with Hollywood opulence. The architecture evokes both timeless elegance and a sense of grandeur, offering a beautiful mix of Old World charm and modern luxury.
Situated in a tightly held, premier pocket of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, this remarkable, picturesque 10 acre estate feels a world away and yet is so close to the Coast's best schools, shops, services and beaches.
As you drive through the private security gates and along the winding treelined driveway, you cannot help but marvel at the beautifully manicured gardens and lawns and the glistening lake.
At the end of the driveway, beyond the striking water feature and turning circle, stands the palatial five bedroom, six bathroom 1,340sqm residence. Custom built for the current owners and taking over two years to construct, upon its completion in 2012, Chateau Immanuel was awarded the coveted 'Master Builders Sunshine Coast House of the Year'!
Spread across two impressive wings, the meticulously maintained grand home features soaring ceilings, Italian flagstone flooring, French chandeliers and light fittings, Portuguese limestone fireplaces, intricate ceiling roses, walls painstakingly hand painted using a rare two brush technique and endless views across the manicured gardens, lake and lap pool.
Old-worldly wonder combines seamlessly with modern-day comforts like ducted air conditioning, ducted vacuum points, integrated sound, alarm and security systems and a 10kw solar system with automatic generator backup.
The main wing of the home comprises a grand entryway with oversized double doors and towering nine metre ceilings that leads though to a reception area, formal living room, family room and dining room, all with hand carved stone fireplaces and floor to ceiling European timber framed windows.
The adjoining kitchen is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing custom stone benchtops, a two-room pantry (yes, two rooms!), double industrial oven, gas cooktop and rangehood and gorgeous garden vistas.
An expansive central island is perfect for casual family meals and coffee with friends and it's easy to imagine yourself in this decadent space preparing a gourmet extravaganza and enjoying a tipple of Champagne or Chianti.
An array of bifold doors connect the kitchen and living spaces to the sprawling, Tuscan inspired alfresco entertaining area that boasts multiple seating areas, stone fireplace, water feature, bronze chandeliers and ceiling fans, integrated kitchen, pergola with plush, billowing curtains and which overlooks the sparkling 14m x 6.5m pool and gazebo. Magnifique!
