Spanning 4.51 hectares running from mountain ridge to Samford Valley, "Bramare" offers a spectacular tree change only 30 minutes from Brisbane CBD. With a perfect north-east aspect, this home has sweeping views over Samford Valley, across to the white sands of Moreton Island and up to the Glass House Mountains and evening lights of Caloundra.
A beautiful retreat abutting D'Aguilar National Park, the property has the perfect vantage for spectacular sunrises, starry night skies and the many moods of the mountain and valley - from the perfectly aligned afternoon light receding along the valley floor, to sunlit mornings overlooking the valley carpeted in cloud, to being amid the cloud with the trees shrouded in mist, to summer storms rolling across the wide horizon.
Built and designed by an architect as a home for his family, where they lived for more 30 years. The property's Italian name means to yearn for, to crave, to long for. Much-loved, "Bramare" is a home to which one yearns to return.
Entering the lounge room with raked timber ceilings, hardwood floors, bi-fold doors opening to the front and rear decks, a wood-burning fireplace and custom-made bookshelves, this inviting space can be fully opened up on both sides to the views and cooling summer sea breezes or made warm and cosy with a roaring fire on winter evenings.
Parquetry flooring in the entry and hallway leads to the dining room and gourmet kitchen, which captures 270-degree vistas. Featuring floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, Caesar stone benchtops, a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry, the resident chef will enjoy the stunning views over the valley or look out to the gardens and native kangaroo grass beyond.
Additional features include:
- An infinity-edge pool with glorious views
- A study (or a separate living/dining area) with hardwood floors adjoining the lounge and kitchen
- Three upper-level bedrooms with large sliding glass windows to capture the views
- The master suite with walk-through robe leading to the ensuite with rainfall shower and picture window
- On the ground floor, a spacious study and library with custom-built shelving and floor to ceiling glass sliding doors leading to a covered sitting area with views over the pool, Samford Valley and beyond
