What an exceptional residence, and property, this is. Perched on its own private hilltop, two minutes from Dayboro, from the moment you arrive, it is apparent that what you are to discover is very special. Designed without compromise and constructed by award-winning, master builder Rick Launder 20 years ago, this substantial brick homestead is being offered for sale for the very first time.
It was a Moreton Bay fig tree on the property, estimated at over 150 years old, and the 360 panoramas of the surrounding D'Aguilar Ranges that drew the owners to explore building possibilities so that they could raise their children here. A true labour of love, the picturesque 10 acres have been planted over the years with an array of ornamental trees creating changing colour displays across the seasons.
Wherever you are, either inside the home or out, the views are spectacular. Vast areas of lawn grant play and games spaces for young and old, with garden rooms offering locations for picnics and parties. There is a large 3-bay plus carport shed, 3-phase power and solar energy efficiency, over 76,500 litres of total water storage and plenty of room for horses, cattle or potential cottage-style accommodation.
The voluminous interiors of this sprawling, elevated residence contain a formal entrance hall and adjoining loungeroom, casual family living, dining and kitchen areas with soaring ceilings, a children's wing with a versatile rumpus/study and a grand, privately situated master suite. Four of the five generously dimensioned bedrooms have walk-in robes, with the built-in fifth ideal for use as an office or a nursery.
Polished timber floors flow throughout, with the master bedroom having plush carpet. Extra-wide, hardwood-decked verandahs can be found on all sides of the house, with all rooms having direct access to these carefree relaxation and entertaining areas. Whether gathering around the dining table or seated at the breakfast bar while dinner is being prepared in the enormous kitchen, this home is all about family.
There are Bosch appliances including a 5-burner gas cooktop and wall oven, a large Fisher and Paykel DishDrawer, a walk-in pantry and extraordinary levels of storage. An attic ladder gives access to a storage area with a sturdy floor within the roof space. Bathrooms provide separate amenity zones for busy families, with the master retreat's ensuite having been renovated more recently.
With outlooks that you'll never tire of, take in vistas of Ocean View and Mount Pleasant, enjoy the first light of day and witness stunning sunsets. Only a short drive into the township, your everyday needs are covered, with an IGA supermarket, pharmacy, gourmet delicacies, cafés and rural stores, to name a few. Brisbane's CBD is less than an hour away by car.
