5.98ha (15 acres). Exceptional property comprises light filled Queenslander where quality and size are the focus. Massive amount of shedding and water on a beautiful acreage in near city location.
LAND: 5.98ha (15 acres). It has been said before that it is hard to comprehend that such a beautiful area of scenic countryside can be so close to a major capital city. The picturesque drive up from the eastern suburbs quickly eliminates the thoughts of suburbia, particularly on entering the property. From the roadside, the driveway, which is concreted nearer to the home, rises in elevation on the approach to the home. The option here is to park undercover in the double carport or, for a more regal entrance, veer to the left and stay on the circular shaped drive and disembark at the front of the residence. This configuration allows for easy accessibility to the home as well as to the shedding facilities. The home surrounds combine all the essential components of hills living such as the selection of fruit trees, the vegetable garden and the chook houses, along with the beautiful trees and shrubs that the coolish climate allows to thrive. Naturally, anything that grows requires water and, with a bore (457ppm@1000gph) including 3 phase power, there is no shortage of ground water and this is supported by a healthy annual rainfall. The woodlot is now mature so there is also plenty of firewood for the home. Behind the shedding facilities a large flat area exists which lends itself to many future prospects such as a tennis court, perhaps a pool, an enclosed animal structure or simply space to kick the footy. The balance of the land is undulating terrain and ideal for bushwalking with the welcoming sounds of the birdlife.
RESIDENCE: The inspiration for the home came by way of a classic Queenslander exterior, with an internal focus on quality and space. The under main roof, wide, verandah, the timber balustrade and the heritage tones are an ideal complement to the inside living standards. Entering the home, the leadlight features are a nice touch. Under the 2.7m ceilings are quality fittings such as high skirtings, solid timber doors, architraves and more. For elegant formal living the combined lounge and dining room, which is 27ft in length, will easily accommodate many dinner guests or family gatherings and, with two of the five sets of French doors here, it is a beautiful light filled room. If an even larger space is required, the casual living/family and meals area is part of the open plan section. This area includes the Blackwood kitchen which is suitable for the budding gourmet chef or caterer. With massive amounts of cupboard and bench space, it is also fitted with appliances such as built-in, double, stainless steel ovens, a cook top with barbeque grill and downdraught exhaust system, built-in pantry, room for a double fridge / freezer and, of course, a dishwasher. The main bedroom has the French doors on its eastern and southern walls providing a gorgeous place to greet the day and immediate access to the verandah. The ensuite is the same size as the main bathroom thanks mainly to its double shower recess. The walk-in robe, with its generous sized shelves and drawers, will ensure no debate about who claims the available space. The second and third bedrooms are both a good size, have fitted robes and are separated by the heritage themed main bathroom. Other internal features of the home include; a hallway - with all its bookcases virtually making it a library, a rear entrance area, separate storeroom / wine storage room and a great sized laundry. The double carport brings the under main roof space to 391m2.
IMPROVEMENTS: Ever wanted or needed purposeful shedding? Near the home, shedding facilities begin with a wood shed, a tool shed and a 26m2 garden shed. The larger sheds are ideal as a storage shed, a workshop - this shed being 118m2 with high clearance doors, power and concrete floor and a 123m2 shed also having power and concrete floor. With the bore servicing the garden, the rainwater is left for the home and, with so much combined roof space, you can quickly collect the water and store it in the enormous concrete tank. In addition two more tanks now make the storage capacity 79,000 gallons (over 300,000 litres) plus the 11,000 gallon bore header tank.
