This exceptional award winning property will be sold to a lucky buyer for way below replacement value.
'Darlana' combines international architectural design with relaxed country living on a generous scale, and all within a walk or a minute in the car to major supermarkets, shops, cafes, schools and the local library, or just 15 minutes to Toowoomba.
The property sits on just under an acre of established and native gardens, offering space without the work of a huge amount of land. It is discreetly positioned at the end of a quiet no through road, with one of Highfield's most beautiful nature walks starting directly across the street.
The home was built by one of Australia's most awarded builders and has appeared on major TV news channels and newspapers, featured in Home Beautiful magazine, listed by the Courier-Mail as one of Queensland's 50 best homes, and most recently in a curated list of the world's most beautiful Hamptons homes in Hamptons Homes magazine.

Premium brands and quality finishes have been used throughout the home.
There are few open plan living room designs in Australia that can rival the Great Room in 'Darlana'. The Master Builder's Queensland Kitchen of the Year 2020, expansive living area, library, and two dining areas are presided over by soaring 5 and 6 metre high ceilings.
A view of the gardens and pool is obscured only by the incredible fireplace. The touch of a button and the Grand Finals' sized TV rises from the custom made cabinet with the help of an automated TV lift. Another touch of a button and it disappears, restoring the unobstructed view.
There is undercover parking for two cars, space down the back for another shed, and two more uncovered parking spots off the driveway, plus a concealed garden storage shed, air-conditioned workshop and plenty of overhead garage space for suspended storage.
