208 Sides Road, Julatten QLD 4871

Immaculate; private; and something that extra bit special. Welcome to 'that' property - 208 Sides Road - a masterpiece of design and detail nestled within Julatten's temperate surrounds.
The wide winding concrete driveway is the first indication of what lies within, past the parkland-style gardens that gently slope away towards a permanent stream on one side and unspoiled natural vegetation on the other - some 53 acres in total.
This approach provides a fitting prelude to the impeccably finished, award winning, Chris Van Dyke-designed timber home that rises to complement its natural surroundings.

From the individually selected timber structural poles to the wide breezy verandah, large louvered windows, polished spotted gum flooring and soaring exposed beam ceilings, the features are numerous and immaculately presented.
A large laundry and bathroom on the ground level makes way for the main staircase that ascends to the expansive open plan living area; a combined kitchen, lounge, dining and library space that opens out onto the sprawling verandah with its views over the property, and further to Black Mountain.

Two of the home's three bedrooms and the family bathroom are also located off this living space, as is a secondary staircase that takes things to another level - the loft that is reserved for the master bedroom and bathroom suite.

Outside, the same attention to detail can be found in the 4-bay, 135m2 Colourbond shed that neatly and securely houses vehicles and machinery as required.
Combining space and privacy, this property is not only a sanctuary for t
