Take a step back in time as you enter this fully-renovated stately colonial Queenslander, sitting graciously amid the country splendour of endless rural views and formal gardens, beautifully framed by the mountains at your back door. This is paradise in the country!
Originally built in St Lucia in 1908, the elegant residence (relocated to its current site in the late 1990s) is a stunning example of the craftsmanship and care that went into buildings of that period. The home has been lovingly restored and maintained, capturing the beautiful history and character details of the era like VJ walls, ornate fretwork, claw foot bath, lofty 11ft ceilings, bespoke ceiling roses, original wide hoop pine floorboards, and lovely timber French doors inviting you out to the deep verandah - the perfect vantage point for taking in sweeping rural and mountain views, or relaxing with a good book.
Spanning two levels, the property offers a wealth of living and entertaining spaces, including the enormous entertainer's deck overlooking the sparkling pool and formal gardens, with fragrant star jasmine hedges (their scent is an absolute delight on warm summer nights!) guiding your eye to the mountain vista beyond. Inside off the deck, the large open plan country kitchen with quality Smeg and Bosch appliances and wood-burning stove opens onto relaxed dining and living spaces.
While enjoying the luxury of ducted air conditioning throughout and a cosy wood burning fireplace cleverly designed to warm both levels of the residence, the home has been designed for the Queensland climate, with plantation shutters allowing for cross ventilation to welcome in cool summer breezes and fresh mountain air.
The fully-fenced, pet-safe 3.8-acre property includes a spacious paddock (perfect for a pony or two), 9x9 shed, chook palace and cute cubby house, while the low maintenance gardens have been lovingly tended to allow the mature fruit trees to thrive, giving you a plentiful harvest of lemons, limes, oranges, mandarins and passion-fruit every summer, in addition to the productive raised veggie bed.
The current owners were drawn to the peace and tranquillity of the property – often, the only sounds are the pleasant calls of the vibrant bird life, including colourful rosellas and charming kookaburras, that visit the feeders dotted across the property for their daily treat.
This lovely family home has been fully renovated and beautifully cared for, leaving nothing for the new owners to do but relax and enjoy this rural retreat. Contact Chelsea Perry of Craig Doyle Samford for your opportunity to inspect this lovely home.
