Here is an exceptional way of life. The architect designed, northeast facing home and guest house are filled with light and the beauty of the bush. The guest house provides extra space or a potential income stream, while outside there's room to ride, play and explore.
In 2001, the owners (then part of an extended family) briefed renowned architect Glen Mallet of Nettleton Tribe to design 2 separate homes that embrace the bushland referencing Sunshine Coast beach house vernacular.
By positioning each home on either side of the pool, and facing them northeast towards the trees, Mallet created the ideal relationship between the 2 homes and their landscape.
The pool is an idyllic element within the bush setting and a focal point for both homes. In summer, the trees create a mesmerising backdrop for a dip in the pool. In winter, shafts of sunlight slant through the mist across the water.
Low maintenance, durable materials including marine grade plywood, Colorbond® feature walls, hardwood floors and Zincalume® roofing blend with the colours and textures of the bush. Zincalume® ensures the much loved Queensland sound of rain on the roof.
Enter the guest house and feel immersed in the trees. Glass sliding doors and high set windows open to the trees and the private verandah that joins the pool.
The kitchen is beautifully appointed with European appliances, a granite bench top and ample storage. The kitchen flows out to the open plan living-dining-study area.
The Super King sized bedroom and the Queen sized bedroom both have ensuites. One ensuite opens to become a guest bathroom when needed.
Downstairs is the guest house laundry, private paved area and carport.
Enter the main house and step into a void filled with views and sunlight.
The lounge-dining area is encircled by glass sliding doors opening to wide verandahs and the bush. At any time in any season, there is a perfect place to sit and relax or to entertain family and friends.
The entertainer's kitchen, complete with European appliances, is function meets form. The impressive cooktop is in the central island bench for ease of use. To keep the chef company, a second granite bench top has an overhang that comfortably seats 6. A vast walk in pantry is within easy reach. The kitchen is well positioned to cater for all indoor/outdoor living areas.
The home office is ideally located at the entrance of the home. It converts into a sitting room that opens to the adjoining King sized bedroom and bathroom when needed.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is Super King sized with a walk in robe, built in robe and a generous ensuite. Views abound to the garden, trees and sky. In summer, breezes cool the air. On winter mornings, dappled sunshine filters in.
A King sized bedroom and a Queen sized bedroom, both with views and built in robes, share a 3 way bathroom.
Back on ground level, internal stairs connect to storage areas, an undercroft and the garage. There is potential here to have an external home office.
Outside, the drought resistant garden features vegetable gardens, beautiful trees and birdlife.
At dawn, the raucous chorus of kookaburras is followed by a celebration of birdsong. During the day, elusive whip birds call and reply. At night, you hear the soothing hoot of boobook owls.
The property has town water and 50,000 litres of tank water. The rural shed includes a separate, air conditioned room.
The two paddocks are fully fenced for horses. From the bottom paddock, you can't see the house – only the bush. After heavy rain, you can hear the rush of the creek and the cacophony of frogs.
Life at 40 Creekwood Place feels miles away and yet every amenity imaginable is close by.
Pullenvale State School and Pullenvale Hall are an easy drive down the road. Brookfield's showground, hall, pony club, farmers' markets, school and “Brookie” store are also nearby. You can be in Kenmore Village in around 7 minutes and the CBD in around 23 minutes.
The high calibre of this property makes it a rare find. Space, tranquility and privacy are assured. The seamless integration of both homes with their bush setting is uplifting. The size and quality of the guest house make it an excellent asset however you choose to use it. Inspect as soon as you can.
