Every once in a while, a property takes your breath away. This is it.
Picture exclusive Banyan Estate, Admire the tall entrance gates opening to reveal a dramatic circular driveway sculpted by nature's best verdant offerings, centrepiece Poinciana, botanical style gardens with grand wide arboured 150yr old Moreton Bay fig, mature mango trees and tropical magnolias.
Stealing the limelight in the pebbled forecourt fringed by box hedging is a gracious Queenslander-inspired residence, almost encircled by verandah and undoubtedly luxury everything, a fitting homage to Australia's cultural past.
Open the white timber glass paned door to a sense of alluring elegance with lofty vaulted ceilings, VJ and dado features, French doors opening from most rooms, also running the width of the substantial living room, inviting brilliant natural light to shadow dance over beautiful blackbutt flooring. Note the wood-burning fireplace, custom cabinetry, dedicated dining area, west wing lounge, plentiful plantation shutters, wispy sheers and grand kitchen which is commensurate in size and functionality to everything about the Estate.
There are three extra-long stone-topped benches including centre island, walk-n pantry with storage aplenty and top-end appliances any wannabe Jamie Oliver would adore, also the added advantage of an outdoor kitchen on the expansive terrace exemplifying absolute magnetism of the great outdoors.
What a spectacular sight. Below is the luminescent mosaic tiled pool, separate spa plus pool house with sun terrace, steam room, sauna and gym.
Look beyond to the meandering fresh water Six Mile Creek with platypus habitats, which borders the easy 4.3ha estate. Abutting are four paddocks, an arena, horse shelters and water troughs, designed for equestrian pursuits. There are two lily-covered dams. The larger known as party central - not surprising given it has a jetty, camp kitchen, fire pit, and a 100m zipline … just for fun!
There are four bedrooms in the main residence. The east wing premier suite retreat may be accessed off the hallway or a private entry from the verandah, walkway and carport. It's carpeted, has a two-way walk-in robe ensuite bathroom with stone and double basin-topped timber cabinetry, drencher shower and free-standing oval bath tub looking out to Bunya pines, pool and dams. Nearby is the fourth bedroom whilst in the south wing are two bedrooms with ensuites.
On the south-east side of the lush landholding with endless skies and a backdrop encompassing the majestic natural asset of Mount Cooroy, are numerous additional attributes. The newly renovated guest cottage is fully self-contained, similarly the near new Tiny House with loft bedroom.
Within the three-bay stable is a tack room and wash bay and the barn/garage has a mezzanine, extra-high ceiling and roller door.
Creative cooks will delight in the manicured gardens especially the shade house with above ground garden beds, numerous fruits including passionfruit, lychees, pawpaw, mango and citrus, as well as fresh eggs from the chicken coop with fenced yard.
"Relish the thought of semi-rural splendour, and so much more, in this tightly held prestige pocket of Cooroy Mountain," extols Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Cameron Urquhart.
"Banyan Estate offers the finest of hinterland living, without sacrificing access to the many attractions in the Noosa region shire. Noosa Main Beach is only a 25-minute away, it's 15-minutes to Gympie Terrace for café aficionados, also the Noosa River for boating and fishing, and 7-scenic minutes to vibrant Cooroy with major amenities and services, or maybe cycle, horse ride or walk throughout the hinterland Noosa Trail Network.
