408 Rockonia Road, Koongal QLD 4701

This stunningly beautiful highset Queenslander sits on 4,047m2 (1 acre) of fully fenced land in a very lush and quiet area on Rockonia Road with neighbours on one side and Mark Hinchliff Park on the other. The impressive wide butterfly staircase with wrought iron panels leads up to the wide timber verandahs on the front and 2 sides, with wonderful lacework surrounding the verandahs. The gorgeous front door opens to a wide hallway, with 4 large, air-conditioned bedrooms, all with French doors and screen doors, opening out onto the verandahs. The master bedroom includes an ensuite and a sizeable walk-in robe (2-way).

The 12 ft ceilings feature throughout, with pine floors and tongue and groove walls adding to the warmth and charm of this very impressive home.
The lounge sits in the centre of the home with French doors to the east verandah, allowing the breezes to flow throughout the home. A beautifully designed kitchen with timber benchtops has recently been installed, in keeping with the style of the home, including an incredible Belling dual fuel cooker and rangehood, a double farmhouse sink and a hidden dishwasher. There is a large walk-in pantry and a separate dining room. Just off the kitchen is a practical 'storeroom' with kitchen cupboards and sink. The family bathroom is a great size with a shower and bath and a separate toilet.
Stairs lead downstairs from the west side verandah to a huge, concreted area for 5 cars or perfect if you want to build more rooms. There's a laundry with kitchenette, a separate shower and separate toilet plus a substantial workshop, that would make the perfect guest accommodation or working from home opportunity.

The property offers outstanding street appeal with the white picket fence and an arbor with double gates at the entrance to a sandstone pathway leading down to the house and surrounded by gorgeous gardens and powered garden lights. A gated driveway on either side and fenced from the sides of the home with a large gate for vehicle access to the backyard on one side and a pedestrian gate on the other making it perfect if you have dogs.
Sit and relax in the fire pit area, the perfect place to be on a cold winter's night with a glass of red. The amazing gardens and paths leading you around the grounds are breath takingly gorgeous and you will find it hard to imagine that you are only a few minutes' drive to the shops. In amongst this garden oasis is the most beautiful greenhouse and a garden rotunda.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, as the home was built in 1885 near the Cathedral and moved from the Southside in 1982, when the home has been raised to legal height, concreted under with steel posts and beams. The roof has been replaced and insulated in 2021.
