'Harmony Hill' - Unique Hilltop Hideaway On 42 Acres
Secluded in nature, extraordinarily private and capturing breathtaking mountain views from its lush elevation, the warm, rustic features of this double brick A-frame residence, captivating outdoor areas and picturesque landholding will enliven the senses and enrich the soul.
With a covered, solid hardwood deck complete with a bathtub, an eclectic open fireplace and a bar-style seating area, purpose-built sheds, undercover truck parking and heavy-duty concrete hardstand, this property delivers quality, robust construction and a one-of-a-kind lifestyle. The ultimate escape, this purposefully designed retreat, and business base is situated 10* minutes from Dayboro's township, 20* minutes from Samford Village and approximately 45 minutes from Brisbane's CBD.
Naturally cool in summer and warm in winter, the thermally efficient home has all internal and external walls, and archways, in textured, rust-coloured cavity brick with off-white, flush mortar joints. Ceilings are lined with solid timber, and the richness of timber continues throughout, in window frames and doors, joinery and cabinetry. Virtually maintenance-free interiors will allow you to spend more time doing the things you love. Boasting a lodge-style ambience, the slate-tiled ground level features a spacious loungeroom with a stunning brick open fireplace, its tall brick chimney scaling the outside of the building. There is an air-conditioned formal dining room, a country-style kitchen with stone benchtops and servery to the dining area, a stainless-steel gas-top cooker and an abundance of inbuilt storage.
Private, the large main bedroom, situated on this lower level, is adjacent to a two-way bathroom and has two sets of built-in wardrobes, split-system air-conditioning and a contemporary-look ceiling fan. The bathroom has a cast iron clawfoot bathtub, a separate shower and a timber vanity. A timber staircase leads to the upper floor's two attic-style bedrooms.
Outdoor living and taking advantage of the mountain vistas has been the priority for the current owners. The house has a verandah at the front, and the same pole-house-style posts have been used here and in the second, versatile outdoor living area or multi-carport to one side of the house. Follow the path, past collections of vintage items and bespoke elements, to the cleverly designed, and well-executed, hardwood structure that will be the place to entertain, dine, read a book or just take in the views. Watch over wallabies grazing and listen to the birdlife that frequents this beautiful spot.
The 42 acres consist of native bushland, semi-cleared and grassed areas, with selected landscape plantings adding interest, colour and form. rainwater is collected into tanks at the house and sheds, with the home having solar panels to increase its efficiency. Configured for heavy machinery and large trucks, there is a driveway leading to the sheds and vehicle parking, with one a large barn-style, with hardstand turnaround areas made of high-strength concrete. An option exists to purchase the owner's truck and dog combination in conjunction with the house. With a contract for work already in place, you can take up where the owner leaves off.
Whether you're seeking seclusion, a quality, well-built and efficient home, mountain range-view living and entertaining or an ideal site for your heavy machinery, trucking or trade business, 'Harmony Hill' is an opportunity not to miss.
