Ashmore QLD 4214

Designed with an open budget and an inspired brief, this property has been thoughtfully fashioned to invoke a warmth and depth found only within the walls of a treasured family home. Many of the home's natural materials are recycled, providing a worn, used appeal steeped in heritage that gives the home a heartbeat beyond its history. The beautiful solid timber floorboards, beams and joists are salvaged from a 100-year-old heritage building and contrast perfectly with the modern feel of bold Calacatta marble, and Tuscan tiles, along with natural stone, and rendered brickwork.

At every turn there are carefully crafted spaces to explore, and nooks to relax in. The home features multiple living areas including a stunning formal living area with a vaulted ceiling, a three-tier crystal chandelier, and a 4.8 metre, two-way stone fireplace - the perfect place to cozy up in on a crisp winter's afternoon. If getting lost in a good book is on the agenda, the library is the ideal retreat, complete with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a roller ladder. The master bedroom is as extravagant as it is romantic, featuring a spacious bathroom complete with a tub, a walk-in robe, and a stately sitting area featuring a bay window overlooking the rolling lawns and lush, manicured gardens. A balcony opens up to the sounds of the river below providing the perfect place to watch the sun setting beyond the hinterland. For occasions that call for entertaining, the property is well-equipped to handle a guest list ranging from a five to 500. Not only is the gourmet kitchen equipped with the very best appliances, it also has a scullery, a butler's pantry, and a subterranean wine cellar. Making the most of the idyllic location, the property opens up in an instant with expansive timber decks connecting the interiors to the sprawling outdoors including the 25m lap pool and the gardens beyond to the river's edge.

There is another grand entertaining option with the poolside 'fun house' - which serves as a hub for alfresco entertaining. Complete with a deck, and close by the riverfront fire pit, this is the ideal place to entertain and create memories in the lap of luxury. There is also a separate guesthouse which has two bedrooms, a lounge room, a three-car garage and a workshop. This dwelling supports multigenerational family living and is perfect for comfortably housing extended family, guests, or staff to stay on-site. As one of only 12 waterfront homes on the exclusive stretch of the Nerang River this residence provides a chance to transcend the ordinary and embrace a cherished legacy. A piece of paradise awaits; a sanctuary where nature and heritage converge in perfect harmony.
