Where can you be less than 10km to the CBD yet embraced by the calming magic of nature? Or have a riverfront wildlife sanctuary as your backyard, yet be within 10 minutes' drive to the finest schools, shopping, cafes and lifestyle offerings in Brisbane?
Welcome to the ideal Jesmond Road address in distinguished Fig Tree Pocket - where tranquility and semi-rural charm combine with magnificent facilities to create an enviable lifestyle for you and an idyllic childhood for your children.
Surrounded by quality, high-end homes, this property offers an executive setting with a seamless, easy flow between indoor and outdoor living, perfect for entertaining. Whether you seek comfort and calm or activity and energy at home, this home offers a place for every mood, and even every generation.
Thoughtfully designed and lovingly crafted, this home's unique features add ease and adaptability to your family's changing needs. The massive ground-floor bedroom with ensuite provides a solution for grandparents, au pairs, guests, or teenaged children; yet with its separate direct entry, can also be used for a home-based business while still providing for perfect privacy and separation for the family.
Where better to give your children a memorable and safe childhood where they can:
Run and play in the expansive yard or splash in the salt-water pool, all within direct view of the kitchen and study;
Forget the electronics, and walk next door to a world-renowned sanctuary, and interact with our native wildlife;
Walk to school (Montessori, Glenleighden or Fig Tree Pocket SS); or several other top quality private schools are all within a 10-15 minute drive;
Play in the local Biamba Yambi park, fish for tadpoles in the pond, or watch the horses at the equestrian grounds around the corner.
And give yourself a magic lifestyle where you can:
Enjoy a luxurious home surrounded by greenery and the sound of nature, yet with easy and quick access to everything; this location means you easily avoid the gridlock of Moggill Rd!
Wander across the road on a lazy Sunday morning and enjoy a coffee in the Riverside Caf overlooking a beautiful, leafy stretch of the river. Or walk the kids over to the Friday markets in the Lone Pine forecourt and enjoy food stalls and a family movie.
Entertain with ease from your beautiful kitchen, an inviting space opening to the patio, dining and living areas and equipped with quality finishes and European appliances including an induction cooktop, a breakfast bar, Caesarstone benchtop with waterfall ends and a workspace nook.
Park your boat in the ample space beside the garage and launch off the boat ramp just a few minutes' drive down the road;
Take scenic, tranquil walks along the river following walking trails just minutes' walk from your door. Or take a picnic lunch across the road on the river, surrounded by lush greenery and magical scenery.
Listen to the calming sound of the pool's cascading waterfall while relaxing on the spacious patio or enjoying a drink with friends.
