Without a doubt this is one of smartest designs for family living that our agents have ever seen with its multiple architectural features that complement the unique location. This is simply a great place to live!

It begins at the street in the foothills of Buderim and the many prestige properties in close proximity. Like a gatehouse, the original 2 bedroom home sits at the entry and can have multiple uses including an art or music studio, or it could be rented out or even made into a home for a small business. The wide circular driveway leads past the 3 bay garage on to the portico entrance that gives you and your guests all weather protection when leaving the car and makes coming and going a daily pleasure.

Across the polished hardwood walkway the double entry doors draw the eye to the feature trees beyond the back veranda and present an entrance foyer connecting the two central pavilions. The living precinct encompasses oversize areas for dining, kitchen and one of three family living areas. Overhead the clerestory ceiling brings daylight and starlight in, adding to the feeling of spaciousness and acknowledgement of clever architecture by designer Noel Gardner.

The Master-chef kitchen brings enjoyment to the preparation of gourmet food for yourselves and guests. It features Ceaserstone bench tops on the island and terrace servery with the white quartz perfectly toned to the floor tiles and wooden cupboards. The multi-function Falcon oven from England can inspire the hidden chef in anyone while on the wall the microwave doubles as a grill and convection oven. Family lunches can get quite noisy with the bi-fold kitchen windows opening to the tables in the sheltered terrace area. Other times will see the dining room used and with close to 5m width and depth there is plenty of room to seat a Bakers dozen. In fact a recent wedding party here had 110 guests comfortably placed.

Down the hall each of the four bedrooms has been cleverly placed to present an uninterrupted vista over the lawns to the western billabong with one facing north. These are generous sized rooms all with ducted air conditioning in a separate system. The master suite on the north wing has a walk right in and turn left or right wardrobe and an oversized ensuite with double sinks and the best water pressure on the coast. High contoured ceilings impress the sense of luxury living and the private outlook to the trees with surround sound birdsong belies the fact you are only minutes to the CBD and the Highway. The 2nd bedroom could easily be converted to an in-home cinema or media room.

The tiled deck borders the three generous lounge areas in the home. The central living area has a fireplace and is perfectly placed for a quiet read or game of cards with stacker doors opening to the deck. Off to the driveway side of this room the 4m x 3m study that has double bench desks and shelving; perfect for a home office. The games room with wet bar adjoins - perfect for the billiards table and a great space to share a few laughs with family and friends or watch the game on the weekend.

The internal entrance to the in-house apartment is accessed through the games room though it does have an external entrance to the driveway. The 65 sqm apartment is metered separately and has its own air-conditioning and gas hot water, making it perfect for guests or tenants or adult children. There is a large double bedroom with access to the well-appointed ensuite through the walk in wardrobe. Not only does the apartment have a large living area, it has a private balcony and the kitchen has plenty of space for a table and furniture.

While the home is impressive the four acre setting is equally remarkable. Almost everywhere in the home views the expansive lush green grass to the forested billabong meandering north to Eudlo Creek. Two bridges cross over to the well established and fenced paddocks currently used for horse training. It is a gardener's heaven with a forest path through the tall hardwood trees, birds nest ferns, palms and sawmill artefacts alongside the landscaped creek. Specimen trees stand proud in the foreground changing colour with the seasons.

The highest quality finishes are apparent throughout the home. Likewise outside, the Quickntuff lightweight masonry panels used for cladding provide 90/90/90 fire resistance as well as high thermal and acoustic values. Utility and upkeep costs are minimized with rainwater tanks, eco-tank, a water bore, 5Kw solar power and 250L solar hot water. The jumbo sized vege garden is irrigated and well established for feeding the whole team.
This location has many advantages. A 5 minute walk from here is an entry to Sunshine Coast Grammar School, arguably one of the best on the coast while Flinders College, Chancellor and Immanuel are not far away. In a 5 minute drive you can be at the doctors in Buderim Township or at the Forest Glen boutique shopping precinct, famous for organic produce and award winning fish and chips. Likewise, in 5 minutes you can be on the Bruce Highway heading to Brisbane or halfway to the coast
