10 Sheppards Rd, Lake Manchester is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 5 parking spaces and was built in 2002. The property has a land size of 607600m2 and floor size of 349m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in April 2015.
This home is an extremely rare find indeed. In absolutely any location this luxury modern home would gather accolades but in this setting, on the edge of the picturesque D'Aguilar Range, the only words to describe it are "spectacular" and "breath-taking". Perched on a magnificent hilltop, the view from every window is amazing and there are no neighbours in eyesight or earshot. On over 60 hectares (150+ acres) this is likely to be Brisbane's most private and most peaceful home.
The home's design has embraced its surroundings to perfection. The generous living areas spill seamlessly onto the outdoor entertaining area. Alfresco dining and a spectacular salt water pool have uninterrupted views overlooking the paddocks of the private valley and the tree lined hills of beautiful Lake Manchester. The three metre ceilings allow light, as well as cooling breezes, to flood the home. There is brand new ducted air-conditioning while in winter an impressive open fire holds pride of place in the expansive living area.
The renovated gourmet kitchen is just two years old while the bathroom renovations are even more recent. The open plan kitchen has everything you could want including Caesar Stone benchtops, breakfast bar, gas cooktop, electric oven, plumbed refrigerator, dishwasher, soft closing drawers and a huge supply of cupboard space.
There are multiple living areas with good separation throughout the home. A veranda covers three sides and the view at any point is close to perfection. All five spacious bedrooms have built-ins as well as external access via stylish timber doors and CrimSafe screens. The master bedroom includes enough room for a parents' retreat and the ensuite has both double vanity and double shower. The walk-in robe is also oversized. Working from home is an easy option with good internet speeds and the home office/rumpus has a separate entry.
The current owners use this paradise as their escape from the city however it is large enough to be a working farm and to achieve Primary Producer Status. The property has had most of the boundary fences renewed in the past three years. There are cattle yards, three paddocks, stables for at least 10 horses and the ability to extend these facilities. The property has bore water (which has never run dry) in addition to filtered rain water storage of 100,000 litres for the home and 67,000 litres for the stockyard. There is also a private creek running through the property. A number of fruit trees already grow on the property but this would be another aspect which could be further developed.
Only 30 kilometres west of the Brisbane CBD, Lake Manchester is best known for being home to one of our city's largest water storage dams. It is also a popular picnic location and the bushwalks in the area are amongst Brisbane's best. The 2016 Census had a population of only 23 people, so the exclusivity of the area cannot be denied. With the journey to the Brisbane CBD taking around 50 minutes and the Ipswich CBD only 25 minutes, it remains an easy commute. This enviable location must be seen to be truly appreciated. Inspection is by appointment and for any further details please contact Ian Keenan at any time.
**Please note: Whilst the home is easily accessible for two wheel drive vehicles, cars with low clearances should be aware of the rural nature of the driveway.
