Last Listing description (November 2019)
Best kept acreage secret on Brisbane Northside!
This is truly a rare and unique home with an incredible organic feel, nestled amongst bushland and subtropical gardens and with absolute river frontage. Set on 1.75 acres and positioned at the end of a long driveway with exceptional privacy, the opulent sub-tropical design embraces an "easy living" ethos creating a relaxed, resort-style ambience, although just a few minutes drive from schools and all conveniences. Being here feels a world away, yet not a world apart.
You will be spellbound by the breathtaking octagonal sunroom with 11 foot high ceilings and floor to ceiling glass allowing for natural light and gentle breezes to filter through the home. The kitchen, dining and sunroom on the northerly aspect of the home look out through stunning garden views to river - the perfect setting for entertaining, musicians and artists. This home welcomes you to grand open living which flows through to thoughtful living spaces both inside and out that truly make this house a home.
Keep the family fit on the tennis court with floodlights and entertainment area and swim in the 15m freshwater pool - then each night wander upstairs to the incredible parents wing spanning 48 square metres of dreamy downtime. A large walk-in robe and extravagant ensuite declare a luxurious way to wind down, while a large private balcony overlooks the river and gorgeous gardens - each romantic detail evoking a timeless bohemian elegance.
Be entranced by the massive native fig which forms the centre piece of the property, whilst the garden is a collection of magnificent specimens of staghorns, elkhorns, crowsnest ferns, mosses, native orchids and ground covers beneath a shady canopy of towering palms with free form rockeries and winding paths down to the river if you've ever imagined creating your own botanical garden or permaculture environment, here's your opportunity.
