An Elegant Country House
Please see link to view the Virtual Tour.
Meossa is an elegant country house on 36 acres (14.9ha) in the beautiful Scenic Rim within easy reach of both Brisbane and Ipswich, yet so affordable.
Standing high on a grassy natural plateau, in absolute privacy and seclusion, Meossa enjoys lovely views: to the North over the rich farmlands of Rosevale and especially to the South and the spectacular mountain peaks, ranges and escarpments of the Main Range National Park, part of the Gondwana Rainforests, an Australian World Heritage Area.
This beautiful Country House, inspired by a historic NSW station homestead which caught the eye of the owners, is both elegant and timeless. Built by master builders only seven years ago, it owes its sophistication to the traditional classical detail of eras past. A stylish entry foyer, crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, an open log-burning fireplace and solid timber floors add to the ambience and livability of this gracious Country House. The feeling of space that you will experience is enhanced by traditional French doors opening widely onto verandahs from all living areas and bedrooms.
Entertaining your weekend guests is easy from your stunning French provincial kitchen equipped with quality appliances, quartz bench tops and a walk-in butler's pantry. The open plan kitchen, living and dining area leads through wide bi-fold doors to a sunny terracotta verandah with views to the ancient volcanic core of Mt Walker. Meossa's wide covered verandahs, facing in every direction, provide ideal outdoor dining or relaxation areas in all seasons.
Meossa's 36 acres of total solitude comprises the fully fenced 5 acre natural plateau where the house proudly sits. The remaining undulating country slopes away to the south. Grassed with native grasses and lightly treed it has a small farm dam and is quite capable of running a few cattle or horses. The sloping western boundary runs for some distance along Boyd Creek, a haven for wildlife and a source of permanent clean water. Several deep waterholes enhance the natural beauty of this watercourse, ideal for cooling off during the summer months.
Other improvements include a 10.5 metre x 6 metre 2 bay Ranbuild garage with 3rd bay workshop and 73,000 litres of rainwater storage.
The property, while very private, is just 80 and 45 minutes away from Brisbane and Ipswich respectively. Rosewood, with the electric city train to Brisbane, is only 30 minutes away. Importantly when a quality meal out is required the renowned and historic Rosevale Retreat Hotel is just a few minutes down the road.
Meossa is currently enjoyed everyday as a permanent residence but would also be a sensational quiet weekender. Importantly the owner has made the firm decision to sell now in today's market to return closer to his family in Brisbane's north.
Inspections can be arranged by appointment.
The owner has appointed Ray White Rural Brisbane to market and sell the property.
