Main residence features an extra-large master bedroom with WIR, ensuite, owners' retreat, combined family room/lounge/dining, ultra-modern kitchen, powder room, large home office/craft room, east facing deck to capture the views and two-car lock-up garage.
The double sided, fan-assisted fireplace allows you to enjoy the warmth from the owners' retreat or from the family room/dining area. It keeps the house toasty warm in winter and there is reverse cycle air conditioning when you just want to take the edge off.
The fully integrated sound system which, by the way, allows different music to be played in different rooms and is wired for surround-sound, is wonderful on those wintery nights when you are home alone with a glass of wine, or when you have friends over, or even perhaps when you just want a cosy candle-lit bath, listening to your favourite relaxing music.
And then there's the customised lighting to meet your every mood.
Did we mention kitchen with:
the Neff Steam Combination Oven and Neff Combination Convection/Microwave wall ovens with pyrolytic self-cleaning technology,
Neff in-wall deep warming drawer,
Highland 6-burner gas hotplates,
Gaggenau in bench steamer,
Gaggenau in bench exhaust
5 metre long stainless steel bench top with Blanco twin sink,
recycled wood servery,
frosted-glass cupboard doors including one stainless steel lined cupboard with 42-bottle wine storage (great for storing some of those special wines, but don't worry there is plenty of space elsewhere for more.)
Plenty of pantry storage and drawers large enough to hold a 12-place dinner setting, heaps of drawer/cupboard storage for all those precious items and cooking equipment.
The main patio area is covered by a Vergola to maximise the winter sun or filter out the summer heat, and the glass balustrade ensures uninterrupted views from the protected deck. Walk straight from your master bedroom onto the deck and through to the open plan living area. This home is a joy to walk through or merely to sit in owners retreat and look through the big beautiful corner set glass window to the sparkling lights of Brisbane and beyond.
The large study/home office with two land-lines, fast ADSL and complete office/library fit out is perfect: separated as it is from the remainder of the house so you can simply close the doors for privacy when unexpected guests arrive.
There are also plenty of Western Red Cedar louvres and ceiling fans to allow you to capture those beautiful summer breezes anywhere in the home.
Both the ceiling and walls of the home are fully insulated and has proper attic storage above the walk-in-robe. Flooring is blackbutt 175mm recycled timber flooring throughout with plush carpet in the WIR.
There is a definite Japanese influence in the ensuite, with the Shoji screens opening to reveal the slatted timber vanities and unique Japanese-style tatami bricks as the flooring of the shower.
And water: there is an abundance with just over 100,000 litres of rain-water storage capacity with both the main residence and guest-house having their own constant-pressure water pumps. You can enjoy long, full baths with no risk of excess water rates up here.
The fully self-contained guest-house includes combustion fireplace, air conditioner, kitchenette, queen size bedroom and single bedroom with shower, w/c and east facing deck. It too is fully insulated. The guest house, which could easily become an artist's studio or even a gallery, has its own telephone land-line, television and generator connection plus its own electricity sub-meter.
The home was an Australian Open Garden Scheme participant in 2007. In fact it was featured on the cover of the Queensland section. Yet this is a low-maintenance garden designed to attract the native birds the area is famous for. There is also planted plenty of citrus fruit trees (Meyer lemon, Naval orange, Tahitian lime, Blood orange, Ruby grapefruit, multiple cumquat varieties, Lemonade, kaffir lime etc), not to mention an apple tree, bay leaf, and herbs and raised garden beds.
There is NOTHING like this anywhere so close to Brisbane. The peace, the solitude, the rainforest, the birdlife, the creativity come and see
