Perched above the clouds at 500 metres is "Lorelei Manor" set on 40 picturesque acres capturing the romance of a classic country manor with the soul of a resort retreat with a magnesium pool, Balinese pavilion, sweeping views of the Glass House Mountains, Moreton Bay and more!
This newly built residence masterfully combines coastal and Hamptons aesthetics with a contemporary, poetic reimagining of the classic English country manor to create a picture perfect family home. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens that evoke the charm and romance of the English countryside and French Riviera, Lorelei Manor is a timeless tapestry of tranquillity and refined grandeur.
Entry to the impressive estate is via a grand driveway that meanders through rolling pastures as it ascends to the mountaintop manor. Where the driveway ends, the storybook magic of Lorelei Manor begins. The new, custom built residence is breathtakingly beautiful with its classic hardwood cladding, French doors and windows and idyllic wraparound verandah.
When you walk through Lorelei Manor's oversized double entry doors, you are immediately struck by the impressive foyer, soaring coffered ceilings, recycled hardwood walnut floorboards, VJ panelling, Victorian cornicing & endless views.
This beautiful home comprises four bedrooms, study/home office, three bathrooms, classic country style kitchen, dining room and multiple living areas. There are a myriad of luxury features and finishes including a stone wall fireplace, ducted air-conditioning and Vacumaid, custom doors/windows, Cotswold wallpaper and specialty lighting with hardware sourced from around the world.
Three of the home's four bedrooms are located on the main level and all feature air conditioning, large robes and the master bedroom offers French door verandah access a large walk-in wardrobe and stunning ensuite. A fourth (and absolutely fabulous!) bedroom is located in a private attic wing with it's own bathroom. The dreamy 5.48mx5.00m retreat has an ensuite and the a storybook gabled walkout balcony that Juliet and Rapunzel would covet!
On the main level, the palatial country style kitchen with walk-in pantry exudes charm and rustic elegance. Surrounded by an abundance of beautiful muted botanical green cabinetry, the large central island is perfect for meal prep and casual meals with family and friends. The five burner double Falcon Deluxe oven with wok burner and griddle serves as both a statement piece and a culinary wizard that will transform you into a Nigella or Jamie.
The dining room boasts a built-in wine cellar cabinet, and the adjoining family room showcases a stone wall fireplace. A second large living room has picturesque window seating, perfect for curling up with a good book and basking in the sun's rays. All of these gorgeous spaces enjoy French door access to the wraparound verandah and gardens.
Outside, there is an abundance of garden features, outbuildings and extraordinary entertaining areas. The acre immediately surrounding the homestead is fully fenced with French and English inspired landscaping and plantings, bountiful herb and vegetable gardens and terraced fruit tree orchards.
On one side of the property there is a children's playground area with suspension bridge, swings and climbing wall and an award winning, 8 metre heated magnesium salt pool complete with 3.5m tilting cantilever umbrella, decking, hot spa and beach!
On the other side there's a magnificent Mediterranean inspired courtyard, BBQ area with 6 burner BBQ and an enclosed tropical Balinese garden oasis with water features and a resort style thatched pavilion hut. It's always 5 o'clock at your blissful Bali abode!
Framing the alfresco entertaining areas is a basalt rock pond with cascading waterfalls and a timber boardwalk with rope balustrade that overlooks the bay and mountain ranges. There's also a double lockup garage with automated panel lift door, a self-contained studio/gym/office, powered tool shed & delightful potting shed.
Bring the cows, chooks, tractor, John Deere and hobby farm hankerings, because there's a deluxe chicken coop, 30 acres of cleared pastures, established shade trees and quality grazing grassland, 3 spring fed dams, fenced paddocks, storage shed with power, concrete flooring and water tank and a timber stockyard with a covered steel chute and ramp access.
Whilst a world away among the clouds, Lorelei Manor is just 5 mins to Mount Mee Primary & 20 mins to Woodford Village. Every element of this mesmerising mountaintop estate has been carefully crafted and curated to create a space of grace, tranquillity, harmony and joy, where magical moments and memories are made.
