There are some homes that simply feel different the moment you walk through the door. Set on the shores of Lake Tinaroo in one of the most beautiful and peaceful corners of the Atherton Tablelands, this immaculate, timeless home enjoys stunning, uninterrupted views across the lake, with a sweeping lawn gently rolling down to the water's edge providing a rare combination of privacy, space, connection to the water and complete tranquillity.
Elegant, beautifully proportioned and timeless, completed in 2013. Built by highly regarded builder Simon Higham, this home reflects an exceptional standard of workmanship with 2.8-metre ceilings, generous glazing, extra-height doors and immaculate tallowwood timber floors.
From the lake-facing patio, the outlook is extraordinary with no neighbouring houses in sight, and much of the time, not another soul. Boats occasionally glide past in this quiet, tucked-away arm of the lake where nature takes centre stage.
At its heart, a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, complemented by an adjacent games/TV room that can be opened to create one expansive entertaining space, or closed off to provide two substantial living zones.
The Hamptons-style kitchen is both beautiful and exceptionally functional, with Caesarstone benchtops, a huge island, zip tap, abundant full-depth soft-close drawers, excellent storage and a large pantry.
Five generous bedrooms - or four bedrooms plus a study, including a dedicated bunk room sleeping five or six.
Brand-new reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning in bedrooms and living areas, while all three bathrooms feature underfloor heating and heated towel rails.
The laundry is cleverly partitioned within the mud room, providing separate access to the third bathroom.
6.6kW solar system with 9.6kWh battery storage, fully wired with a Cat 6 local area network, under-floor ventilation fans and security cameras.
A substantial three-bay shed with drive-through access provides excellent storage, workshop and vehicle accommodation.
Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the artificial-turf cricket pitch, complete with custom-made removable nets.
This is a home made for being together. Boating, swimming, fishing, cricket on the lawn, long lunches, children running between the house and the water, evenings around the fire and holidays with extended family and friends are all part of its appeal.
