Overview

Absolute Riverfront Acreage. Huge Approved Flood-Free Homesite. Ready to Build.

Set along one of the Brisbane River's most tightly held stretches, 285 Kenmore Road is a rare opportunity to secure more than two acres, 8,265sqm, of absolute riverfront land with an enormous approved flood-free homesite and the certainty of having the major approvals, services and infrastructure already in place. At the heart of the property is a flood-free 1,319sqm approved building envelope, positioned close to the river within approximately 4,500sqm of cleared riverfront land. The views of the river from the homesite are simply incredible. The approved building envelope is immense by Brisbane standards, providing exceptional flexibility for a substantial architect-designed residence and private riverfront estate. Importantly, while the approved homesite is close enough to enjoy a genuine riverfront lifestyle, it remained above the recorded flood levels of both 2011 and 2022, and enjoys a direct sweeping outlook across the Brisbane River. The difficult work involved in preparing a riverfront site of this scale has already been done. Water, sewer, electricity and NBN are connected, stormwater and essential works are complete, and the long private driveway has been constructed and sealed. The ecology, koala and other environmental requirements involved in preparing the land have also already been approved. Rather than buying first and then spending months, or potentially years, establishing where you can build, securing approvals, bringing services to the site and completing access works, these major site requirements are already in place, removing all risk, cost and time usually involved in building a substantial home on a riverfront site like this. • More than two acres, 8,265sqm, of absolute riverfront land • 33 metres of direct Brisbane River frontage • Huge 1,319sqm approved flood-free building envelope, close to the river • Approved homesite within approximately 4,500sqm of cleared riverfront land • Homesite remained above the recorded 2011 and 2022 flood levels • Direct sweeping river outlook from the approved homesite • Water, sewer, electricity and NBN connected • Stormwater and essential civil works completed • Sealed private access driveway • Ecology, koala and environmental requirements completed • Scope for a substantial private pontoon or jetty, subject to approval • Private rainforest entrance through mature established gardens • Emerging Communities zoning with longer-term development or subdivision potential, subject to council approval Imagine the home here: broad river-facing entertaining, an infinity pool beyond, landscaped lawns and gardens, and your boat sitting at a private pontoon or jetty below, subject to approval. The sweeping river outlook is particularly beautiful in the soft early-morning and late-afternoon light. Mature trees, birdlife, fruit trees, koalas and wallabies give the property an almost secluded, rural feel despite its proximity to the city. A long sealed driveway winds through established rainforest gardens before opening into the expansive riverfront grounds, creating the sense of a genuine private retreat. For families and lifestyle buyers, St Peters Lutheran College, Brisbane Boys' College, Brigidine College and Stuartholme School are all within easy reach, together with Indooroopilly Golf Club, St Lucia Golf Links, the Fig Tree Pocket Equestrian Club and Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Large-scale riverfront acreage is exceptionally difficult to find this close to Brisbane. Rarer still is a holding where the approved homesite, flood history, services, access and major site requirements are already established. 285 Kenmore Road brings together absolute river frontage, privacy, nature and estate-scale land with an unusual level of certainty and readiness to build.
