Nestled at the end of a tree-lined driveway, this unique, quality-built mud brick cottage possesses clever design features and stylish inclusions. With wraparound verandahs and passive thermal efficiency that provides year-round comfort, granted are tranquillity, captivating views, absolute privacy and connection to the natural environment.
This established acreage property, with its large multi-vehicle shed, carport and second shed, is situated in the scenic Mount Brisbane Valley only 10 minutes from the Dayboro township. Local conveniences, school, community facilities and great dining are at your fingertips, yet this location seems a world away.
With fresh country air, whipbirds and bellbirds signalling the start of the day and serenity aplenty, this idyllic escape, having an easily managed native landscape, pony paddock and leafy outlook, is an ideal retreat for those with busy lives, retirees and offers potential for Airbnb income.
Constructed using local soil formed into bricks on site, silky oak joinery and solid timber internal structural beams sourced from a Brisbane bridge demolition, this engineered cottage features high ceilings, well-insulated indoor to outdoor living spaces and a large bedroom with a characterful circular window and bay window seat.
Modernised by the current owners, the sealed rustic interiors feature smooth tiled floors throughout, a claw foot bath with a floor filler tap and windows that open to relaxing sunset vistas. Tastefully styled, the sleek country kitchen is complete with a wide Smeg gas-top cooker, white cabinetry and Black Pearl granite benchtops.
The home is wired for generator connection and is serviced by two water tanks totalling approximately 42,000 litres. Underground communication lines and power run from the road directly to the house.
Outside is a 6m x 12m double-sized steel shed, large enough for 4 vehicles, an adjoining high-clearance carport ideal for a caravan or boat and a separate 6m x 9m shed. Both have power, with the larger having a 1000-litre rainwater tank with a pump.
Private, quiet, versatile and oh so unique, explore and experience all that this very special cottage and its peaceful surroundings have to offer. At just over an hour from the Brisbane CBD, this property could be your everyday hideaway.
