THIS PROPERTY IS SPECIAL. ITS RARE!! ITS BIG!!! One of the largest blocks you can get in suburbia Springwood yet so close to the Brisbane CBD, and good schools like John Paul College, Calvary Christian College and Redeemer Lutheran. This stunning resort-style property is the ultimate in dream homes and is guaranteed to take your breath away from the moment you enter via the expansive private driveway. Set on a sprawling 2.4 ha, this grand residence is the epitome of an exclusive, secluded rural estate with all the benefits of incredible city and coastal access.
Nestled into impressive acreage and lovingly enveloped by native foliage and natural granite boulders, you'll find a beautifully designed 3-storey split-level residence that features ultra-modern fixtures and features, superb timbers, brickwork and feature tiling, serene views from virtually every room, and a myriad of outdoor features and entertaining areas that will allow you to truly embrace its wilderness and wildlife. It also offers amazing lifestyle flexibility with up to 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and approval to build in a fifth bathroom as well.
Entering the driveway, you'll notice the path splits off into two roads - one for visitors, and one that leads to the main driveway. Here there is a carport, a large double undercover garage and an abundance of driveway parking for additional vehicles including a campervan, caravan or motorhome. Attached to the double garage is a 3-bay workshop with a sizeable work bench & multiple store rooms - this will be a dream space for hobbyists, builders or car enthusiasts.
Entering through the front door, you'll be greeted with an entertaining lounge with glorious raked ceilings, a roaring open fireplace & a spectacular wet bar. This space has a cosy den-like quality, however the ceiling construction ensures plenty of natural light & airflow.
This room opens through sliding doors to a courtyard with access to the outdoor entertaining area. This level also features a separate laundry and a media lounge where the kids can enjoy movie watching in surround-sound comfort while the adults entertain guests in the lounge.
Heading up the impressive timber staircase, you'll find the main level of this home. If you are entering from the visitor's parking area, you will be enchanted with the welcome, including from the bridged walkway that is surrounded by a fishpond and a multitude of goldfish. You will then arrive immediately into the middle-level entry foyer.
Again, wonderful peaked timber ceilings abound as well as floor-to-ceiling windows that are built into the brick walls that allow the wildlife habitats and expansive natural landscaping to truly exhibit their glory. The kitchen boasts modern appliances, ample cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and a lovely view-filled nook for a morning coffee.
There is also a big bathroom, a formal dining room, a living room with a fireplace, 2 bedrooms with built-ins, plus 2 additional rooms that could be used as bedrooms or converted to office space, a playroom, another media lounge or a guest suite. Two decks on this level also maximise the serenity of the natural landscape, and the chance to get up close and personal with some of the native birdlife.
Upper floor. This is a parent's sanctuary featuring a spacious master bedroom with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, additional built-in wardrobes and a private deck with more sweeping views over the property's acreage. There is also another generously-sized bedroom with its own private deck, storage space in the attic, and an intimate little space that would be ideal for a playroom or reading nook.
On the exterior, the stunning features continue, all surrounded by granite outcrops that blend seamlessly into the natural habitat. Your new dream home also has a sparkling in-ground pool, multiple patios, a studio and separate bathroom that could accommodate extra guests or be used as a pool house. You can also create a sustainable feast with your raised garden beds and chicken coop, enjoy walks in the rainforest gully, or picnic on the private jetty that surrounds your lily-pad-covered dam whilst awaiting your boat ride.
The additional parking and potential camp sites with their fire pits and flat land make for the perfect spots for nature-loving guests or kids who just want to chill out with friends over koala-spotting & marshmallow-laden adventures.
Location-wise, it is close to bus transport (an easy work commute to the CBD), retail outlets (including Springwood Mall), schools (including JPC, Calvary Christian College, Springwood public schools) and Springwood Conservation Park (with its eucalypt forests and bushwalking tracks). It is also only 20 minutes to the CBD and 45 minutes from the Gold Coast.
This sprawling property needs private attention and time to view. Inspections via Appointment only. Availability between Mon - Thurs between 9am to 2.30pm. Please call Johnson on 0422 804 811 to book in your private tour.
