One Acreage Home. Dual Living. Endless Potential.

One Family's Dream. A Lifetime of Memories. Your Next Chapter. For the very first time since its original owners hand-picked this beautiful parcel of vacant acreage land, 5 Thornton Drive is being offered to the market, presenting an exceptional opportunity to secure a much-loved family property in the picturesque Meadowland Estate, Thornlands. Chosen with a vision to create a special place for their family, the owners built their home with love, providing the space, freedom and lifestyle for their children to grow, explore and create lasting memories. Decades later, this cherished family sanctuary is ready to welcome a new generation to write its own story. Set on an expansive 6,000m² (approximately 1.5 acres) fully fenced acreage parcel with an electric front gate, the home brings together a light-filled, lowset main residence, separate entertainment room/granny flat, swimming pool, triple garage and convenient separate entry and exit access routes.

Light-Filled, Lowset family living Designed with family life in mind, the main residence welcomes an abundance of natural light throughout, creating warm, bright and inviting interiors. Beautiful bay arched windows, framed by elegant plantation shutters, are a standout feature of the home, adding timeless character while enhancing the natural light and sense of space. The practical single-level layout provides the convenience of living without stairs, making it equally appealing to growing families, downsizers and those planning for their future lifestyle needs. Two split-system air conditioners provide additional comfort, while the versatile accommodation offers flexibility for families to configure their living spaces to suit their individual needs.

Versatile Dual Living/work from home - Together yet independent Adding another dimension to this acreage property is the separate entertainment room/granny flat, providing valuable additional accommodation and flexibility for extended family arrangements. Whether accommodating ageing parents, children, visiting relatives or creating extra space for recreation and entertaining, this versatile area offers possibilities for different stages of family life. With six bedrooms available across the property, including one currently used as a living area, the accommodation can be adapted to suit different household arrangements.
