Hidden amongst the treetops on an expansive 955sqm block and backing directly onto natural bushland, this architect-designed residence offers an extraordinary sense of peace, privacy and connection to nature. With just one adjoining neighbour and natural bushland wrapping around the remainder of the property, the home enjoys a remarkable feeling of seclusion while capturing cooling north-easterly breezes and glimpses of both the Brisbane River and city skyline. Native wildlife including wallabies, echidnas, gliding possums, deer and an abundance of birdlife complete a setting that feels more like a private retreat than suburban Brisbane.
Designed by Ian Webb and built by Bev Jenner Constructions, the home has been thoughtfully crafted to embrace its unique surroundings. Offering the tranquillity of a bushland retreat without sacrificing convenience, this is a home that feels removed from the city while remaining just minutes from schools, transport and everyday amenities.
A striking arrival begins with generous slate steps winding through established tropical gardens to a welcoming timber deck and beautifully handcrafted rosewood double entry doors. Their architectural timber grid design provides security while allowing natural ventilation, creating an entrance that is both dramatic and functional. Inside, warm recycled white mahogany timber floors and soaring three-metre ceilings create an immediate sense of space. Filled with natural light yet protected from harsh glare through UV-tinted glazing, the home combines glass louvres, clerestory windows and intelligent orientation to create exceptional natural airflow throughout the seasons.
The upper level has been designed for effortless everyday living, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flowing seamlessly onto the north-facing entertaining deck. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features Corian benchtops, Miele appliances, a generous butler's pantry and exceptional storage, while a dedicated home office, concealed powder room and privately positioned master suite with dressing room and ensuite complete this level.
Downstairs provides excellent separation for families, with three generous bedrooms, a central bathroom, separate toilet and a spacious second living or media room opening directly onto the terrace and gardens. Whether entertaining friends beneath the trees or enjoying the city lights through the canopy, this is a home that celebrates its remarkable natural setting. As the seasons change, so too do the outlooks, with the surrounding canopy revealing ever-changing glimpses of the river and city lights throughout the year.
