A genuinely unique home on a very private block of almost 2 acres. This property has been dubbed "Scrubby Creek" and it must be said that Scrubby Creek scrubs up very well! The welcoming main living area features a cathedral ceiling, a fireplace and impressive timber floors (which occur throughout the home). There are multiple living/entertaining areas with all levels spilling onto decks/verandahs to take great advantage of the spectacular bush setting.
The home itself is spread over three levels. The top floor loft overlooks the dining/family room and serves as the main bedroom. Its private balcony supplies amazing bush views and the parents retreat on this level is suitable for either a library, tv area or a home office. The middle level is the guest entry with a lounge room, living/dining area, kitchen, second bedroom and a newly renovated bathroom with separate toilet. The home opens up extremely well and the airflow ensures that it remains very cool in summer.
The lowest level is styled with an Outback Australiana theme and corrugated iron features heavily in the décor. This level features a combined second bathroom/toilet/laundry, a third and fourth bedroom, as well as rumpus and wet bar rooms. Bedroom four currently serves as a home office and is ideal for that task. Three of the rooms on the lower level open to the undercover terrace via French doors. The terrace is ideal for barbecues as it leads to the very inviting swimming pool. The 50,000 litre pebblecrete (salt water) pool has an expansive deck which overlooks the gully. The adjacent 'pool house' would be suitable for a multitude of uses including a teenage retreat, mancave, gymnasium/sauna, pool equipment storage or even as a workshop for the home handyman.
Other features of the property include a garden shed, a very generous size chicken coop and a number of aviaries. There is 6.6 Kilowatts of solar panels as well as gas hot water. There's plenty of space for additional sheds and garages to be constructed if needed. The potential is enormous! Please note that this property does not flood and is well above flood levels.
Just minutes from the Karana Downs shopping centre, Baaring Drive is also a major school bus route. The home is just minutes away from all the local facilities including the golf club, boat ramp, service station and shopping centre with its general store, bakery, pizza shop, hairdresser, pool shop etc. The nearby Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts as well as Toowoomba to the west. It's just over 30 minutes to the Brisbane CBD and only 12 kms from the Ipswich CBD. A Building & Pest Report is available to those inspecting the property.
