Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Draper's most tightly held locations, The Pocket is a breathtaking lifestyle property offering a rare blend of timeless charm, sustainable living, and extraordinary natural beauty - just 5 minutes from Samford Village and 35 minutes from Brisbane CBD.
Set on a magnificent parcel of land, this private sanctuary is more than a home - it's a living, breathing landscape. Spanning over thousands of established native plants, the property is a registered Land for Wildlife haven, thoughtfully designed to protect and support local biodiversity. Explore winding boardwalks through hoop pine forests and wetland areas, where wallabies, birds, turtles, and frogs make their home in harmony with nature.
A serene dam with a timber viewing deck offers the perfect spot to relax or entertain, while the South Pine River at the rear of the property reveals a natural swimming hole - your own private escape in the warmer months. Water from the river feeds an extensive irrigation system that sustains the gardens with ease and efficiency.
The grounds have been lovingly cultivated to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle, featuring a thriving orchard with apples, oranges, mandarins, plums, lemons, limes, mangoes, custard apples, jaboticaba and longan. Raised vegetable beds are conveniently positioned near the house, and a charming chook house adds to the rural charm.
Designed in a French provincial style, the home blends rustic elegance with modern comforts. Antique whitewashed walls, vaulted ceilings, and large terracotta tiled floors give the interior a warm, airy ambience. Expansive windows frame garden views and welcome cross-breezes that naturally cool the home.
The open-plan layout connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas, creating a central hub for family life and entertaining. The kitchen features stone benchtops, quality appliances, and ample storage, all finished with a clean, modern aesthetic.
Upstairs, ducted air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, complemented by split systems, ceiling fans, and a beautiful fireplace for cozy winter evenings. A peaceful library nook provides a quiet space for work or relaxation.
Ideal for multigenerational living or income generation, a fully self-contained studio above the triple garage offers complete flexibility - whether it's guest accommodation, a home business, or a boutique Airbnb.
