Arrive at the double gates of 80 Upper Brookfield Road and be greeted by a country life. The north facing property, within the highly sought after Brookfield Showground precinct, has a brick home that flows out to a pool, tennis court and shady paddocks.
There are only a handful of properties this close to the showground with north facing land. The property’s rich, dark alluvial soil grows abundant open pasture. Shade trees, gardens and lawns thrive.
Take in the beauty of the setting as you enter through the gates and travel along the driveway through the front paddock passing the dam, crossing the small bridge, and looping around the tennis court to arrive at the home.
The welcoming, one level home, built in 1980, is encircled by glass doors and windows that bring in breezes and rural views to every room. The home is designed for indoor-outdoor living.
From the home, you see across the paddocks to Ballards Hill and to the mountains on the horizon.
The front verandah runs the length of the home and is the place to soak up winter sunshine and fresh air filled with the birdsong of king parrots, cockatoos, kookaburras, and rosellas.
Step through the front door into a tiled entrance hall with places for hats, boots, Driza-Bone jackets, and tennis racquets.
The recently renovated kitchen invites you in. Take a seat in front of the open fireplace at the table ideal for cosy breakfasts in winter and family meals all year round.
The extra wide Smeg oven, central island bench and ample storage space keep the cook happy. Through the kitchen’s wide glass doors and large window you can see across the swimming pool and lawn.
The lounge-formal dining area opens to the north and south. From this sunlit space you can step onto the front verandah or into the back garden and pool.
The northeast facing master suite is a private retreat separate from the children’s wing. Large windows and soft carpet make this room a delightful space complete with an ensuite and walk-in-robe.
The children’s wing has the main bathroom and four carpeted bedrooms with built in wardrobes and rural views.
The large laundry has room for a second fridge or chest freezer.
From the front verandah, walk through the jacarandas, frangipanis and plentiful mature trees to the north-south, synthetic grass tennis court.
In true country style, the property has space for family and friends to flourish and to come together: tennis matches under lights on summer nights; birthday parties to remember for young and old; cricket and soccer matches on the wide lawn; horse rides across the paddocks; lazy afternoons in the swimming pool.
At the back of the house is a two-car carport and a large room that could be a home office, studio, gym, media room, or teenager’s retreat.
A double garage provides another two vehicles with accommodation. There are many more onsite parking spaces.
The lean-to next to the garage is a handy workshop/wood chopping space.
The fully fenced property is ideal for horses and cattle.
The feeling of space never leaves you here and yet you can walk to Brookfield’s Showground and historic village.
Locals continue to honour Brookfield’s rural past coming together for farmers’ markets, pony club, cricket club, the Brookfield show, and social events in the hall.
The Brookie Store, school and childcare centre are all important hubs.
You’re on the doorstep of many hiking, biking and pony trails that go for kilometres through Mt Coot-tha Forest Park.
Council buses stop at the front gate. Private school buses stop at the end of Boscombe Road.
You can drive to Kenmore Village in around six minutes and to Brisbane CBD in around 26 minutes.
Here is the country life you’ve been imagining, in a beautiful setting on north facing land close to Brookfield Showground.
