Whilst many of homes in Springbrook are often smaller sized, timber-built cottages, this home certainly stands out from the crowd! Built with a sturdy steel frame on a raised concrete slab, this property is superbly built, whilst the timber cladding exterior ensures it blends in with natural surroundings. The home has been a renovation project for the current owner with the whole of the interior gutted right back to bare walls. Every tap, tile, light switch, door and cupboard has been replaced with new and many luxurious features have been added. There are many enclosed storage spaces under the house including a large single garage, tool shed and wood storage area. With a massive rainwater tank under the house (estimated 40-60,000 litres) you will be sure to never run out of water and access is via a trap door for super easy cleaning! You won’t be paying a water rates bill once you live in Springbrook! Brand new gutter-guard recently fitted means no more pulling the leaves out of the gutters for you!
Wonderful features of this home include a whole new electrical wiring system throughout as well as ceiling fans, reverse cycle air conditioning and an ultra-modern UV water filtration system. You can enjoy a huge Hamptons style kitchen with heaps of cupboard storage, soft close drawers, stone benchtops, modern appliances and featuring a large porcelain butlers’ sink with Victorian style tap. With a neutral colour scheme and matching roller blinds added, along with the high 9ft ceilings, you will walk into a grand feeling of spacious living! Come and enjoy the luxury bathrooms, the quality carpets and the cosy combustion woodburning fireplace! About the only original internal feature here is the gorgeous timber parquetry flooring through the main living areas. The elevation and huge windows provide panoramic views across the gardens. The rear undercover patio is the great place to host your barbeques or enjoy that morning coffee or evening glass of wine! The concrete ramp entry could be perfect for a wheelchair user as the home is then all on one level. The owner has loved living in her Springbrook properties for the past 5 years but has now bought land near the water and is building a new house to be closer to her family.
The location is extremely peaceful with only one very quiet neighbour to one side and National Park bushland on the other. You will have almost half an acre to enjoy all to yourself, completely private amongst the rainforest of the Springbrook Mountain where frequent visitors are the kookaburras, lorikeets, king parrots and the odd bush turkey, possum or pademelon (small type kangaroo). ‘Tree Fern Lodge’ got its name from the abundance of grand tree ferns that overlook the large sweeping lawn. Plenty of room here to add vegetable gardens, a chook pen or maybe even a granny flat (subject to council approval). There is plenty of driveway parking, space to add another garage or carport and an under-deck workspace just perfect for the home handyman.
Located at the lower end of Springbrook, living in ‘Tree Fern Lodge’ means that access down to Mudgeeraba village township is just a quick 20 min drive (once road re-opens once repairs are complete) or Nerang and the M1 motorway is only 30 mins away. Woolworths will deliver your weekly groceries or there are many roadside stalls in the village where you can buy organic eggs, homemade preserves, firewood and locally grown produce. Springbrook offers a lovely village lifestyle where you can rest peacefully or alternatively enjoy the hiking tracks, waterfalls and lookouts and local cafes and pub. There is a local junior school, a bus service for the high school students, community hall, tennis courts, children’s play park, an observatory and many community groups you can join such as gardening, craft, The Men’s Shed, yoga, meditation, dance and more…
