A rare opportunity to purchase absolute river frontage home designed to enhance the wonderful aspect and benefits of living on the water and enjoy the views. After living for 13 years at resort-style waterfront family home, the owner has decided to downsize.
If you are a keen fisherman or boatee, then this one is could be your dream home. Located on one of the very few blocks with 63m water frontage on the Logan River, with direct access to Moreton Bay, the home includes and boat ramp and floating pontoon.
As well as this, the property has all the privacy if country life, with a bush and river outlook from almost any aspect.
This must be the most unique waterfront opportunity in South East Queensland today!!!
There are very few properties still available, with genuine absolute water frontage, and this area is destined for substantial growth in values.
This quality home is ideal for the larger family, or even for dual living, with a potential “Granny flat” or “Teenage retreat”.

As we enter the large front doors, we get a real sense of space, with a tasteful use of open plan design, combined with the unusually high ceilings.
The home is cooled by a sophisticated air recycling system, as well as fans and an air conditioner
To the right of the entry is an enormous kitchen / dining room. The gourmet kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, with a 6 burner gas cooker, a professional size extractor and a dishwasher. There are granite work surfaces everywhere and masses of cupboard space for storage.
The kitchen and dining area are tiled and have additional fans to assist the recycling system.
This area leads out onto the deck, which meanders around almost the entire rear of the house and overlooks the pool, tennis court and river. On the way to the deck we pass the guest bathroom which includes a 1 ½ times glass screened shower and a toilet.
Next to the kitchen dining area is the large formal lounge, which also has views over the amenities and river. There is a remote controlled gas stove to take the edge off those chilly winters evenings and two fans to help with cooling in the summer. With the timber flooring, this is the ideal spot for formal entertaining.
From here we enter the accommodation wing with three bedrooms and an office in all (although two have been converted into one massive bedroom. This conversion is easily reversed if you have the need for more bedrooms}
Most of these bedrooms have extra large triple built in wardrobes and fans. They all have timber floors.
The office next to this is carpeted and would easily convert into a fifth bedroom if required.
This cluster is serviced by the main bathroom, fully tiled with a glass screened shower, bath and vanity with granite surfaces.
Alongside this is the enormous laundry with extensive granite work surfaces and masses of cupboard space. The laundry also leads out onto the deck.
From the family wing we enter the master suite and the parents retreat, with a large air conditioner which is big enough to service, not only the retreat, but the master bedroom and the ancillary area downstairs. Leading into the master suite, this really is a study in style, with quadruple built in wardrobes and an ensuite with a glass screened shower, double vanity and toilet.
Again, there is a fabulous view from the master bedroom across the inground pool, tennis court and onto the river.
From the parents retreat, there is a staircase down to the ancillary room, which is currently being used as an office, but would easily lends itself to a large granny flat, with a kitchenette, ensuite with a glass shower and double vanity, and a large walk in wardrobe.
This space leads directly out into the large (11m), freeform, salt water pool, through clear glass pool fencing. The whole pool area is protected from prying eyes by a tall hedge that gives real privacy from the tennis court and river.
At the other end of the pool is a massive undercover BBQ area and a lockable, games / entertainment room, complete with a kitchenette and cooled by fans. This whole area is ideal for taking full advantage of the Queensland weather or sophisticated entertaining.
Either from the pool area or down the side of the house, we can access the shed complex. If you like your toys or work from home, this is ideal. A group of 4 sheds in line, varying in height from 4.5m high – ideal for caravans, boats or even large trucks – to 2.5m high. The four sheds span a distance of 16.5m, are about 9.5m wide, and have full width opening on one side. The fourth shed would be ideal as a workshop and gym.
Moving further away from the house, you could be excused for thinking this is an English country home. Across the fully fenced rear gardens with Sir Walter grassed lawns stretching away towards the river banks, we see another gazebo, about 5m x 8m with power and lights, again ideal for entertaining.
Perhaps a tennis afternoon, a few metres away is the full sized tennis court, fenced with lights for evening play. The court has been refurbished with a concrete surface, designed to reject any water it may encounter. The tennis court is also accessible from the pool area via a set of stairs that meander through the privacy hedges.
If you are dedicated to ball sports, there is a golf practice net on the other side of the gazebo, allowing you to get in some swing practise between games.
Moving across the lawns to the river, we find a boat ramp and a floating pontoon, made by “Superior jetties”, and designed to withstand the currents of the Logan River.
Along the fence line of the rear gardens, the current owner has planted a myriad of fruit trees, including Lychees, Pear, Mango, Banana, Olive and Chestnut. In a few years, this will provide, not only complete privacy from any neighbours, but an extensive source of home grown fruit.
The property has a total of 7 water tanks ( 5 x 4Kl and 2 x 5Kl) to collect any rain water and provide plentiful water to irrigate the gardens.
As well as the shed complex, the home has a double carport for parking, Cable TV and, if internet is critical for your business, cable broadband is available. It is also serviced by 2 individual hot water systems.
This property is ideally located on the river in a high quality part of Loganholme, a high growth suburb, on the Logan River, which is has still yet to see its full potential. The area is conveniently located only minutes from fantastic shopping, cinemas, restaurants and bars at the Logan Hyperdome, a large number of public and private schools, many parks with BBQ areas, playgrounds, sporting facilities, cycling and walking tracks and four major golf courses.
It is only a couple of minutes from access to the M1, north or south, and the Ipswich Motorway, putting the Brisbane CBD, the Gold Coast and the western suburbs all within easy reach. Even the Brisbane airport is only ½ an hour away.
Ideal for the angler, the Logan River is renowned for fishing and crabbing, Moreton Bay is only 30 minutes easy drive away, and for the kids, Dreamworld, Wet n Wild and Movieworld are also just a 20 minutes drive down the freeway – so why not buy a season pass!
