Wirrimbirra – a property of stunning scenic beauty and relaxed rural sophistication welcomes you to discover its wonderful lifestyle. This 25 acre property exudes a true country charm with a long sweeping driveway lined with post and rail fencing, perfectly manicured gardens and a classic homestead.
The Main Homestead
Set high to enjoy views over the property and the surrounding national park, the home is designed to be enjoyed all year round. Large surrounding verandahs offer cool outdoor sitting and entertaining areas in summer to enjoy the rarefied climate of Somersby Plateau. Reverse cycle air conditioning ensures your year round comfort.
The sandstone fireplace is the centrepiece of the main lounge room and is complemented by the stunning solid timber floors.
The single level homestead consisting of five large bedrooms and two living areas, has more than enough room for the extended family. The home has been completely renovated and features a large picture window overlooking the pool, tennis court, rolling lawns, gardens and dams.
New tiling to the spacious kitchen, bathrooms and laundry complement the quality carpeting to all bedrooms and hallway.
Other Accommodation:
Separate fully self contained guest accommodation adjoins the main homestead and features a king size bedroom with TV and phone, kitchen and bathroom.
Adjacent to the tennis court is a large fully functioning office with a 10 line digital phone system, Cat5 network cable and four network connections. The office has its own kitchen, shower and toilet facilities and could be converted to extra accommodation if required.
Outbuildings:
This beautiful lifestyle farm includes a 4,000 sq.mt fully functional plant growing facility and offers a diverse range of other potential uses. The centrepiece is the high clearance 24m by 12m colour bond shed with extensive mezzanine storage, lighting, phone and computer connection. Nearby is a 10m by 8m four door machinery shed/garage with personal access door. There is also a separate double garage with auto doors adjacent to the home. The property is serviced by underground 3 phase power supply.
Resort Lifestyle Facilities:
The property shares its western boundaries with Brisbane Water National Park and Somersby Falls, ensuring a feeling of total privacy and absolute peace and quiet. The homestead overlooks a resort style pool and cabana complex with its own natural sandstone waterfall. This has been the site of many family gatherings and weddings.
There is an all weather, championship size tennis court with provision for lighting if required.
The gardens of this property are a credit to the owner’s skill of planning and nurture. They are cleverly designed to look stunning with a minimum of labour. There is a grand circular driveway with its own fountain and mass planting of shrubs and hedges.
Olive, Citrus, Fig and Stone Fruit trees surround the office and tennis court to complete the magnificent gardens.
Water:
Three large spring and ground fed dams contribute to the abundance of water on this property. The main entry dam has a locally quarried sandstone retaining wall as its feature, and the main dam is stocked with Silver Perch.
A 12 meg/lt. commercial water license is available if required by purchaser but is not part of the sale inclusions. The 2 meg/lt domestic bore is equipped with a Grundfos electric pump and is used to supply the garden irrigation system.
House water is stored in a 75000 litre Colorbond tank equipped with a constant pressure-on-demand pumping system.

The property hosts a fully operational 4000 sq metre commercial plant growing facility. A 125,000 lt. water storage tank and electronic 12 stage irrigation controller supply the automatic overhead and drip irrigation systems. The nursery business is not being sold with the property but the facility could be used as an income source if required.
