The home

Designed in conjunction with, and built by, award winning builder Peter Bell of Peter Bell Homes, this low maintenance executive 5 bedroom + study residence stands prominently overlooking its 42 rolling acres. Positioned at the highest point of the block to enjoy the cooling summer breezes and stunning views that include Moreton bay and its islands, Lake Samsonvale and its forest, the Daguilar ranges and Mt Mee, and the rural Kobble Creek and North Pine River valleys, the home is perfectly orientated to maximise the benefits of the changing seasons while remaining inconspicuous and in harmony with its surrounds.

The highest quality finishes are complimented and highlighted by the beautiful ornate work, high ceilings and stunning Brushbox and Blackbutt hand laid parquetry floors. Adding a burst of flavour is the stunning Silky Oak chefs kitchen, finished in granite with quality European stainless steel appliances and a huge pantry, that services the separate formal lounge and dining rooms and ballroom size family room. The relaxed casual family lifestyle centres on the open planned family and kitchen area. Natural flooring products have been used throughout in keeping with an aesthetically pleasing feel and healthy environment.

Ceiling heights vary from 2.7m in the bedrooms and bathrooms to the vaulted 4m ceiling in the family room adding to the atmosphere and feeling of space. Vibrant colours blend with subtle earthy tones that are used throughout this 42 square master built home.

Open the French doors in summer and allow the cooling sea breezes in as the house effectively cools itself. Enjoy a drink on the shady verandah and watch the parrots and honeyeaters play in the gardens surrounding you. Light the unique sandstone surround fire and close up in winter to feel snug and warm when the cool southwesterly winds blow in. The winter temperature inside is seldom less than 15C as the orientation of the design allows the morning winter sun to warm the terracotta tiles in the family room that act as a heat trap and warms the house the whole day.

All bedrooms are queen sized and have reverse cycle air-conditioning. The huge master bedroom has its own large walk-in wardrobe plus a separate linen closet. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 have large built in wardrobes and linen closet. The master en-suite includes a spa bath and bidet, while the main bathroom is split in three sections for greater privacy and ease of use.

Storage is one thing that this home has plenty of. From the storeroom next to 3 car garage to the row of built-in closets in the back corridor, laundry closets and drawers and bedroom wardrobes, there is a place for everything.

Extensive showcase native gardens surround the house, including many rare varieties indigenous to local area, and attract loads of native birds and wildlife. Grassy walkways meander through different levels of gardens with many rock and water features including stone seating areas on the front hill and north-eastern corner of the house plus a cubbyhouse and childrens play area. To add spice to your lifestyle is the nearly 10metre herb garden plus an established vegetable patch.

Nestled into the beautiful native gardens is the amazing semi-enclosed pool house with a 10.5 metre, solar heated, saltwater lap pool that opens onto a private seating area to the east. This pool has a 5 metre shallow section with spa and is fitted with a UV reflective roof and glass walls/fence (no sun shirts or creams required as 99% UV proof. No extra chlorine needs adding as it is not destroyed UV). The pool also acts as storage tank for the custom designed house fire-fighting system.

Over 200 species of bird including Wrens, Finches, native Quail, Parrots, Cockatoo (black and white), Whipbirds, Honeyeaters, Owls, Kites, Hawks and Eagles including the White-bellied Sea-eagle and Wedge-tailed Eagle are found in the gardens and surrounding valleys. Wildlife ranging from tree-frogs and Gungans to Echidnas, Phascogles, Koalas, Gliders and Wallabies live on the property and are regularly seen around the house.
The low profile of the house from the road, surrounded by the showcase landscaped native gardens give the house a very secluded feel. With only the roof and garage visible from the road and 2 boundaries abutting Lake Samsonvale forests, it is not difficult to enjoy the peace of rural life and know that your privacy is assured.

While water shortages can limit your lifestyle in the city, this home is designed to allow a more relaxed lifestyle. With nearly 120,000 litres attached to the house in 2 huge cement tanks, another 30,000 titres for the pool plus millions of litres available from the dams for the gardens, this home can be lived in the way you would like to.

The 42 acre property is fully fenced and has been substantially cleared. It is ready to run horses or other stock if required. With nearly 5 acres of water spilt between 5 dams there is enough for everything you would ever want to do. Two big machinery sheds give plenty of storage for all your requirements. Included is an income producing, low maintenance 1000 tree orchard (including machinery) with potential tax advantages.
