This property was not affected by recent floods.

Looking for some country quiet but want to stay close to the city, shops and schools? Need space for the kids to run around outside? Or are their pleas for a pony finally wearing you down? It is with much sorrow that the owners of the lovely property must sell as a job transfer to the north coast has prompted their move.

There’s something for the whole family at 49 Sugars Road in handy Bellbowrie, on a usable 2.5 acres with all the space your family is craving, featuring:

* Four bedrooms and two bathrooms including a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite;
* Oodles of attractions for amateur and serious horse enthusiasts alike including two fenced paddocks, floodlit exercise yard, a fenced and concreted wash-down area and two bigger-than-average covered shelters; and
* Storage aplenty with a double garage, garden shed PLUS an 11m x 11m American barn large enough to store a horse float, ride-on mowers and tack room with still enough space for Dad’s dartboard.

Set back from the street, a long driveway reveals a lovely single-storey family home, built by the current owners 14 years ago. With its brick exterior and squatters chairs on the peaceful, south- facing colonial bullnose front verandah, there’s just the right mix of country charm and contemporary conveniences as you step inside and relax into a freshly carpeted sunken lounge.

It flows through to a formal dining area for grown-up entertaining, serviced by a functional family kitchen overlooking ponies grazing in the paddock. With a stainless steel dishwasher, ceramic cooktop, cool-touch self-cleaning oven and walk-in pantry big enough to feed a small army, the kids can pull up a bar stool at the breakfast bar or help feed the resident butcher bird, magpies and lorikeets who fly in for a feed each morning.

A tiled, open-plan meals area extends into the casual family living room with windows on both sides and easy access to the yard beyond.

A picket fence helps keeps dogs close to the house, while ponies can enjoy their choice of paddocks. Lighting over the back field is perfect for training on crisp winter mornings or an evening trot after work, while a confined area with a concrete base is perfect for washing down horses in preparation for local shows.

String up the party lights and celebrate your wins with a party in the barn — the perfect size to stow an average-sized float with room for mowers, horse gear and a separate space for feed in the garden shed.

After a long day, the kids will rest easy in their choice of three bedrooms with built-ins, ceiling fans and a neutral family bathroom with corner spa and separate shower, while Mum and Dad can take time out for themselves in the large master with walk-in robe and ensuite.

And the list of features keeps going, including:

* A large linen press and a remote-controlled double garage with further cupboards and
* internal access into the home;
* Ceiling insulation, whirly birds, security screens and a 22,500-litre water tank;
* Fresh new carpet in the formal areas and bedrooms with a neutral colour scheme throughout with high ceilings
* A short stroll to riverside parks, shops and city bus into town and schools, with drop-offs to
* Moggill State School a quick zip in the car; and
* A short ride to pony clubs and riding trails.
