With over three acres of pristine gardens gently winding down to 65m of tranquil river frontage, a pool, pontoon and renovated home, this property offers all the right ingredients for a showpiece riverfront estate. On the Moggill Bellbowrie border, this riverfront position is much sought after, with the property surrounded by stately homes and equally private grounds. Furthermore the view is rare, with a vista looking out across a wide stretch of the Brisbane River to a leafy panorama that belies its proximity to the city.
The serene ambience of this rural acreage is evident as you enter through automated gates and follow the extensive driveway to the home. The gardens have been lovingly maintained for more than thirty years resulting in the entire property being dotted with mature specimen trees – an impressive feature that can only ever be created with time and patience.
As to the home itself, most rooms enjoy tranquil water views across the saltwater pool to the river beyond. This is especially so of the open plan family areas which have recently enjoyed tasteful renovations and now boast stylish good looks, plentiful glass for the gorgeous outlook, high ceilings and atmospheric lighting. Quality fittings and fixtures have been installed throughout together with a timeless neutral palette that is universally appealing. These attributes are perhaps best characterised by the contemporary kitchen which boasts a walk-in pantry, stone bench tops, Italian Bisazza tiles and a central position with both formal and casual dining areas located nearby. With just a few minor touches the home’s three bedrooms, peaceful garden room and 2.5 bathrooms could easily be brought up to the high standard of the rest of the property in turn creating a beautiful home so befitting of its exclusive surrounds.
Outside, the grounds are immaculate, with a fernery, low maintenance gardens and the specimen trees which include a stand of soaring Hoop Pines that flank the home’s main entrance and circular drive. Plentiful outdoor lighting has been installed so that even at night, this display of natural beauty can be fully appreciated. Alfresco dining is enjoyed on a large, riverside deck; elevated among the trees it is able to catch a cooling breeze no matter the time of day. With full power, shade and the river below, it is ideal for long relaxed lunches with friends. The pontoon is a most desired inclusion to this property. The opportunities to moor your boat, cast a line in the river or catch a mud crab or two are only part of the privileged lifestyle that a riverfront home brings.
This is a wonderful property that needs just a few minor adjustments to create a showpiece home. It has position, views, great entertaining areas, beautiful gardens and is within a five minute drive of Bellbowrie Shopping Centre, public transport and a host of other amenities. Stately showpiece? Sure. Astute investment? Absolutely. But more than that, this property offers an excellent lifestyle, a tranquil beauty and a really welcoming feel that makes you want to call it home.
