Rarely does a property in such a special location come onto the market, and it is with regret that the sellers offer this unique piece of Springbrook for sale.
This property is elevated approximately 2450 feet a.s.l., overlooking the escarpment with wonderful views to the east and north-east over Surfers and the ocean beyond, and catching the natural southeasterly breezes which provide the wonderfully green, natural air-conditioning in Summer with just the best quality negative-ion air.
The property is "off the beaten track", and is one of only 4 within this precinct, with no more development permitted, and so affords peace and quiet with no regular passing traffic at all.
Set on well over half an acre (2590m2) of really interesting pristine rainforest,
the house itself is a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, split level design with open plan kitchen (island gas hob), dining and living rooms on the one level, all opening onto a full length back verandah and the views mentioned above.
The master bedroom is huge, as is the ensuite, and the other 2 spacious bedrooms and the bathroom are to the rear of the house.
A central woodfire heater provides coziness and comfort for the whole house on those cold winter days and nights.
Water is abundant, and stored in a very large cistern under an entertaining deck. The grounds are virtually maintenance-free due to the nature of the vegetation.
This idyllic property has been in a family holding basically until the current owners bought in 1995.
It has been used almost exclusively as their private holiday house, but would afford permanent residency with a little finishing off here and there. Just as it is, however, it would be perfect as a retirement house, but if extra space was required for a larger family, the downstairs is open, but suitable to be easily built in if further living area, rumpus, even another bedroom, might be desired.
Denizens of the forest are a constant source of interest with paddy-melons, bower birds (satin and regent), possums and sugar gliders, turkeys, echidnas, lorikeets and parrots of every description, black cockatoos and many other wildlife all putting in appearances from time to time. The back yard is a fascinating education in itself with the wide variety of flora as well.
