For the first time ever, this magnificent property is offered for sale. This majestic home, locally known as Vista House, sits at the top of the prestigeous Grandview Terrace. The owners of the property chose this site for the home above all others, the choice was easy since they originally owned the whole area which was once their farmland. Only the best possible position would do and this is it! So, you know that if you make Vista House your home, nobody will occupy a better position.The property is fenced and is approximately 22 1/2 acres and sits over looking the Pacific Ocean from Moreton Bay in the north to Palm Beach in the south. The view is simply breathtaking and is by far the best available from any other property in the Hinterland. To the south west you will enjoy the magical views of Springbrook Mountain and the Purlingbrook Falls. Rarely is land with such views this usable, but the owners used to run their cattle on the property which is totally fenced!The 150 square home itself was built with care and pride using only the best materials that money could buy. It is 23 years old but is timeless in design. It could have been built only yesterday.Care was used in selecting the colours on the exterior of the home so that it blended in with the landscape, very important since the property is visible from the coastal beach areas. Even the V shaped mountain to the rear of the property has been, and is still used, as a landmark for boats and ships out at sea.The property has been engineered to withstand cyclones with the extensive use of steel in the construction.The home is constructed of brick, however, the owners have used over $1 million in cedar throughout the interior and exterior of the home including the French cedar doors and windows. The stone pillars on the exterior of the wide verandahs are a work of art and much of the stone came from the property itself.Rarely do you see a property and find yourself lost for words, but here, there is so much to describe, and the property is so magnificent, that words themselves tend to fail one.Naturally and very importantly, the property is connected to town water, no need to have the tiresome job of ordering water to fill tanks! Also, should there be a power failure you are safe and secure in the knowledge that you do not have to run around lighting candles because the owners catered for that by installing a power generator for back up.Privacy was a very important factor to the owners and accordingly, you will find that the home is secured by gates with an intercom which has stations in each room in the home.As you enter the home you will be in awe of the marble entry and huge crystal chandelier and to greet you is the huge indoor atrium with glass roof.
