Within 1 hour of the Brisbane CBD or Brisbane Airport is this uniquely spectacular 50 acre serene lifestyle property, totally secluded in the hills of the Brisbane Valley, just 25 minutes west of Ipswich, 2 minutes from the village of Fernvale, and close by the ever popular recreational facilities of Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams. Enjoy the purity of a country lifestyle, just 2 minutes from Fernvale, where you will find Woolworths Shopping Centre, tavern, Post Office and Sporting complex. Fernvale has full medical facilities including dental and optometry and is soon to open a radiology clinic. With produce and hardware, hotel and motels, and Country Golf Club just 10 minutes away in nearby Lowood. The ultimate country escape, privately overlooking the picturesque vistas up and down the Brisbane River. The stately colonial style home with verandas on all sides was strategically built high on the bend of the river to purposely take in the spectacular views in all directions. This sunny and inviting home also provides many outdoor entertainment areas including a 13 metre lap pool with extensive sandstone paved area. The standalone raised Gazebo is the ultimate place to relax and watch the sunset with the 360 degree views, before being tempted to stroll through the arch into the tropical hidden garden beneath the 100+ year old Fig tree. This elevated position captures the cool summer breeze while also staying warm in winter. All rooms have double French doors and glass panels that open out to the wrap around verandas, with the main bedroom, en-suite and walk-in robe positioned to take in the views. The large timber deck adjoins the open plan living areas which overlook the Hollywood style pool with the backdrop being the Brisbane River. There is an expansive studio utility room downstairs, spilling outside with bathroom the private courtyard attached. With the addition of a very comfortable fully self-contained granny flat with kitchen, bathroom and living space in the converted barn. 600 metres of river frontage for your own private fishing and camping leisure. There are underground irrigation mains for the 20 acres (approximately) of fertile river flats, two horse stables and feed room, a full mezzanine storage facility above the granny flat in the barn, 2 large rainwater tanks near the house, and a 5hp submersible pump in the river feeding an enormous water tank on the hill above, that gravity feeds water into the house and garden. Never run out of water, as this property has available a license to draw up to 40mgl of water from the river each year, providing sufficient irrigation for any rural or farming activity, regardless of climate. The property is fully fenced, portioned into 2 large livestock paddocks below a good sized elevated house paddock, which remains invisible to passing traffic and prying eyes, forever peaceful and undisturbed despite the rapid growth of the area. Enjoy canoeing on the river, horse rides and bush walks through the neighbouring State Forests and entertaining family and friends in true Hollywood style from its many vantage points.
