Valley of the Lakes: Retire in style or weekend entertainer, just 90 mins to Brisbane. Gourmet kitchen, 10+ dining, 75,000 Lt water, dams and bore. This substantial, renovated and extended colonial homestead is perched on the hill, enjoying 360 degree views over the Brisbane Valley.
The whole family will love spending their weekends in the country, with five bedrooms, four ensuites (master with bidet) plus a powder room. The beautiful home enjoys polished timber floors, VJ walls and high ceilings (3.5M). The huge eat-in kitchen has a 900cm SMEG stove, Miele dishwasher and Caesar-stone bench tops. The French Godin efficient wood stove/heater in the kitchen will keep you snug on cooler winter nights.
The house benefits from wrap-around verandas on three sides, with a large deck off the kitchen, overlooking the picturesque garden, where fruit trees abound, and roses, lavender, and geraniums bloom. Box hedges and Italian pencil pines give the grounds a formal touch.
Other features include solar hot water, a bore which supplies the orchard irrigation system, eco-friendly sewerage system which recycles water for the rose garden.
There is secure parking for two cars with an automatic garage door, and a five-bay shed and a huge greenhouse dedicated to growing organic vegetables.
The 107 acre property is divided into the house block and three stock paddocks with two dams; so you might like to run a few cattle.
This property would make a wonderful weekender for those seeking a tree-change, and would appeal to those who love entertaining. Also it would appeal to someone with a B&B in mind. The Toogoolawah sky-diving centre and Watts Bridge amateur aviation field are at viewing distance and parachutists can be seen regularly from the deck. Wivenhoe and Somerset Dams are minutes away.
You will be impressed by the separate areas with room for everyone, and the sleek facilities of this architect-designed renovation. However, the knock out feature is the 360 views. Twice a year you can watch fireworks from the front verandah!
This property is priced to sell!
