The sight of this magnificent home on arrival is quite breath taking. Nestled in the Mary Valley in the midst of a native remnant rainforest, this special property enables your family, friends and visitors the opportunity to observe animals and birdlife in amongst their native habitat.
The home stands alone as an engineering masterpiece whereby two original Queenslanders with their own histories were moved to the site and joined either side of the large gallery room to become this unique and very large manor called CONNACHT GLEANN. The home boasts full length verandahs and the spacious rotunda makes entertaining delightful. The large bi-fold timber doors when open, enables the festivities to flow seamlessly from the gallery to the rotunda.
The guest wing of the home is functioning as a B&B and the five accommodating en-suited rooms, some with lounging areas, are appointed with period furniture.
The private wing of the home is reserved for the family and will allow to you run the B&B without imposing on your family life whilst entertaining your guests. There is a separate deck for the three bedroom residence allowing your own private entertaining area. The meals are prepared on a 6 burner Smeg gas cooktop stove and the master bedroom is en-suited and features a spa bath for relaxation. Ample quantities of hot water is being provided by way of two separate and independent solar hot water systems each servicing the private and guest wings.
The reception office is situated away from the private residence in the front garden area and has toilet facilities and a kitchenette for convenience. There is plenty of parking on offer with spaces for 16 cars available.
The 76 acres allows visitors a range of views and bushwalks around the property. The photographic opportunity for wedding parties is varied, whether it be views to the Kenilworth bluff, photos in front of the old style stables, or a portrait taken whilst standing by the dam or on the verandahs of the home itself, you can be assured it will be a lasting memory.
A flat and fully fenced 6 acres of the property is retained for the family’s horses and has colonial style yards and two stables for shelter, this part of the property also includes the large dam. The dam has a petrol powered pump that supplies water up to a 5000 gallon header tank which gravity feeds to the gardens.
Power to the property is supplied underground from the boundary to the main box and a 40 amp (8 kva) key start back-up generator provides ample power to the whole complex in case of an emergency. This generator is housed in the 12m x 6m powered shed. 7 x 5000 gallon tanks provide fresh rainwater for all your facilities. This water is captured on the expansive roof area which provides the shelter for the all-inclusive 640 squares of living area on offer.
Do not let the opportunity to own this magnificent property escape you.
