Imagine 60,000 bricks being used to create a truly magnificent manor home of classic proportions. This large home has been built on a 4446sq m block on the corner of Sunrise and Wust Roads in Doonan using traditional stonemasonry. This property is completely secluded and hidden from view with its established and lush green bushland surrounds making it peaceful and quiet.

Driving up the compacted stone driveway through the grounds of this fine estate to the main house, seven curved stairs lead you to a grand entrance. Large columns support a wide wrap around veranda with slate flooring taking you into polished wooden floors inside. Once inside, the magnitude of the open plan living spaces is evident where the lounge area is enhanced with a large open traditional stone fireplace.

Freestanding country-style wooden cabinets have been built into the vast kitchen with its granite and solid timber benchtops truly complimenting the ambience of the whole property and offering plenty of useable space. The kitchen carries on the manor feel of the home seamlessly with a large De Longhi electric oven and five burner gas cooktop to make the traditional Sunday roast and entertaining feel effortless. Also built into the kitchen is an aged butchers block with knife slots on either side of the benchspace and a six stack wine rack underneath. The kitchen also boasts a Whirlpool dishwasher, large pantry and views out to the coast which can be admired when cooking up a feast.

Step up from the dining area into a study nook and further on towards a storage room with access to the roof and underneath the house. A powder room adjoins the large laundry which takes you through to the outdoor clothesline with clean gardens lining the fence.

The northern wing of this home is designed to be the masters retreat and the southern boasts two more bedrooms with a shared walk-through bathroom. The master and second master bedrooms feature private open fireplaces with wonderful stone finishes. The master also has access to a private terrace which would be wonderful to sit back and relax while taking in the beautiful views and serene bushland surrounds. The master also has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite which has been shown the same great attention to detail as the rest of the house. All bedrooms are oversized, have ceiling fans and the same exposed stonework which truly compliments the ambience of the whole property.

The original building has been re-bricked and converted into an outhouse fitted with a kitchenette, bathroom and air conditioning. It offers the potential to be a home office, teenage retreat, games room or possibly a secondary income. This estate boasts double door remote entry to a three car garage which has the same feature walls as the main house as well as undercover parking for a further three cars, boat or caravan.

A walk around the grounds will show you established eucalypts, several varieties of bamboo, mango and pandanus trees boasting plenty of natural wildlife adding to the ambience of this grand home. A purpose built lookout can alternatively be used as an entertaining deck and looks out over Lake Weyba and further towards the coast. There is also plenty of room for a pool within these grounds which also features a brick columned gazebo with slate flooring continuing up past another outdoor entertaining patio complete with ceiling fan, to the main house.

The beauty of this home is not only the special detail that has been put into it, nor is it the evidence of quality craftsmanship through the traditional stonemasonry but the original feel of grandeur at first glance is seamlessly carried throughout this magnificent home.
