For those who love the peace and tranquility of a country property, but also demand a top quality design and build, it can be hard to find the perfect combination – which is why this glorious residence won’t be on the market for long!
This sophisticated home has a wonderful look and feel, offering the peace and solitude of its own, private 4.62 hectare (11.4 acres) estate, yet within easy reach of shops, cafes and a school in picturesque Pomona.
For the current owners, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been many things – a family home, an idyllic rural playground for their children, a rainforest retreat, and an inspiration for the well known artist in the family.
What is unusual about this property is the 2.5 hectares of natural remnant rainforest, with wide walking tracks leading to Six Mile Creek on the boundary. Bordered by National Park on two sides, there is also direct access to the Noosa tracks and trails network.
However, there is enough cleared land around the house itself, for a game of cricket or football, or even a pony.
And then there’s the lagoon-style saltwater pool, a cooling oasis during the summer months.
The home itself is spacious and well maintained, boasting grand cathedral ceilings, that reach 4 metres at their peak.
Built in a modern Queenslander style of solid rendered brick, there’s a striking butterfly staircase to the entry and western red cedar French doors open to the north-facing verandah, overlooking the pool.
The wide verandah wraps around the home on three sides, providing ample space for entertaining, or simply relaxing and taking in the pretty and serene surrounds.
The beautiful kitchen is the heart of the home, boasting endless top quality features, including marble bench tops, Miele dishwasher, hardwood timber cupboards, soft close drawers, breakfast bar, gas cook top and a big bay window overlooking the gardens.
Imported Italian terracotta floor tiles flow throughout the huge, open plan living areas and master bedroom.
Ceiling fans throughout keep the home lovely and cool in summer, while a slow combustion fireplace is warm and welcoming come winter. There’s a gas bayonet fitting, too.
Naturally, the huge master bedroom has a walk-in robe, plus a spacious ensuite with enough room to fit a glorious free-standing bath to take in the wonderful views. French doors open onto two sides of the verandah.
The other bedrooms all have built-in robes and ceiling fans, and two open to the verandah. Clever design has placed 2 of the bedrooms and the main bathroom in a separate wing, for added privacy and seclusion.
Space will never be an issue here, with myriad hideaways to escape to on the property, including the cute cubby house, which was the “artist-in-residence.”
Under the house is a triple lock-up garage, suitable to park one car plus the ride-on mower and other tools and toys. There’s a carport, too, to park a further two cars plus a small boat or trailer.
Whether you’re seeking the serenity of the bush, a children’s paradise for your family, a place to retreat, or simply your own private rainforest full of rare, visiting birds, this is it.
