Originally built in 1906, "Kananbie" is located on five acres of usable farmland. Built by the Pringles Family at the turn of the last century, this magnificent property was the homestead for the largest dairy farm and buttery that serviced the entire area. Only 45 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, "Kananbie" has been recently renovated to the highest standard. Surrounded by gently undulating hills between Samford and Dayboro, with easy access to the Brisbane CBD, Kobble Creek is an idyllic rural bushland setting for the modern family seeking a quieter lifestyle and more space. The lucky buyer will benefit from the care and consideration the existing owners have given to the extensive renovations. There is a balance between maintaining character whilst still offering all of the modern amenities you would expect on this sprawling 5-acre property. The property has the feel of a country club with a pool, sauna, and north-facing decks to capture the sun and breezes throughout the year. Features include: • Six bedrooms spread across multiple wings of the house provides privacy and separation for older children and guests; • Extensively renovated in 2021, with thought and care to offer modern touches while maintaining character features; • Expansive new kitchen is the heart of the home, with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and ample storage; • Five-acre allotment which includes a cleared paddock for livestock, three water tanks totaling 84,000 litres, solar power, citrus orchard and established mature trees; • 100m of Kobble Creek frontage providing your own private watering hole; • Incredible lifestyle for entertaining with a salt-water pool, traditional five-person Finnish sauna with WiFi, and wine cellar; • Opportunity for the equestrian family with a fenced paddock with dam, ideal for horses and other livestock and the space for a dressage arena; • 15-minute drive from Samford Village and 7 minutes to Dayboro. Entering the property from the road, you are greeted by a sweeping circular driveway that winds through manicured lawns up to the beautifully presented home. Quiet and picturesque, having driven beyond the charming village of Samford, you will feel a world away from the Brisbane CBD while still being within easy reach of all amenities. Walking up the front steps, you are greeted by wraparound verandahs that connect all wings of the home with the large entertaining deck at the centre of the property. Once you are home, you won't want to leave as the lifestyle on offer here is second to none. There are three bedrooms on the upper level, each of which are generously proportioned with custom cabinetry, original breezeways, and many of the original character fixtures. Two of the bedrooms are serviced by a large family bathroom with stunning tiling, large shower, freestanding bath and the convenience of a laundry chute. The master bedroom is expansive, with a large walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with striking Carrara marble throughout. Crossing to the main pavilion, you find the living area and kitchen with soaring ceilings and two fireplaces for cozy winter evenings. Also in this wing is a sixth bedroom that would also serve well as a home office or a workspace to receive clients, as there is a separate entrance and bathroom. The kitchen has been completely reconfigured and is a standout feature of the home. There is ample space for meal preparation including a 3.75m island bench, and the storage space is unparalleled. Custom cabinetry goes from floor to ceiling, and the deep cupboards and drawers have Blum soft close features. Two appliance cupboards, one with a lazy Susan, gives you easy access to all your kitchen goods and appliances. The chef of the family will love the two ovens - one steam, one convection - Franke gas stovetop with Elica downdraft rangehood, and two full-size dishwashers. Continuing downstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms in addition to a large rumpus area. This is an ideal setup for families who frequently have guests or older children who are seeking some privacy and independence. The rumpus area opens onto a covered patio which flows onto the fully fenced in-ground pool. The pool is visible from the upstairs entertaining deck, allowing children to swim and play while the adults entertain upstairs. From both the patio and entertaining deck you have sweeping views of the property, and can enjoy the cooling breezes. In addition to the incredible resort lifestyle at home, you will also be within easy reach of all amenities. Samford Village is a short drive away, as are the Ferny Grove or Petrie train stations. You will be within the Dayboro State School catchment areas, and Kobble Creek is well serviced by bus routes from many private schools on Brisbane's northside. Active families will love the proximity to Lake Samsonvale where you can bushwalk, fish, sail, or kayak plus you can explore at nearby Cedar Creek Falls. The bustling cafes of Samford will be the perfect start to your weekend mornings. You can really have the best of both worlds at "Kananbie" - this is your opportunity to move to the country, whilst still being close to all the amenities of a capital city.
