A one-of-a-kind retreat on five usable acres of land, this uniquely designed family home combines modern engineering with timeless Queensland character in a convenient village setting. The property capitalises on a perfect northeast aspect for maximum passive solar efficiency, with natural light and warmth cocooning the house in winter but allowing it to breath and remain cool during the summer months. The home is crafted from Sydney sandstock convict bricks and introduced by a striking entryway featuring reclaimed wharf timber columns, with ample living spaces, an entertainers' kitchen and generous accommodation, all framed by pristine acreage featuring gently undulating lawns and gardens, a crystal clear dam with extensive catchment and serenely private in-ground saltwater pool. Established trees and hedges frame the fully fenced boundaries of the property, while an expansive raised deck area and extra height, four-bay garage/carport are among the many other desirable attributes. The property is situated in a safe no-thoroughfare area with easy access via private back gate to the village centre and trails, just 10 minutes from Ferny Grove Train Station and within half-an-hour of Brisbane CBD.
