Alpine Lodge sits atop the Guanaba Gorge on 2 titles across 4 acres of botanic style gardens that have been regenerated and given a new lease on life. The architecturally designed 1960's home is constructed of stone & block walls with sandstone revels around all windows, they just do not build them like this anymore, 60 years young and will still be going strong in another 60. Properties like this on Tamborine Mountain are so very rare, to have this view that can never be built out along with 2 titles on a by Mountain standards a flat block is almost impossible to find let alone have the opportunity to purchase as they are usually very tightly held. There is also history and character attached to this property with many of the outbuildings dated back to the early 1900's, when the property was part of the St Bernards Hotel site including a cabin believed to be used by holiday makers and a potting shed with art deco lead lights. • The long driveway leads over a summer creek through the gardens to the homestead set at the rear of the property • 1960's home featuring local stone architecturally designed using state of the art engineering of the time allowing the residents to enjoy the magnificent view • A double carport that sits above the rain water tank and a covered entry that could be used as a third carport • The lounge with its wall of glass overlooking the gorge is a feat of engineering in itself • Uninterrupted airflow is created by the side patio doors that slide away into the walls for seamless garden entry • The stone fireplace, typical of Glynn Nicholls in design, is a true focal point to the room and talking point • A contemporary kitchen has been installed with plenty of bench, storage and quality appliances and leads to the dining area with picture views over the gardens • Two bathrooms one of which is combined with the laundry have been tastefully remodelled • Four bedrooms in total, two of the bedrooms have glass walls looking out to the spectacular views • A spacious separate studio with its own ensuite bathroom is ideal for guests and includes a bedroom and lounge area • The cabin in the garden could be converted into more accomodation or an office for those working from home or an art studio • The potting shed is a thing of beauty in its own way, restored it could be used for many things • A double garage shed is located in the grounds away from the house, along with the woodshed, former stables and pump sheds • Many varieties of fruit, citrus and nut trees adorn the gardens along with a large section of sweeping lawn to the front of the property • Bore water, rainwater and the summer creek keeps the gardens green all year Alpine Lodge needs to be seen to be appreciated as it offers the new owner a slice of Tamborine Mountains rich history along with a peaceful retreat with some of the best views available. For the those interested in Australian Architecture its is your chance to own a piece of mid century history from one of our famous architects Glynn Nichols. The current owner, who has been meticulously restoring this home while he has been the custodian, spending nearly 2 years fixing everything that had been neglected, broken, overgrown or just simply warn out, leaving the property move in ready for the next owners. There is real potential here too with the opportunity to realign boundaries, build a second dwelling, sell off a title to recoup costs, build onto the current home, develop the other buildings.
