Enjoy life in this peaceful location, in the centre of Springbrook village, high on the ridge to capture the sunshine, knowing there is only quiet farmland both behind and in front of the property. You have the privacy of rainforest trees and farm meadows on the rear boundary and Echo Valley farm straight across the road from the front boundary with its rolling paddocks and grazing cattle. Stroll across to the farm stall where you can buy organic eggs, firewood, pesticide free fruit & vegetables and home made jams and sauces. If you have a bit more of a sweet tooth, then the famous Fudge Shop is a short walk to the end of the road where you can enjoy homemade fudge, delicious coffees and ice creams! Whilst many homes on the mountain are of timber construction, you can sleep easily here knowing that you are living in a solid brick home. Constructed in 1979, this double storey house was designed to a very high standard with a Hawaiian Gable feature roof to even withstand cyclones! It has a homely cottage feel, like a warm hug as the living room flows around to the dining and kitchen areas with 2 sets of sliding glass doors leading out onto a gorgeous timber deck where you can enjoy the views! The ground floor has tiled floors throughout for easy maintenance and cleaning and there is a laundry and separate toilet. The internal timber staircase leads you up to the first floor which is full of light, where the sunshine pours in through the large picture windows, reflecting across all of its gorgeous hardwood timber floors. You have a master with ensuite and double built in wardrobes, a large family bathroom and 2 further great sized bedrooms which also have double built in wardrobes. The land is an easily maintained 819m2 block, with a freestanding brick built double garage and concrete driveway and pathway leading to the front door. You will enjoy a host of natural wildlife in your garden including Lyrebirds, King parrots, Kookaburras, Bush turkeys and the odd Pademelon (small-like kangaroo). The current owners have done a great job with maintaining the property, by giving it a new roof, a new verandah and a fresh coat of paint which came with a 10 year warranty. Whether you wish to update some of the interior or keep all its original charm, 35 Lyrebird Ridge Road will make a fabulous family home for the owner occupier or investor alike. Council rates are cheap here, approx. $800 for 6 months and you have no council water rates bill!
