Where can else can you find a professional equestrian property with all the work done and so close to a capital city?
This 50 acre property is ideally positioned for convenience without compromising open space and views to nearby mountains. It is located just 50 minutes easy drive from Brisbane CBD and 50 minutes from the Gold Coast beaches. It is ideally situated for the horse enthusiast of any discipline, being on the northern end of the area known as the 'horse capital of Queensland', close to racetracks, polo fields, and major riding clubs.
We engaged a great architect to design us a fabulous home to take advantage of our great climate and views. We've loved living here - now you can have the same great lifestyle we've enjoyed.
The striking, contemporary, architect-designed 3 bedroom home is on several levels and features cathedral ceilings, extensive use of glass, exposed beams, and with its stylish individual design it invites comfort and relaxation. It is smart-wired and networked and the CBus control enables one-touch operation over lighting, security and irrigation. There's five independent audio-visual zones so everyone can enjoy their own entertainment.
The master bedroom overlooks the living areas, has a double ensuite with fossil stone bench, floor to ceiling tiling, Grohe tapware and a large private deck overlooking the property. Care has gone into the planting of wisteria vines around the deck to maximise summer shade and allow winter sun.
The suspended dining room is flooded with light from the skylight which extends the length of the home.
Downstairs, there are two bedrooms, bathroom and laundry with fossil stone benches, office, lounge with indoor/outdoor fireplace and ultra modern kitchen featuring birds-eye maple finish, granite benchtops, Kleenmaid appliances, ice-maker fridge and fully enclosed bar for ease of entertaining. The birds-eye maple features in built-in cabinetry throughout the home - in the lounge, dining, study, bathroom, ensuite and laundry. Large verandahs are an extension of the home, the use of glass ensuring the transition from inside to outside living. Stairs lead from the carport and covered entry into the stunning foyer. The home also features a 6 person spa.
Outside there are 13 paddocks with electric fencing - 10 with horse shelters, a floodlit 60m x 20m dressage arena with mirrors and a covered viewing platform, a bore, and three dams - two of which are creek fed, while the other receives the overflow from the property's water tanks via underground piping. The paddock water troughs are connected to the bore for automatic filling.
The stable block is well set up with 10 rooms and a huge central breezeway. There are 6 roomy boxes with automatic waters, internal crush and wash bay, self-contained accommodation for workers, kitchen and laundry, air conditioned utility/tack room, 3 phase power, roller doors at each end and all with security camera coverage. There is also a machinery shed to house tractor, horse float and other farm equipment.
A large driveway turning circle allows for ease of access for trucks, floats and trailers. Beautiful landscaped gardens surround the home and there's a very productive vegetable garden and orchard. Extensive, well-maintained lawns, coupled with the gardens truly make this a boutique property.
With small acreage development on the eastern and southern boundaries and road frontages to the western and northern boundaries, there is great potential for future development, subject to zoning approval. The edge of the new Greater Flagstone Urban Development Area is only 800 metres North of the property, the future employment precincts of Bromelton State Development Area - 2km to the South-West, and North Maclean - 10km to the North-North-East, and the shopping, dining, business and education facilities of Jimbommba 6km to the North-East, are all close-by.
