A sense of privacy and grandeur is immediately established as you arrive via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, where this grand two-storey residence is set well back from the street and framed by established tropical landscaping across a substantial 5,526m² allotment. The setting unfolds as a private sanctuary, with manicured lawns, mature trees, and a calm atmosphere that defines acreage living at its finest. A welcoming tiled front porch introduces the home, offering a peaceful spot to sit and take in the tranquil surrounds of the front lawn. Inside, a high-ceiling foyer delivers a striking first impression, setting the tone for a residence defined by space and thoughtful design. Anchoring the home, the kitchen delivers a warm and functional design featuring solid timber cabinetry, granite benchtops, generous storage, and a substantial breakfast bar. A servery window connects directly to the outdoor entertaining area, enhancing flow and functionality for both relaxed living and entertaining. The adjoining dining zone is well suited to family meals, while multiple living areas on the lower level provide outstanding flexibility - including a front lounge, a separate multipurpose room ideal as a media or games space and a dedicated home office further enhancing the home's practicality and appeal. The lower level also includes a dedicated bathroom, complemented by an external vanity for added practicality and ease of use. A beautifully crafted timber staircase connects both levels, offering a warm architectural feature upon arrival and providing practical under-stair storage for added functionality. The upper level continues to impress with five generously proportioned bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. The entire upper level is carpeted for comfort, with the exception of the bathrooms, enhancing both warmth and practicality throughout. All bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom is a standout, featuring floor-to-ceiling travertine tiling, marble vanity tops, and a large walk-in shower, delivering a refined spa-like retreat. The master suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and direct access to a secluded veranda, shared with two additional bedrooms. The sophisticated ensuite enhances the sense of resort-style living, creating a calm and luxurious retreat designed for comfort and relaxation. Stepping outside, you are welcomed by a substantial undercover seating zone, providing the ideal space for year-round entertaining. The outdoor area is where the property truly comes into its own as a lifestyle estate. A sparkling inground swimming pool is framed by lush tropical gardens, creating a private resort-style setting designed for both relaxation and family living on a grand scale. Mature fruit trees, including mango, lychee, banana, dragon fruit, and mulberry, further enhance the sense of self-sufficiency and relaxed acreage living. Practical infrastructure is equally impressive, with a powered four-car garage with workshop space, and additional storage options catering to vehicles, tools, and hobbies. A dedicated green house is ideal for gardening enthusiasts, complementing the established grounds and productive planting areas. The property is well-supported by quality infrastructure, including a bore connected to a semi-automatic irrigation system ensuring year-round greenery, an electric front gate with exposed aggregate driveway, and a 5.7kW solar system helping reduce energy costs.
