Prospective buyers are encouraged to submit best offers by 10th June 2026. Some homes offer space. Some offer lifestyle. Very few offer both, this close to the heart of Ipswich. Privately set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this remarkable residence feels worlds away from its surroundings. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of calm, space and seclusion that immediately sets it apart. It feels hidden In the best possible way. Set across an extraordinary 2,024m² land parcel, the scale alone is almost impossible to replicate this close to the CBD. In a city recognised as Queensland's fastest-growing region, where space, privacy and position are becoming increasingly rare, this is the kind of opportunity buyers wait years to find. And for the first time since it was built, it is now being offered to the market. Held within the same family for over 50 years, this is a home with a genuine sense of history, warmth and belonging. It has been lived in, loved, celebrated in and carefully maintained for the next family to enjoy. And what a lifestyle it offers. Designed for family living on a grand yet deeply comfortable scale, the home unfolds through a series of beautifully considered zones. There are spaces to gather, spaces to retreat, spaces to entertain and spaces that allow the home to evolve with every stage of family life. It works because it understands how families actually live. At the centre, soaring 4m cathedral ceilings, polished hardwood timber floors and an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space create a true sense of occasion. The home has been positioned to embrace its elevated outlooks, drawing light, greenery and distant mountain views into the spaces used every day. This is where the home becomes unforgettable. The fully renovated kitchen has been designed for people who genuinely love to cook, host and bring others together. It is made for long lunches, catered celebrations, private chefs, family milestones and evenings where everyone naturally gathers around the island. From the central living area, the home flows effortlessly onto the elevated entertaining deck taking full advantage of the beautiful outlooks. Creating a home where entertaining does not feel like an occasional event. It becomes part of the way you live.

With the fully enclosed courtyard giving a very secluded and private feel. The setting is peaceful, green and deeply secluded. Yet everything is just minutes away.
