As is befitting the homes origins, ornate architectural details feature throughout and include carved plaster columns, coffered ceilings and inlaid marble floors.

It was also very much designed for living and entertaining in style, with sweeping sandstone terraces, formal rooms and even a sunken conversation pit complete with fireplace and a hand laid stone wall.

The current owner has remained true to the propertys original vision, making only judicious improvements using quality materials to both preserve and enhance the unique character for the long term.

As such, the designer kitchen works in well with the interior thanks to its unobtrusive white cabinetry and neutral-coloured stone bench tops. However it is also perfectly suited to todays modern lifestyle with a suite of stainless steel European appliances, two preparation sinks and a vast breakfast bar which sits four.

The rose-hued marble flooring (shipped in specifically from Italy), has been well looked after and still brings a sense of elegance to the formal dining room while a rain-sensitive vergola has been installed over the central courtyard, creating year round usability.

Stepping out onto the terrace, all new sandstone tiles have seen this alfresco zone transformed back to its former glory with views across the surrounding hills, mountains and valleys the perfect finishing touch.

There are three bedrooms, (the main with ensuite and walk-in robe) as well as two bathrooms, a rumpus and a wine cellar.

A self-contained granny flat is nearby and has been renovated, with the house also listing air-conditioning, solar panels (and solar hot water), crimsafe screens on all windows and water tanks.

Further afield, much of the land has been fenced, with yards and paddocks ideal for running cattle. The property is also dotted with mature specimen trees while low maintenance gardens surround the home.

For future owners there is still ample scope to add your own flair and make further improvements, with the property lending itself to additional renovation and expansion, though it is certainly not necessary.

It is also well positioned with a park and primary school within walking distance, several shopping centres nearby in surrounding Laidley, Marburg and Plainlands and with several high school buses servicing the area. Brisbane can be reached in under an hour.

A completely bespoke property rich in character, set atop 8.7 hectares. Uniquely built, uniquely positioned, this is a chance to own a local icon.
