On the entry threshold one is immediately assailed, joyously blown away, by the sheer magnificence and scope of the river panorama that befalls you. Views that take in the length and breadth of two long, broad reaches of the river and also North-East across to Orleigh Park with the cityscape rising beyond. This is really as good as living on the river can possibly get.

Constructed from quality Western Australian sourced sandstone and just six years young, the landmark home itself is already much steeped in rich history. Recycled black butt timber circa 1910 form the floors and huge 100 year old beams from the Navy Wharfs in Townsville, vault skywards to the ceiling.

The roman theatre-like grand formal living area off the entry is classically framed by soaring timber ceilings. Massive bi-fold doors retracted, afford pleasingly rare unobstructed views of the exciting, every changing riverscape beyond. An impressive deer antler candelabra, sleep inducing open fire-place and discreet plasma make this a very special endroit to relax and unwind.

The kitchen is fitted out superbly in stainless steel and Caesar stone with a full compliment of Miele appliances including a built in coffee machine. For practicality a dumb waiter allows the easy conveyance of goods from the garaging below.

Kitchen and meals areas all flow seamlessly to both the formal and informal living areas, and also to the large covered al-fresco entertaining pavilion to the exterior. This area boasts retractable blinds for all day comfort, and is readily serviced through sliding doors and via the large kitchen servery.

The grand master bedroom is perfectly positioned to take full toll of the dramatic water views. It has spacious robes and a quite amazing ensuite that even boasts a sunken travertine bath. A covered external private patio which affords sublime views across the gardens, viewing deck and deepwater pontoon to the water opens discreetly from the master suite.

To the left of the entry is the home office which is a masterpiece of rare silky oak timber and warm colors. A fully integrated aquarium creates movement and calming distraction.

Right off the entry is the large guest suite. Discreetly private, timber shutters open wide to enjoy the sight and sounds of flowing water and the beautiful courtyard garden beyond. With a huge ensuite, separate robes and subdued lighting every guest will feel right at home.

The lower level of the home offers a wide range of tasteful facilities. A private theatrette, with surround sound, projector, complete light block out and raised viewing area offers the ultimate viewing experience. At intermission, relax around the stainless steel mini bar and enjoy your favorite drink. On this level also can be found one of Brisbanes finest professional wine cellars. The 2,400 bottle cellar is temperature controlled and boasts a tasting table and sink.

The motoring enthusiast or (aspiring) car collector will revel in the ballroom like garaging facilities which offer comfortable pillar-free secure parking for 6 or more vehicles.

Other amenities too numerous to mention include full security, ducted air-conditioning, rainwater storage, and C Bus lighting.

Ageless indulgence without compare nor compromise in one of Brisbanes most convenient positions with an enviable array of public transport, shopping, walking, biking and dining options right on your doorstep, on the doorstep to the city itself.
