Spinks Co Residential is proud to present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure an elite lifestyle that offers both the beauty of the bush and the heartbeat of the city. Secluded behind wrought iron gates at the foothills of Mount Coot-tha lies 'WARROON' - a rare 4.5-hectare sanctuary where the natural beauty of the bushland reserve meets the refined, classic architecture of a grand Australian homestead. The classic architecture is enhanced by a highly functional floorplan, cleverly conceived to meet the expectations of all ages and stages of modern family living. In fact, this is a home for every chapter of family life, offering the space, flexibility, and thoughtful design to support children from their earliest years through to young adulthood. Situated approximately 10 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, this 11-acre estate offers a level of peace and privacy that is almost impossible to find so close to the city. A grand arrival begins at the secure, gated entrance, where a long, winding, tree-lined drive serves as a gentle transition from the outside world. The drive meanders past a floodlit championship tennis court and adjoining tennis pavilion before ascending to the homestead. Built in the 1980's and positioned on an elevated, flat parcel of land, the expansive residence is constructed of Helidon Sandstone. Here family and friends are greeted by a wide wrap around bullnose veranda, and exquisite leadlight glass. Entry through double doors reveals a large, light-filled foyer with views to the Italian Parterre courtyard, a tranquil backdrop to daily life. The home has been skilfully planned in a u-shaped design around this beautiful courtyard, ensuring almost every corner of the home is bathed in natural light. Inside, warm Brushbox ceilings soar to 6-metre cathedral height. They are anchored by two magnificent double-sided sandstone gas fireplaces. Generous sash windows invite the mountain breezes inside and bay windows frame views of lush, landscaped grounds, while the oversized doors ensure a seamless flow from inside to outdoors. The luxury residence is designed for both formal and relaxed entertaining. The wing to the left of the foyer is dedicated to the energy of family life. The casual dining area and large family room are separated by a double-sided sandstone fireplace and feature a large bay window. These rooms open out to the flat, family-friendly lawn, swimming pool, and outdoor entertaining area. The adjoining hall leads to the children's accommodation. Three well-appointed bedrooms, each with air-conditioning, built-in robes and garden views share the large family bathroom with double vanity, corner spa bath, separate shower, and a separate toilet. A spacious laundry is also located in this wing, featuring Wyer & Craw cabinetry, generous storage, and direct access to the pool and outdoor clothesline. The right wing is a sophisticated retreat containing the formal lounge, formal dining room (currently used as a pool room) and the master bedroom suite. This wing also showcases its own double sided sandstone fireplace and a lovely bay window overlooking the gardens. The master suite enjoys exceptional privacy, with a generous bedroom adjoined by a private courtyard with a hot tub. It also features a generous walk-in-robe and a luxury ensuite with Wyer & Craw cabinetry, double vanity with Carrara marble and a wet area with rain shower & soaking bath. Strategically located at the heart of the home, a magnificent provincial style kitchen effortlessly supports both the formal and family wings. A very wide window captures beautiful morning light while overlooking the treetops, gardens, and tennis court. Designed and built by Wyer & Craw, it features an expansive centre island, ideal for large-scale entertaining, casual coffee catchups and breakfast on the go. It is equipped with Miele appliances including double door fridge, dishwasher, induction cooktop, oven, and combi-oven and a Vintec wine fridge. Thoughtfully integrated into the kitchen is a dedicated homework and computer station. Designed for seamless supervision, it features multiple stations with powered drawers to discreetly store and charge devices, allowing parents to stay connected with kids' studies while busy in the kitchen. Adding an extra dimension to the home's layout, elegant spiral staircases at either end of the residence lead to two expansive loft rooms. These versatile bonus spaces offer endless possibilities to suit your lifestyle; perhaps a yoga studio or private gym tucked away above the formal wing, and a movie room, music studio, or recreation hub at the children's end. One of the most versatile features of this property is the separate self-contained guest house, located across the courtyard from the main residence. Featuring a spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a private mezzanine bedroom, it is an ideal sanctuary for multi-generational living, long term guests, or a live-in au pair. Alternatively, its quiet separation from the main home makes it a premier professional office suite, artist's studio, or music retreat. Most significantly this is a home which offers a lifetime of celebrations. Over the decades, this elegant residence and its sprawling grounds have hosted a myriad of milestones - raucous kids' birthday parties, grand garden weddings and 21st birthday parties to elegant fashion parades and charity fundraisers with sit-down dinners for over 150 guests in the Italian Parterre courtyard.Imagine tennis tournaments on the floodlit championship court, followed by cocktails in the pavilion or a summer afternoon by the shimmering swimming pool. Whether it is a formal Christmas lunch with the extended family or a casual weekend BBQ where the kids have room to run free, this estate handles entertaining with effortless grace. Backing directly onto the Mount Coot-tha Reserve, you have immediate access to world-class hiking and riding trails. Yet, remarkably, you are just a 5-minute drive to all the amenities of The Gap Shopping Village, The Gap Health & Racquet Club, nearby gyms, Ashgrove Golf Course & Taylor Range Country Club. A bus service at the end of the street connects to Brisbane's finest public and private schools.
