Wights Mountain QLD 4520

Architect Dennis Cantwell is familiar with the Wights Mountain region, having lived as a local himself.
Mr Cantwell s plans of renovating and extending the existing space were executed by builder Barry Kuenz of Loyalty Homes.
Wherever you move within the building, there is always a view of the surrounding forest and mountains.
The 18-month transformation created a free-flowing family hub which draws people in.
Impressive features, including a soaring 30ft ceiling and solid exposed bridge timbers, only enhance a lovely feeling of comfort and security.
An extensive use of glass frames the best of the outdoors and amplifies the volume of natural light.
Glass also partitions rooms on the second level from the main living area below.
It is again used impressively in the circular staircase balustrade, and forms part of the kitchen roof.
Gather with friends around the log-burning fireplace or curl up with a book in the library.
The open-plan layout allows for cooking to occur in the kitchen while children work on craft in the lounge room.
High-end appliances include a 6-burner ILVE gas hob and electric oven with a large rangehood, and an integrated ILVE dishwasher.
A spacious second level master suite includes an ensuite, walk-through wardrobe and lounge area.
Its peaked ceilings, timber frames, multiple windows and outside covered decking are consistent across the home.
The beauty of this residence hides its efficiency.
This is a high-tech property which is controlled via a smart phone, from the electric gate s 3G intercom with remote opening capability to the automatic lighting.
There is Cbus and Wiser home control which is manipulated via laptop, wired Ethernet/network ports in most rooms, media sources (Foxtel, Blu-Ray, Apple TV) sent to any room, and a high-gain antenna for improved 4G coverage.
The house also has 1.5kW solar electricity with 50c/kWh rebate, 15kW ducted air conditioning downstairs, 5kW reverse-cycle split system air conditioning in the master bedroom, gas hot water and main oven, a hot water main ring, and LED and CFL lighting.
This mountain grand design is on 2.11ha of land around 19km northwest of Brisbane.
Also included with the property are four water tanks, Cbus controlled irrigation, an enclosed paddock and dam, a powered shed, and a solar heated pool with premium deck boards and a laser-cut feature fence.
Wights Mountain is a rural suburb in the peaceful and popular Samford Valley, just five minutes from Samford Village.
