Private forest retreat with dual living for AirBNB income

Extraordinary design connects you with the natural environment in this quality, architecturally-designed property, which is being presented to the market for the first time in 34 years.
Both the family home and separate private cottage were designed and built by renowned architect Craig Ferguson of Fergbilt, recognised for his clever use of space, light and airflow to build remarkable homes that celebrate Queensland’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
The spacious and striking 4-bed + office main residence is a masterpiece that delights the senses as you take in amazing views across your private valley, tranquil birdsong, and the gentle scent of eucalyptus, jasmine, lavender and rosemary from the established low maintenance gardens that blend Australian natives with a taste of the Mediterranean. From the huge gourmet kitchen (with loads of storage, stone benchtops and quality AEG stainless appliances) to the generous selection of living spaces and private master suite, every room connects you with nature and the great outdoors, where you can watch the abundance of wildlife (including wallabies, koalas, bandicoots, echidnas and more than 100 species of birds) from the cool comfort of your own paradise.
The private self-contained cottage offers space for extended family, or an easy second income through Airbnb bookings while maintaining total privacy for the main residence. Packed with storage options, the adjacent two-story studio and shed is the perfect place for working uninterrupted by the outside world.
Styled in soothing tones and finishes inspired by the property, both house and cottage explore the natural elements with timber and stone features that flow easily onto decks overlooking towering grey gums and kilometres of private walking tracks. Backing onto state forestry with easy access to bike paths connecting to local schools and transport, this property is peaceful, private and a true retreat from the city - though only 5 minutes from Ferny Grove rail and a plethora of dining and shopping options.
Just minutes from everything, this private retreat is the ideal getaway for the modern family who want a peaceful escape from the city, with room for the kids to grow.
