THE MOST ENVIABLE OF ALL DOMESTIC RESIDENCES  

Sundowners is perhaps the most enviable of all domestic residences in the Scenic Rim district of south east Queensland. Nestled half-way up a private 1,000 ft mountain, the solitary main residence is set facing panoramic views overlooking the nearby Darlington Ranges and the rolling grazing meadows below that lazily stretch along the banks of the pristine flowing waters of Canungra Creek. The 50 acre estate also includes another modern home (closer to the creek) and the current astute owners now have Local Government approval to construct five accommodation cabins at a higher level above the main residence. A spacious ‘L’ shaped covered entertainment deck greets the visitor on arrival.

This area has direct access to a massive open interior that attractively combines a large modern kitchen with a formal dining and lounge with an essential fireplace setting in winter. This living space is ideal for large family living, or for comfortable party entertaining. The whole residence embodies recycled timber finishes (cathedral ceilings, etc) and a wealth of special features. Not forgetting the wide-view elevated bird’s eye perspective from every main room. Two double bedrooms, family bathroom, vanity recess, separate toilet, laundry, double car garage and workshop are all located on this one easily accessible level. Stairs from the open living area lead to an effective office space that boasts its own deck.

The large master bedroom features its own spacious walk-in-wardrobe and modern en-suite. Outside the sound of the babbling creek 500 ft below can be clearly heard in harmony with the songs of the local bird population. Above, members of a well established wedge tail eagle family at times punctuate the sky. Sundowners is truly a unique and natural example of high-rise country living. Well situated on the lower side of the mountain is the second contemporary home (almost identical in design to the higher main residence with its ventilated open planned kitchen, dining and lounge room). This area looks out to a covered entertainment area and also a landscaped garden, which is currently under construction.

The four bedrooms air-conditioned home and living area, as in the main residence, features an effective combination of recycled timber even the highly polished hardwood flooring came from the old Brisbane Stadium and its attractive spotted gum cathedral ceiling totally embraces the country lifestyle theme. A typical family room, office and study are located at the rear of the home. All of the main rooms overlook the sparkling waters of Canungra Creek that peacefully splashes its way over the rocks and boulders throughout the base of this estate. Where, the pleasure of anticipating walking along its short green grassed banks and the unbroken solitude of lounging on a large stream rock, beyond a swimming hole on your own property is what Sundowners is all about.

Such a landscape can never be duplicated. This lofty estate is only a ten minute drive to Canungra’s shopping/commercial centre and its popular restaurants and just over a half hour drive to the relaxing beaches of the fabulous Gold Coast. The Sundowners of this world are fast diminishing. Especially any properties that have any form of commercial potential. It extends an invitation to an extended family that may wish to establish an elevated country lifestyle in paradise; while at the same time there is that tempting approval for the construction of five new cabins for the smart investor. This estate has every reason to logically convert itself into a small much sought after.
