Discover new-found freedom and a new way of living that takes you so much closer to nature when you live on this superb 2 acre property tucked away near the end of a no-through street in a quiet backwater on Mount Tamborine. if you check out the Google Map here & also other maps, you will notice that Benowa Street is marked as a through road. However it is a surveyed and gazetted road that comes to an end just after the next adjoining property. Like so many roads here in Queensland, it was marked out in a Lands Department office probably over a century ago with no regard or knowledge of the actual terrain. In this case, nobody apparently knew that the area between where the road currently ends and Wilson Road was a natural spring-fed lake that never dries up and is the headwaters of Guanaba Creek. The cost of putting this few hundred metre of road through would be astronomical as it would require bridging the whole distance. So I think we can all safely say that Benowa Street will forever be a no-through road. Also please note that the house had not been built when that satellite image was taken.

With that out of the way, let us turn to this magnificent approximately 53 square Gympie Stone home set well back on its long 2 acres behind a picture perfect orchard of avocado trees and other fruit trees. The front gate open to a good driveway that leads down to the home that hides behind the orchard. The home has been designed to make the most of the north-easterly aspect by having living, kitchen and verandahs as well as the master bedroom all looking out over the rear of the land and down onto the solid rock outcropping that creates the bed of the creek which can clearly be seen when you look at the satellite image of the Google Map. Gentle landscaping has turned the creek area into an exciting feature which can be enhanced or left as it is now.

The home has been uniformly tiled throughout in a high quality neutral toned tile. It also features 9 foot tall ceilings, ornate cornices and subtle interior decor as well as excellent use of glass, particularly in the huge kitchen and vast family living. There simply is not a small room in the entire house. The formal living dwarfs a period style 8 seater dining suite and the informal living is almost as large. The kitchen is quite incredible as it is fitted into a huge bow-wall of windows that looks out onto lush vegetation and down to the creek. As well as being forever light, it also features a very large double fridge and freezer space as well as well outfitted walk-in pantry and an island cooking centre with Miele stainless steel rangehood. Bathrooms and powder rooms are gorgeous and there is a full walk-in linen room and a large modern laundry.

The grounds are equally impressive, but not overdone. The property is fully fenced and gated with a securely fenced inner child / dog yard that will keep those loved small people away from the creek in safety. The area around the home has been simply and attractively landscaped with flowering shrubs, walkways and bedding plants. However, a ride-on mower will do most of the work needed on this well ordered property. And, we are sorry but the ancient Fordson tractor is just an ornament these days!
