Home and garden are intertwined into a magnificent Queenslander style country escape overlooking most of Mount Compass and views over the Nangkita Valley. Traditional decked verandahs front and rear grace the weatherboard cladding, elevated above the 4 car garage and massive workshop with 3 phase power below. Front of home is decorated in a profusion of purple wisteria, and a cluster of orange cliveas beneath the grand double staircase are only a hint of the splendour of the rear garden, a true horticultural masterpiece, set amongst a stand of ancient stringybarks.

OUTDOORS It would take a great poet to put into words the magnificence of the garden, Im not even going to try, Lets just say most of the currents owners friends have been shocked this treasure has never been entered in the Australian Open garden scheme. I feel confident if the new owner did enter, they would surely be an instant finalist in any garden competition.

The first strokes on the canvas were by nature, the ancient stringybarks, from there the work commenced to build a picturesque but low maintenance garden.
