CUBBERLA Homestead is a 3.2 hectare (8 acre) property located in the coveted Fig Tree Pocket enclave, perched on a tributary of the Brisbane River.
Just 8km from the Brisbane CBD, Cubberla represents an unrivalled opportunity. The owners, Andrew and Georgina Woods along with their family are moving to the UK in the coming months, for business opportunities and an overseas family adventure.
When asked what had originally attracted the family to the property, Georgina said she felt it was “home defined”.
“It has a soulful feel, offering spaces for everyone,” Georgina said. “Its layout and design works so perfectly for young families, families with teens and extended families with the granny flat and cottage.
“The new architecture gives a modern twist, but is still sympathetically designed to fit in with the original home. The large windows and bi-folds and it’s positioning on the hill maximises the river breezes and means that the view from every window is picture postcard perfect.”
The grand homestead offers a true feeling of country living in the city. Set on one level, the 1001 square metre home was designed by renowned architects Cook and Kerrison.
The spacious and luxury feel is enhanced by multiple entertaining and living spaces, focused around a central entertaining hub at the centre of the home that truly maximises the family-oriented atmosphere.
The house is comprised of four separate wings, easily discernible from an aerial view. A parents wing, children’s wing, guest wing and staff wing (now a two bedroom self-contained granny flat) radiate from the central hub of the property.
The relaxed architecture blends seamlessly with the rolling green hills of the property and the large windows and louvres throughout maximise views over the tranquil setting while flooding the home with light and natural airflow.
Polished hardwood floorboards, high ceilings, and clever lighting enhance the livability, while expansive bi-fold doors throughout maximise indoor/outdoor living, providing easy access to the pavilion style, outdoor entertaining area, ample seating and never to be built out views through the hanging grapevines over the rolling paddocks.
A three bay garage with separate workshop, private 10m pool and floodlit tennis court finish the home - positioning it as the perfect home for a large or extended family, and one that can entertain all year round.
The original staff wing was converted into a self-contained, two bedroom granny flat. With a kitchen, bathroom, living area and built-ins in both bedrooms, as well as it’s own private access, this space adds another level of versatility to the home.
Away from the house, Cubberla Cottage with its kitchenette and bathroom sits overlooking the paddocks.
The acreage is fully fenced, with electric fencing around the creek perimeter and white three rail fencing, the infrastructure lends itself to the horse enthusiast. A sand arena is supported by four stables, day yards, a wash bay, tack rooms and feed/float shed.
A vegetable garden, milking bails and chook pen are currently positioned behind the stables.
Cubberla Homestead will be auctioned by Ray White Rural on in Brisbane on August 18.
Open homes are from 1pm-2pm on Saturdays and from 4pm-5pm on select Sunday evenings.
