Perched high on an incredible 5 acre allotment, this truly breath-taking property offers more twists and turns than a good Alfred Hitchcock novel! With an incredible amount number of dwellings, sheds and buildings that serve a myriad of different purposes (and can be customised to suit your requirements), you’ll need plenty of time when you inspect just to take it all in! To find this fabulous property, you’ll head through the heart of Samford Village along Main Street and keep following the road until it becomes Mount Samson Road. You’ll then drive a little further until you pass the turn at Cedar Creek Road and the very next on the left is Old Mount Samson Road. Travel up the hill before you arrive at Number 252 where the first thing you’ll notice is the new white fencing and two separate driveway entrances…each with 3.8 metre front electric gates (large enough for you to reverse in if need be). If you head to the upper gate, you’ll drive down the smooth bitumen driveway and without a word of a lie, you simply won’t know where to go first… Once you’ve taken in some of the superb landscaping, you decide to begin at the main residence where you’ll head through the double carport, open the front door and head inside… As you wander past the shoe cupboard, you’ll follow the hallway and on your right, you’ll discover the huge master bedroom that’s nicely finished with chic Plantation shutters, a ceiling fan, a huge mirrored built-in robe and a delightful ensuite that offers a double shower, a neat vanity with 2-Pac cabinetry, a toilet and a heat lamp. Continue a little further into the abode before you’ll meander to your left and immediately find another two over-sized bedrooms that each provide more gorgeous Plantation shutters, a built-in robe and a ceiling fan. Right nearby, the beautifully renovated main bathroom offers a skylight, a semi-open double shower with a shelving niche and a monsoon rose, lovely floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles, a neat 2-pac vanity and a separate toilet. Adjacent to this space, you’ll also find a large separate laundry with a built-in cupboard, a new tub and direct access to the outside. As you wander into the huge open plan lounge and dining room, you’ll begin to gain a sense of the enviable lifestyle that this spectacular property exudes. There’s a fan-forced combustion heater as well as a split system air-conditioner and most importantly huge glass sliders that open to the outdoors. But before we head out there, let’s meander around the corner where you’ll discover the classic upmarket kitchen that features beautiful New Guinea rosewood cabinetry, lavish 40mm dark granite bench tops, a lovely tiled splash back, a step-in pantry with fabulous glass doors, room for a double door fridge and finally, a fine selection of quality stainless steel appliances that include a brand new 5-burner gas cook top, an oven, a dishwasher and a canopy-style rangehood – a remarkable kitchen in anyone’s language! Other notable features of this main residence include new ceiling fans, LED downlights with dimmers, new carpet and new fly screens. As you head outside into the expansive rear pergola, you’ll begin to gain a sense of how amazing these panoramic views really are…there’s jaw-dropping 180 degree views of the distant mountain tops and incredible scenery. The centrepiece of this outdoor pergola is the solid sandstone outdoor table and chair setting – this is just as much a work of art as it is a practical outdoor setting. This pergola wraps around the home to the side and right near it, there’s a fabulous open grassy area that’s the perfect place for kids and pets to run freely. And now, you’re about to be truly blown away! Just below the home on a lower tier, there is the most incredible in-ground swimming pool that you’re ever likely to see! We’ve seen many swimming pools described as “resort-style” but nothing compares to this masterpiece! Flowing into an overflow pool and with a separate grotto, a cascading rock water feature, an elephant water feature and a myriad of artwork that decorates the area, this is honestly like something out of a movie. Apart from the self-cleaning feature, the pool also offers serrated ‘tree stump’ seats that sit at the edge of the sensational swim-up bar (yes that’s right!) and if you look behind you, there’s a ‘glass wall’ water feature that drops right behind you from the roof of the swim-up bar area. Behind the bar, there’s power, a plumbed sink, a commercial fridge and a separate toilet so this area is not purely here for decoration – it’s every bit the poolside drinking area that will blow everyone away! As is the case with much of this area, the bar and retaining are all pure sandstone – imagine the replacement cost of this area today? But we’re still not finished – there’s also a separate gas heated spa with its’ own grotto if you’d prefer to laze around and soak up the soothing warm water under the stars with a wine! To obtain a sense of how much has gone into this pool area, we dare you to have a look at the filtration system in the area underneath the pool – you won’t have seen anything like it before! On the other side of the pool, there’s a huge Bali hut with a timber deck…again, yet another place to relax by the pool as you take in the never-ending views! If you think that this is the end of the tour, you need to know that we’re barely getting started… Head down the driveway a little further and you’ll arrive at one of the best ‘Man Caves’ that you’re ever likely to see… This 10 x 8 metre bricked garage includes a John Wilson slate pool table, a cedar bar area with an incredible deck at the rear and there’s even an external toilet and basin – even the original sign is from the old Cedar Creek sawmill whilst the bar is made from Burmese teak that’s come out of a monastery. You wouldn’t have thought that you needed another place to have a beer whilst taking in the vista but it’s fair to say that this might be one of the best areas to do so! Just behind the ‘Man Cave’ there’s a brilliantly designed steel car ramp where you can park your vehicle easily whilst you work on it from underneath. Right nearby, there’s also a fantastic firepit area with custom sandstone seating (what else would it be made of?) If you follow the driveway down even further, the journey still has a long way to go… You’ll then arrive at yet another separate structure where you’ll find a separate remote triple garage…but that’s only the beginning of this structure! There’s also a single carport but better yet…a separate fully-lined studio with a beautiful vaulted ceiling and vinyl flooring – perhaps this could be a hobby room or maybe you could make a mild conversion and turn it into the perfect ‘AirBNB’ option. If you wander around to the rear, you’ll see that the driveway dips a little further where you’ll find another triple garage below (but this area could house as many as 5 cars). The lower part of this garage offers huge 2.7 metre ceilings (so the height of your car won’t be an issue) with a driveway that runs all the way around it. It’s also made of Besser blocks so it’s cool and best of all, it doesn’t leak…and there’s 3-phase power and another 5 KW solar system to this building as well! The structure is supported by a concrete slab that separates the levels, there’s security screens of the windows and there’s even an option to extend the building with a balcony…not that you need another outdoor area as there’s a plethora of those already on this property! Beyond here, the block gently descends with green rolling hills and open grassy areas right into the monstrous dam (that’s very deep) and provides a 3-phase pump. You’ll also find plenty of fruit trees including mango, avocado, banana, oranges, macadamia, grapefruit and mandarin…amongst others! There’s also a 32,000 water tank that can be utilised to pump water back to the main residence on the rare occasion that this might be required. Right down the bottom of the block, there’ even room (and enough flattish usable ground) to create a horse paddock. By the way, the owner is prepared to leave a golf buggy with the home as part of the sale given it’s hard to walk to everywhere if this is the property for you. Let’s wander back up to you the top and we’re still not even close to the finish line… There’s a fantastic kids’ steel-framed cubby house with power and its’ own small front deck – how cool is that? Back up near the main residence, there’s a gigantic shed that’s been brilliantly customised to include a separate air-conditioned hair salon/ beauty clinic with two sinks, granite counter-tops and a mirrored built-in robe. This shed includes another lined room that is currently utilised as a separate office (5 x 5 metres in size) with a split-system air-conditioner, polished floors, a wall-mounted whiteboard, an insulated roof and a small front verandah. On the back end of this shed, this area has been converted into a double garage with a car hoist that will remain with the property, a mezzanine storage level and yet another massive carport that protrudes from the front with enough space that could very easily accommodate another 6 cars. Additionally, there’s a fully approved shipping container with power and yet another carport attached to the front and a second shipping container that also offers power and flood lights. Other notable features of this property include 180,000 litres of underground water storage with a portion of this supply gravity-fed to the pool, a 7 KGA Honda generator that powers everything, a thorough security camera system with 16 cameras, a 15 KW solar system with 63 panels as well as a 19 KW battery, a Bio-cycle system, plenty of solar lights, plenty of mature palms as well as a stunning Moreton Bay fig tree, an electronic dog fence that runs around the entire 5 acres and around the dam and finally, an abundance of wildlife that includes wallabies, koalas, ducks that breed here and a huge variety of birdlife. There’s even room to install a horse arena on the lower part of the block if this is your inclination. Despite the lengthy description above, there’s probably some things we’ve missed, such is the extent of what’s on offer here! You’re rarely find a property with so much and if you somehow do, it surely won’t be in a position like this – Be Quick before another astute buyer beats you to it!
