Ansvale Park stretches along the eastern side of a beautiful ridge bordering Pullenvale. The property's homestead opens to summer breezes, level lawns, an alfresco entertainment area, and paddocks with open pasture. Here is a country life with all the advantages of the city. This tranquil, country life is within the much sought-after Dolman Road cul-de-sac, renowned for its welcoming, rural spirit. Children ride their bikes together in the quiet enclave and to Pullenvale State School. Inter-family backyard cricket and football games are played. Pullenvale Hall is the hub of social activities. Enter the lovely cul-de-sac, drive through Ansvale Park's entrance gates, and instantly feel uplifted. The Queenslander homestead in the pretty Art Nouveau style has verandahs on three sides and is flanked by a tiny cottage. The homestead's renovation has honoured the iconic architectural style, keeping the classic layout that maximises cross-ventilation, the original French doors, sash windows, VJ walls, and polished timber floors. The homestead and cottage are set amidst established trees, gardens, and fully fenced paddocks with livestock infrastructure reflecting the time invested in creating a country life. A track. adorned by a trellis entrance, runs through the centre of the property creating easy access to all seven paddocks. Within the paddocks are a two-bay horse stall, a livestock stall, water troughs, feed troughs, an extensive vegetable garden, and a chicken house with an outdoor run. The new steel shed in the American barn style is large enough for six vehicles. There is a double garage as well as a carport with an extra high roof for farm vehicles and horse trailers. Rainwater tanks hold 15,000 litres. Ansvale Park is home to well handled, quiet animals, which you have the option to keep. There are two Belted Galloway cows, a calf, a Scottish Highland bull called George, two Dorper sheep, and 20 chickens that lay plenty of eggs. When it's time to come inside, step onto the homestead's front verandah and through the front door crowned with an Art Nouveau leadlight glass motif. Walk down the hallway to the east facing country kitchen, which features timber benchtops and windows that bring in the morning sun. A wide Falcon oven with a six-burner gas cooktop is the centrepiece within the kitchen's ample preparation and storage spaces. The kitchen opens to the lounge-dining room as well as the dining space on the eastern verandah. The original arch spanning the width of the lounge-dining room is an example of the original features that instil the home with charm. The king-size master bedroom has a built-in wardrobe the length of one wall. Sunlight filters in through pink and green coloured glass in the large, central window. The second bedroom, also king-size with a built-in wardrobe, opens to the front verandah and side verandah through two sets of French doors. The third king-size bedroom looks out to the garden through a sash window. The room's solid timber wardrobe is the same era as the homestead. The bathroom is the clever three-way design, ideal for a family. You can see the flowering plumbago through the bathroom's sash window. Downstairs, a separate, self-contained living space with its own entrance has a lounge-dining area, a kitchen, and a king-size bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, an ensuite, and French doors that open to the eastern patio. A few steps to the south of the homestead is the two room cottage, which has a potential to be a studio, a home office or a bedroom with an ensuite. Across the homestead's lawn is the alfresco entertainment area that seats up to 26 guests and has standing room for many more. Tables, chairs, and an outdoor lounge under a pergola strung with fairy lights create an inviting space with the farm as the backdrop. A firepit area is established between the alfresco area and the lawn. Many celebrations have been held in this idyllic rural setting. Ansvale Park's beautiful, mature trees attract local birds including king parrots, rosellas, kookaburras, cockatoos and peewees. Walk through the gardens and paddocks to the sound of birdsong and kookaburras' laughter. The property's prime position allows children to easily ride their ponies to Moggill Pony Club within a couple of minutes.
