Offered for sale for the very first time, this sprawling acreage oasis is perfect for those that require a genuine 'dual living' alternative in blissful serenity yet need to be ever-so close to suburbia. With panoramic views across the distant treetops, a huge shed with easy access for large vehicles and a wonderfully private entertainment area that includes a fabulous pergola, azure blue in-ground swimming and spa, this one offers plenty but best of all, won't break the budget for those that want all of this on a superb acreage allotment. Clear Mountain is still very much a secret for those that know little about it and here's a few facts that might surprise you… First of all, Clear Mountain (and especially Branch Creek Road) is a lot closer to the CBD than Samford Valley. It's also a lot closer to major shopping centres, trains, buses, arterial roads, a choice of quality schools, the Brisbane Airport – you name it! Secondly, it's far more select with only a few hundred homes in the entire suburb despite the fact that it is almost 11km2 in size. Clear Mountain is an area that's rich in history as (what was known as) the 'Branch Creek Primary School' opened its' doors way back in 1889 (but closed in 1913). Today, the area is known for its' fabulous views, abundant native wildlife, soaring breezes and leafy surroundings. That's enough of the history lesson – now let's check out the property… You'll arrive at Number 11 Branch Creek Road and be instantly impressed with the elevation and expansive layout that's evident before you even walk inside. The front veranda runs the full length of the home and is the ideal place to enjoy an early morning coffee as you listen to the local birdlife fill the valley with their soothing song. As you enter the abode, you're instantly greeted by the light-filled formal lounge and dining area that's highlighted by the ambient open fireplace – it's here that you can imagine yourself cuddling up with a glass of Shiraz of a cold Winter's night whilst you gaze into the flicker of the flame. Tucked neatly around the corner, you'll find the original but very neat kitchen that features a built-in pantry, a split system air-conditioner that services all of the living and dining areas of the main home, an exhaust fan, a double door fridge (that is included if the price is right), an oven, an electric cook top and best of all, a picturesque leafy aspect to the rear. If you head towards the parents' wing of the home, you'll discover the brilliantly designed parents' retreat that could be utilised as the perfect home office, a nursery, a 5th bedroom for the main home or perhaps a private place for you to relax in total peace and quiet. This parents' retreat provides direct access to the rear and boasts its' own rear pergola area – you'll see yourself sipping a cool glass of Sav Blanc whilst you watch the sun set slowly over the distant mountains. This home flows effortlessly through the bi-folding doors and into into the master bedroom that features a generous walk-in robe, a ceiling fan and an immaculate ensuite with shower, toilet and a 2-Pac vanity. Feel free to wander up to the children's wing of the residence and on your way, you'll discover the casual living and meals area that offers an ornate fan and gorgeous cross-flow breezes that remind you of just how good this position really is! At this end of the home, you'll find three bedrooms (two with built-in robes whilst the other provides a free-standing robe), one of these bedrooms features an air-conditioning unit and all of them have ceilings fans. Right nearby, you'll find the main bathroom that includes a shower, a heat lamp and a 2-Pac vanity as well as a handy linen and broom cupboard…and backing onto this bathroom is the spacious separate laundry and a separate toilet. Head out the back where you'll find the second pergola area that overlooks the crystal clear in-ground swimming pool and separate spa that's adorned with a gently cascading rock water feature…a very soothing sound in the background. If you wander down a little further from the pool, you'll find the beautiful breezeway that separates the home from the Granny flat. Speaking of the Granny flat, this is a brilliantly designed space that provides a fabulous air-conditioned living and dining area, a separate bedroom with a built-in robe and ensuite that features a shower, neat vanity, toilet and heat lamp and finally, a fully-functional kitchen with a built-in pantry, an electric stove and oven and a range hood – this is perfect for elderly parents, young couples looking to save a deposit for their own home or even a wonderful 'Airbnb' option where you can pay down your mortgage so much quicker! Backing on to this Granny flat, you'll find a single garage plus an area that used to be another garage but has now been converted into a fully insulated and air-conditioned separate office with built-in shelves and desk, cables and internet points. This area could easily be converted back into another garage space if this is your requirement. Finally, you'll meander down towards the large shed and be blown away with the space that includes accommodation for 2 cars plus a huge workshop area and an additional single carport. There's power and water, plenty of workbenches and shelves and even a 15,000 litre water tank – perfect for the tradie or even better for a sensational 'Man Cave'. There's quite a deal of lovely grassy space for the kids and pets to run around and play as well as a second dirt driveway that provides access to the rear of the property. Other notable features include town water, a garden shed on a concrete slab, a tiled roof with whirlybirds, security screen doors, a near new heat pump hot water system and hardwood framing throughout.
