Set across 25 peaceful acres, 1408 Mount Cotton Road, Burbank, offers an exceptional acreage lifestyle surrounded by nature and complete privacy. Backing directly onto the SEQ Water reserve and the tranquil Leslie Harrison Dam, this property enjoys a rare blend of rural seclusion and scenic beauty, with the convenience of town water and easy access to Brisbane's CBD. The modern residence sits comfortably within its natural landscape, designed for family living and connection to the outdoors. Clean architectural lines, due north orientation and natural finishes complement large windows capturing sweeping views of bushland and open paddocks, creating a calm and airy atmosphere throughout. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area forms the heart of the home, featuring quality appliances, a walk-in pantry, and effortless flow to the timber decks and plunge pool. A separate media room and private home office add versatility, while the master suite includes an ensuite, walk-in robe, and deck access. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized and well positioned for family or guests. The property also includes a separate self-contained studio apartment, ideal for independent living, guest accommodation, or as a flexible sixth bedroom if desired. For those with horses, the property is purpose-built for equestrian living. Fully fenced and thoughtfully designed, it includes large open paddocks, three irrigated grass paddocks, smaller day yards, and a dedicated riding arena with facilities suitable for hosting community horse days or operating a home-based equine or similar business. The horse paddocks were designed by Jane and Stuart Myers, specialists in managing horses on small properties, ensuring optimal layout and sustainability. Quality natural horse facilities include a home paddock with an automated watering and feeding station, feed and tack storage, and wide open spaces for training or grazing — making this property ideal for horse owners seeking both functionality and freedom. Beyond the equestrian facilities, the property embraces a holistic and sustainable lifestyle. There is power and mains water to the eastern side of the property beside the four 25,000L water tanks, supporting both the paddocks and the orchard. A collection of irrigated food trees — including banana, mango, macadamia, finger lime, lemon, and black sapote — thrive here, complemented by an active beehive located near the trees and the weed pit, which naturally leaches nutrients into the surrounding soil. The initial Permaculture food forest was designed by educator Morag Gamble, ensuring a productive and regenerative system that blends seamlessly with the natural landscape. The land is beautifully balanced between cleared, usable space and native bushland, creating a constant connection to nature. Birdsong greets the sunrise, and wallabies graze quietly at sunset, while the adjoining SEQ Water reserve makes the setting feel vast and uninterrupted. Despite the serenity, the property remains highly convenient — just minutes from local schools, shops, and major arterials, and less than 25 minutes to Brisbane's CBD and airport — offering the very best of both worlds.
