"Eureka" on the Albert River Tamborine in TAMBORINE, Queensland for sale
IT?S NOT ON THE MOUNTAIN! It?s in the beautiful Tamborine Valley on the river. A cavity brick home with brick interior and steel roof built around an internal atrium with a gold fish water feature.
1.78 ha of lush pastures and garden on the Albert River with permanent water and solar panels. Next door there is a 40 acre council park that can never be built on and is leased to horse owners.
Colonial style solid timber kitchen with 9 meters of porcelain benches, a new oven, induction cooktops and 14 power points for easy access to all appliances. Mood lighting gives ambience to this unusual versatile kitchen with a bar that extends to the living areas.
The Great Room consists of lounge, dining, TV and games areas that can be altered to suit owners tastes. The bathrooms are in Roman style with vessels for vanity and an old fashioned deep bath tub.
There are verandas off almost every room and the blue room overlooks the stunning atrium. Slate floors throughout and beautifully tiled bathrooms.
Clad in an Australian Tudor Style is a large garage built onto the house and big enough to park a Winnebago, motor-bike and car with lots of bench space and shelves for all your tools. Lazerlight panels light up the garage and a loft over which is now being used as a studio and sewing room.
All bedrooms have built-ins and the ceilings have to be seen to be believed. The gym is adjacent to the atrium and there is a sauna on the main bedroom's veranda. A breezeway runs through the middle of the house from the back through the atrium and to the front veranda.
The massive entertainment areas combine a BBQ area with a large chess set on a paved patio which extends the full length of the house off the veranda and leads to a Cedar gazebo at one end which overlooks the Albert River with unrestricted views.
Adjacent are other areas of reflection such as a rotunda and meditation areas overlooking abundant fruit trees in season.
Other out buildings include a 24ft Viscount caravan under cover adjacent to a hobby workshop. There are tractor and horse shelters near a 6X3 metre garden shed.
The owner is conscious of energy costs and has used a heat pump for hot water, gravity fed water to the sink and toilet to save on pump power and 8 solar panels which more than halve the power bills. Cool in the summer and a large Pittsburgh pot belly stove heats the brick interior in the winter making this a very energy efficient home.
The yard comes with a Cadet Cub ride on and a Honda fire fighter to pump up water for the toilet and garden into a header tank and the 3,000 gal concrete tank under the gazebo. The house tank is 5,000 gallons and overflows into the other tanks giving a total of 10,000 gallons. A water truck has never entered this property.
This is not an ordinary house and would appeal to someone looking for something totally different with lots of character and romance in a beautiful bush setting. A gardener's paradise with sandy black soil and leafy bushland areas.
