This spectacular home with French chateau vibes has created such a stir that tyre-kickers from across southeast Queensland are trying to sneak in the door to steal design inspiration.
A surprise package just 10km north of Brisbane, the Kalinga home has been carefully curated with unparalleled craftsmanship and attention-to-detail.
“It’s just incredible,” said selling agent Beth Leach from Best Life Real Estate Agency – New Farm.
“It’s one of those houses where you go: ‘Can someone just pinch me?’”

Renovated in 2017, the original 1920s Queenslander sits amid an 810sqm landholding, which has become a private sanctuary adorned by the home and its supreme workmanship, with sandstone walls, classic verandas, vaulted ceilings, wainscoting panelling, and cornice details.
Spanning six bedrooms and six bathrooms, the home has a multitude of living options as well as an office and a library.

Sophisticated interior fixtures include Wyer and Craw cabinetry, wide plank herringbone oak flooring, Parisian light fittings, chandeliers and four beautiful fireplaces, while the master suite has a dressing room, walk-in-robe and an ensuite with floor-to-ceiling Calcutta marble.
“The quality of the fixtures and fittings in this house are just outstanding,” Ms Leach said.
“The pictures only tell so much of the story. There’s so much more to the property.
“The original owner who renovated it was an interior designer and they have put in the external ground floor of gorgeous sandstone that was quarried locally.
“That external wall extends into the interior and forms part of the hallway downstairs and gives character to the massive kitchen.”

Throughout the impressive dwelling, there are countless places to rest, entertain and spend time with loved ones.
“The family spaces – the sitting room, the formal lounge room, the dining rooms – it is just incredible. The butler’s pantry is the size of a room itself with a walk-in stainless steel cool room and freezer plus another fridge in the actual kitchen itself.
“It’s incredibly beautiful, it’s the most beautiful house I’ve ever been in.”

Ms Leach said the landmark property was only being offered for private inspection to qualified buyers.
“So many people are trying to get through the door so that they can gain inspiration for their renovations, but that’s just not possible,” she said.
“It’s an iconic local house, it’s a landmark house.”

Private hedging abuts the north-facing swimming pool and manicured gardens, while a quaint courtyard provides a welcoming retreat.
“There’s also room if you don’t want formal gardens, there’s space to turf and create a really great playground for a young family,” Ms Leach said.
“But you also have the added advantage of having Kedron Brook, which is one of the most famous green spaces in Brisbane, right at your doorstep, as well as Kalinga Park and the tennis courts, not to mention the bikeways and running tracks.”

The property is being marketed with a price guide of $5 million.
PropTrack data shows it last sold for $3 million in 2017.
