654 Fig Tree Pocket Road, Fig Tree Pocket, QLD 4069

Having graced the pages of Queensland Homes Magazine when first built, this sprawling 5-bedroom-plus-study one-level home draws on design influences from Europe and the Far East to create a rich sense of luxury.

Set well back from the street on an elevated flood-free land parcel, the ultra-private property boasts a striking facade and treetop vistas over adjacent council greenspace. Families seeking a prestigious Fig Tree Pocket lifestyle will love the convenience of this address just a short walk to bus stops, premier FTP schools, riverfront parkland and the beloved Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.

Inspired by their global travel experiences, the current owners enlisted local architects and artisans to bring their vision to life. Carefully sourcing and curating fine pieces from Australia and abroad, the home's ambiance is one of opulence and authenticity.

Grand doorways framed with rich recycled timber sleepers and cigar posts; lofty ceilings and voids of up to 4 metres high; and cascading Italian Murano glass chandeliers will immediately captivate upon entry.

Yet the family-friendly floorplan and array of modern inclusions promise exceptional liveability.

Spanning a vast single U-shaped level, the home has been cleverly zoned for privacy and separation whilst maintaining superb flow and natural light. All three spacious communal living areas open out the central alfresco "piazza" encompassing a sun-drenched terrace, glass-framed swimming pool and an all-weather courtyard inspired by Dolce and Gabbana's Sicilian villa.

Meanwhile, a wing on the opposite side of the home hosts 5 bedrooms, including the lavish master with hotel-inspired spa ensuite, walk-in dressing room and direct access to the outdoor poolside spaces.

Two further rooms (one with separate home entry) feature integrated desks and storage, making them ideal for use as a private home office, professional studio, media/activity room, or guest accommodation.

Two gorgeous bathrooms are accompanied by a large guest powder room, which is ideally positioned for the easy creation of a full third bathroom and/or further ensuited bedroom.

Energy efficiency has also been fundamental in the property's overall design. Complete with an incredible near-new 22kw solar system (64 panels using 3-phase power), buyers will enjoy very low power bills plus a negligible environmental footprint. The double remote garage features an integrated "Zappi" Electric Vehicle charger utilising solar power, while the large-capacity rainwater tanks with a pump service the entire grounds (from watering the rear lawns and veggie gardens to car washing in the driveway!)

This commitment to ecologically-sound living extends to ensuring the perfect interior climate year-round. The home is equipped with both individual split system air-conditioning units throughout, and a powerful zoned ducted system for back-up during extra hot weather- both meticulously maintained. Ceiling fans also encourage fresh air-flow and cross-ventilation.

Also expect state-of-the-art home security, with a pet-friendly alarm system, smart-device controlled CCTV cameras, sensor lights, and intercom entry.

Additional property highlights include the galley kitchen boasting a full butler's pantry with space for a 2nd/large wine fridge, 800mm granite benchtops, a new high-end Italian-made 900mm oven/6 burner gas cooktop, and Miele dishwasher. Also featuring are rich hardwood floors; a brand-new hot water system; and endless storage (from linen cupboards and a huge easy-access attic space, to the two waterproof garden sheds). The family-sized laundry opens directly to a private outdoor drying court with both covered and sunlit areas.

Reminiscent of the whitewashed island buildings on Santorini's hillside, this home is a truly unique offering. Its sprawling 22-metre frontage is landscaped with low-maintenance sandstone blocks and Madagascar Palms, while the spiralling entryway is adorned with antique timber doors and Moroccan pendants for showstopping kerb appeal.

Just 9km from the CBD, this exclusive address is just metres from city-bound bus stops and bikeways and less than 5 minutes onto the Centenary Highway/M5 for connection with Greater Brisbane, the CBD, Airport and Coast. Enjoy exceptional proximity to a choice of retail, dining and entertainment precincts including Kenmore Village, Jindalee's DFO and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. Families can take their pick of exceptional nearby schools including Fig Tree Pocket State School, St Peters Lutheran College, Mancel College, Brisbane Montessori School and the internationally renowned Ambrose Treacy College. Plus, the area's unique outdoor lifestyle includes access in moments to the Rocks Riverside Park's riverwalks, Fig Tree Pocket Boat Ramp and Equestrian Centre.

The epitome of international designer style, this home will appeal to both buyers seeking one-of-kind luxury, and those keen to add personal flair to the property's unrivalled space, layout, and location.
