190 Swensons Road, Mount Crosby, Qld 4306

This amazing five acre property has had the same ownership for over 40 years and the care put into creating this estate is more than apparent. From the moment you enter the tree-lined, circular driveway it is obvious that this is no ordinary landholding. Set on gently sloping land the home is more than 150 metres from the front boundary to ensure a high level of peace and privacy. 

Every window of this double level brick home has an incredible rural view. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two bathrooms while downstairs the generous study could easily be used as a fourth bedroom. The main bedroom adjoins an ensuite and sizeable walk-in-robe. The family bathroom has been beautifully renovated in recent years. The upstairs bedrooms are carpeted with built-ins and timber shutters on all windows.

The featured timber floors in the home are Australian Jarrah hardwood. Not only is this timber now rare, it is extremely hardwearing, easy to maintain and very attractive. Cost would make its use prohibitive today but it does illustrate how much care, thought and expense went into the construction of this fine home.

There are multiple living areas and many outstanding features including nine foot ceilings. The family room might also be described as a conservatory due to the floor to ceiling glass on three sides which capture the spectacular views of the nearby mountain range. The formal lounge/dining features a large working fireplace, a bay window at one end while the other end opens to the fully enclosed sunroom via stylish French Doors.

The large kitchen is centrally located between both the formal dining and casual meals area. It also boasts a generous servery to the sunroom which runs along the rear of the home.

The remote opening double garage provides entry to the home via the laundry. The third bathroom is conveniently located off the laundry. A purpose-built art studio sits discreetly adjacent to the home but could be repurposed as a hobby room or perhaps a home office. 

Elsewhere on the property are two sheds which are ideal storage for garden supplies/implements etc. The property has very good soil and there are fruit trees including Persimmons, Oranges and Bananas already flourishing. The landscaping of this acreage is excellent and the gardens very mature, however the wide open spaces between the towering gum trees does allow for plenty of future uses. There is also the potential to subdivide here (subject to Council approval) or alternatively it could be converted for use as a horse property with a picturesque dam near the rear of the property. 22,000 litres of rainwater storage is also onsite although the home is connected to town water.

Mount Crosby offers great walking trails, a huge variety of birdlife as well as native animals. Buses to a number of western suburbs schools and colleges pass the home. The Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts as well as western areas including Toowoomba. The Brisbane CBD is approximately 30 minutes away and Ipswich's CBD is even closer. For more information or to arrange a private inspection contact Ian Keenan at any time.
