76 Hersden Court, Bonogin, Qld 4213

When we first stood on this beautiful piece of land at 76 Hersden Court, we saw the vision for what would become our dream home - a private bush sanctuary where our family could grow, thrive, and enjoy the best of both nature and convenience. We built this home from the ground up with love, care, and a deep desire to create a peaceful eco-friendly retreat surrounded by rainforest, yet just minutes away from schools, shops, and everything we needed.

From the moment you drive through our grand electric gates and travel up the sweeping driveway, there's an undeniable sense of arrival. The native gardens, filled with colourful, low-maintenance flora, welcome you home in the most serene way.

We designed and built this home with our growing family in mind, ensuring there was space for everything - from quiet time and cosy movie nights, to entertaining loved ones in total privacy. One of our favourite places has always been the media room, where we've spent countless evenings curled up with the kids watching movies or hosting guests to watch sports - it genuinely feels like our very own cinema.

In the winter months, we've gathered friends around the fire pit, enjoying crisp air, warm conversations, and the simple joy of being outdoors. And when summer comes around, the sparkling magnesium pool and outdoor pizza oven became the heart of our home. The extended deck and seamless indoor-outdoor flow made it just as easy to host a large gathering, a family barbecue or simply relax with a quiet morning coffee taking everything in. 

This home has truly been our haven, and we've poured our hearts and souls into every corner. We've added some thoughtful extras to elevate everyday living and have made this home not just beautiful, but also wonderfully practical:

Some of the special additions we've made:

- A stunning inground magnesium pool - perfect for both entertaining and unwinding.
 - Abundant native landscaping  - lush, eco-friendly, and very low maintenance.
- Extended outdoor decking - creating more usable space for dining, lounging, and gatherings.
- Electric automatic front gate - adding both convenience and a touch of elegance 

Some hidden benefits we think you'll love just as much as we have:

- Zip tap with sparkling, still, and chilled filtered water on demand - refreshing and convenient for the health conscious
- Pyrolytic self-cleaning oven - effortless cleaning with just the touch of a button.
- Under-house storage - equivalent to a small - medium shed, ideal for tools, seasonal gear, or anything else that needs a home.
- Attic storage - perfect for keeping bulky or less-used items neatly tucked away
- Fully insulated walls and ceilings - offering year-round comfort and significantly reducing energy costs
- 32 solar panels on every angle of the house  not only lowering our electricity bills but helping us live more sustainably.
- Free electricity! - between 11am and 3pm conditional if you are an electric vehicle owner. We charge our electric vehicles and power our appliances at no cost thanks to the solar system. 
- Electric car charger - already installed and paired with solar, this makes the home future-proof for the eco-conscious buyer.
- A ready-to-go chicken coop - perfect for fresh eggs and an even more self-sufficient lifestyle.
- Low-maintenance native gardens and a small lawn - giving us more time to enjoy the outdoors and less time on upkeep
- Designed to capture the magical sunrise from the main bedroom - red and golden light filtering through the treetops is our daily reminder of nature's beauty.

This home has given us so many special experiences and unforgettable moments. From everyday dinners to milestone events, it has always provided the perfect setting. Our amazing alfresco area made it easy to gather for family meals - whether it was a sunny Sunday lunch or a cosy winter evening under the stars. Our media room quickly became the heart of the home for everything from major sporting events to movie marathons and kids' sleepovers. 

Some of our most treasured memories were made right here. One of the most special was my 50th birthday celebration - we hosted 50 guests with live music on the open deck, torches lighting the driveway, and even a golf buggy ferrying friends up and down the driveway. The party flowed effortlessly from the main living space out onto the fairy-lit deck under the stars, and it truly felt magical!  So much so that many of our friends have asked if they can have their future parties at our house! 

We celebrated our child's 18th birthday here too, surrounded by friends and family in a setting that felt warm, joyful, and completely our own. And one unforgettable Christmas, we had five family members visiting from overseas. Even with a full house, everyone had space, privacy, and comfort - it never felt crowded, only full of life and love.

More than anything, this home has given us the gift of togetherness - a sanctuary where joy, celebration, and connection have been part of everyday life. If we could take just one thing with us, it would be the divine elements of nature - the warming visits from baby wallabies, the chorus of colourful birds, the privacy and serenity that wrap around you the moment you arrive. 

As we prepare to embrace our new sea change, we do so with full hearts and deep appreciation for what this home has given us. We hope it brings the next owners just as much joy, peace, and magic as it has brought to our lives.

Warmest regards,
The Current Owners
