A custom-built, spacious bar – made of French Oak – which opens out onto a spacious deck is ideal for drinking in the views.
Also on the middle level is the children’s wing – featuring three bedrooms, each with individual balconies. One enjoys an ensuite, while the other two share a bathroom.
The lower level also homes a 10-seat, 3- tired French-inspired cinema, replete with a cocktail cabinet and games table area. Further, a custom-built Alpine stone bar and backs ono an enormous rumpus room with a full-sized lounge and pool table.
Also on the lower level is a bedroom which acts well as a guest room. Also here is another luxurious bathroom.
The lower level also grants access – via stacking doors – to the alfresco entertaining area complete with magnesium infinity pool, 8-seater spa and outside pool house with shower and toilet.
Located 25-minutes to Brisbane’s CBD and an hour’s drive to the Gold Coast, the grand residence enjoys the conveniences of Mount Ommaney without forgoing its relaxed lifestyle.

Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.
The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.
With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.
