496 Bunya Road, North Arm

This substantial architect-designed home offers panoramic country vistas and absolute privacy just five minutes from Eumundi and 20 from Noosa.

Comprising five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two huge living zones, a study and entertaining decks on two levels, there's space to comfortably accommodate the extended family.

Approached along a winding 300m driveway, the property boasts expansive lawns and adventure bike trails within a natural playground of more than 15 acres. The 11.5m saltwater pool, meanwhile, is perfect for length swimming or a relaxing dip.

There's an opportunity to really put your own stamp on 496 Bunya Road, with scope for dual living or a home business set-up within the generous 506m2 internal footprint. And did we mention there's a separate studio currently used as a gym, plus a four-bay shed with parking for caravans and boats?

Entering through the oversized front doors, the unique character of this property is apparent in the high ceilings and crafted timber staircase.

The main living room features wide tallowwood floorboards and pitched cathedral ceilings, a built-in fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening on three sides to extensive decks. As entertaining spaces go, it doesn't get much better.

There is a lovely inside-outside flow to this property. The contemporary kitchen, with its 2Pac cabinetry, black granite countertops and European appliances, has a large servery window leading out to the BBQ deck - the ideal place to gather with friends overlooking the pool and surrounding landscape.

Screened louvres, ceiling fans and sliding doors allow the coastal breezes to circulate throughout. A 5kW solar power system ensures power costs are low, while 61,000L of filtered tank water means you will never run dry.

The roomy first floor master suite includes a walk-in robe, ensuite and glass bifold doors providing gorgeous vistas across the surrounding landscape.

Also on this level is a second king-sized bedroom leading out to the rear deck and lawned garden beyond, plus a quality family bathroom and a study with built-in desk and external access.

Downstairs is another sizeable living area with its own access from the shaded lower deck. Need a pool room, kids' wing, granny flat or yoga studio? This property allows for ultimate flexibility of use.

Three more king-sized bedrooms feature, all with sliding glass doors, and there's a well-equipped laundry and a third modern bathroom, too.

Outside, the studio is currently a gym but creates more options for work/living space separate from the main house. The high-roofed four-bay shed and a large carport adjoining the house provide ample parking for numerous vehicles.

The landscape of this exceptional property encompasses rainforest pockets, eucalypt stands, fern gullies, natural rock walls and two dams (one spring fed with garden water supply).

Located close to the coast's best restaurants, beaches and schools, it's the ultimate rural escape - just 20 minutes from Hastings Street.
