Check out this designer house on several acres mere minutes from Queanbeyan

When a couple relocating from Burra bought a bush block in Greenleigh, NSW, some 30 years ago, they intended to build a home for their small family in an area much closer to the amenities of town.

Following a long collaboration with designer Robert Warren jnr, whose previous work included the Queanbeyan Leagues Club (visible from the house), the project soon grew larger than life.

Now, as the family moves onto their next chapter, the new owners may be glad it did, for they will become the custodians of a wonderfully unique dwelling.

Greg Ward of Ward Real Estates says the home is a rare opportunity to secure a quality property in a highly sought-after enclave.

“Offering an immense level of comfort, enviable proportions and contemporary appointments, relaxed living and entertaining will become a way of life here,” he says.

Anchored to a naturally sloping 1.22-hectare site, the spacious double-brick home is suspended on two large pillars with its form enlivened by a huge umbrella roof.

Verandahs on three sides allow for tranquil outdoor living among the treetops.

The floor plan unfolds over three levels in a format that speaks to multigenerational living.

In the middle, the hub of the home contains the kitchen, lounge and family room. Large, black-framed windows and sliding doors open up the views and allow natural light to stream inside.

A double-sided fireplace separates the main living and dining areas, while a separate bedroom and bathroom provide flexibility.

A large void gives a sense of volume and space. Overhead, a landing connects a main bedroom, an updated bathroom and two studies – perfect for a parents’ retreat.

The lowest level is another type of retreat, perhaps this time for teenagers or guests, thanks to a rumpus room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Modern updates to the kitchen elevate the interiors with Quantum Quartz benchtops, and premium fixtures and appliances.

A low-maintenance garden of established trees, flowers and shrubs is maintained by drip-fed irrigation.

Ward says the home is “one of the best” in Greenleigh and basks in a flawless connection to its bushland surrounds.

“Private and secluded, yet remarkably convenient – just three kilometres to the Queanbeyan CBD,” he adds.
