240 Tinarra Crescent Kenmore Hills, QLD 4069

Resting across one hectare of picturesque land in the foothills of Mt Coot-tha, this secluded estate represents one of Brisbane's most tightly held and irreplaceable lifestyle offerings. Almost 30 years in the making, it brings together location, scale and landscape in a way that is increasingly difficult to find, creating a place where grandeur exists alongside nature, and each day is shaped by sunlight, breezes and the subtle change of the seasons.

Beyond the gates, the romance of a French Provencial estate unfolds. Classical stone urns, sculpted topiary, formal hedging and climbing greenery introduce magnificent parterre gardens and French allees. Beyond the crushed-limestone paths, the landscape softens into rolling lawns, fragrant blooms, secret gardens, and private botanical retreats overlooking the forested backdrop, as wallabies emerge and birds move through the canopy.

Entered through a garden courtyard accompanied by the soothing sound of water features, the residence reveals itself with grace. A soaring 6-metre void draws the gaze upwards across interiors grounded by herringbone floors. Grand yet intimately connected to its surroundings, the layout encourages a natural progression from one space to the next, with morning light filtering into quiet sitting rooms, doors opening to capture the breeze and family life flowing through a series of living and dining areas framed by greenery.

The house becomes a backdrop to days lived beautifully. Begin with coffee on the balcony as the gardens awaken, retreat indoors to work from the dedicated office, then gather in the entertainer's kitchen with St George and Miele appliances. Evenings begin with drinks around the billiards room's wet bar before moving to the screened barbecue terrace, where conversation continues against the gentle movement and sounds of the landscape.

Across the grounds, every season and hour offers a different way to live. Doors open to courtyards, terraces and balconies for quiet reflection, open-air dining and celebrations beneath the stars. Afternoons can be spent playing on the north-south tennis court, swimming in the pool or wandering through gardens that invite discovery at every turn.

Five ensuited bedrooms provide exceptional retreat, complemented by a spacious study or sixth bedroom and a self-contained ground-floor wing giving grandparents, guests or an au pair their own domain. The primary suite opens to a balcony gazing over the poolside gardens and forested foothills, forming a serene space to greet the morning.

Embedded within the natural beauty of the Mt Coot-tha foothills, this prestigious address places scenic trails close by, shopping precincts, including Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, minutes away and premier schools within easy reach, all within an estate where the landscape is not simply admired - it becomes part of the way you live.
