Spectacular tri-level home where every detail has been considered

A one-off, meticulously designed architectural marvel in semi-rural Brisbane has hit the market, offering buyers the chance to own a landmark sanctuary.

The tri-level, four bedroom, four bathroom home at 36 Mary Ring Drive, Samford Village took three years to complete.

Sales agent Andrea Brown from Harcourts Local – Clayfield said every square inch of the property had been custom-designed.

“You will not find any other house in the world like that – there is nothing to compare it,” she said.

Vendors Tom and Janine Meakin have thoroughly enjoyed living in the home but with their children grown up, they are ready for a new challenge.

“It’s a very unique combination of building materials,” Mr Meakin said.

“The panelling inside is all Blackwood, and it’s probably the only house in Brisbane that has polished plaster.

“All the windows and doors and everything were handmade.”

The home, which won a Queensland House of the Year accolade in 2008, is set on a 608sqm landholding, and its eye-catching façade is a mix of rendered concrete with seasoned Ironbark timber.

Marble finishes, reinforced concrete, core-filled blockwork, and a steel-timber roof structure, as well as zinc roof sheeting, are among the high level of details and finishes used in the construction.

Surrounded by stunning landscaping, the show stopping outdoor living space includes an entertainer’s pavilion featuring a Teppanyaki bar, wood fired pizza oven, gas cooktop and oven.

There is also a heated swimming pool with frameless glass fencing.

The home’s long list of highlights also includes an internal lift, and a fully-equipped basement that is home to an array of storage, a poolside bathroom and a plant room includes a reticulated air-conditioning system and hot water systems, lift power pack, pumps, and solar inverters.

These are all accessible via a hatch in the above garage with a half-tonne monorail hoist.

Other features include three-phase power, an in-ground bore and a 45,000 litre underground rainwater tank.

Ms Brown said in the week and a bit the home has been on the market, there has been strong buyer interest.

“We’ve had different demographics, older people, a couple of locals, and then we’ve had some international interest as well, and from a couple that have moved over here for the schools,” she said.

“There are younger families that are looking to go out there for just that country feel because it’s sunny, and literally 35 minutes to the city.

“You’ve got bikeways, paths, bike tracks right into the city.”
