This classic Queenslander is a living piece of history, offering approximately 8,106sqm adjacent to Kurwongbah Lake, north of Brisbane.

Named Taringa, the home has a rich history. Built in 1935 by the Moffat family and gracing the famed Morrow Street in Taringa, it was moved to its current location in 1994 and stands today as an exquisite entertainer that honours its past while embracing the future.

The residence sprawls across two levels, uniting traditional touches with modern-day luxuries. 

“Taringa is really something special, combining its unique history with elegant modern luxury, plus the two acres are beautifully landscaped to create a secluded oasis in which to relax and enjoy nature. I am sure all who inspect this property will be suitably impressed,” Michael Vettoretto told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, the owners said the gardens and outdoor entertainment areas are their property’s most-loved feature. 

“There are so many things we enjoy about this beautiful property. We love being outside, watching the birds and wildlife. The home has been a special property with a great story and such a unique opportunity to live in. We also love watching people’s reactions when they come to the property for the first time and seeing what we have created. Going by the reactions, we have created something very special! We will miss the house, gardens, and seclusion. We will miss seeing the koalas and birds. We will miss the history of the unique property and the story it comes with.”

Interiors beautifully blend old and new with original Hoop pine floorboards, unique and ornate domed ceilings paired with modern-day luxury inclusions. The gourmet kitchen, multiple living and dining zones, four bedrooms and three bathrooms create a haven for making happy memories. Gather with guests on the expansive rear patio with a bushland backdrop, rejuvenate in the freshwater pool and spa or come together around the fire-pit, where recycled railway sleepers pay homage to former station master and original owner of ‘Taringa’.

Beautiful hardwood boardwalks and stone pathways meander through the unsurpassed paradise outdoors too. The vast, park-like gardens are also designed to be easily maintained, meaning more time to enjoy your stunning home and surroundings.
