This Ramsey homestead has been perched high amongst approximately 215 acres of beautiful landscape, delivering the perfect escarpment retreat, anchored to its lush surrounds and the breathtaking views beyond by extensive use of stone and timber.

Named ‘Amabilia’, the homestead was designed by ELIA Architecture and built and completed in 2019 by award-winning builders Swish Design and Construct.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, ELIA’s founding partner Lester Ehrlich said, “The site for the house was a stunning knoll overlooking the Great Dividing Range and Lockyer Valley to the East. Views to the North and South captured long vistas over rolling valleys and distant hills.”

“The house is a modern version of the Australian Country House, designed to allow all the living, recreational and bedrooms access to these views.”

“The site includes sheds, long drive, grand entry, and a large circular drive. An external pool is snuggled into the nook between Living, Entertaining and Bedroom 1, and has an infinity edge to the view. Two large open fires warm the heart of this house, timber and stone features maintain the warmth, and high ceilings and expansive glass extend the sense of space and connect the home to its unique position.”

“‘Amabilia’ is an architectural masterpiece and arguably one of the grandest and most impressive properties in the district and surrounds, the homestead is inspired by mountain lodge architecture and design,” Erin Foley told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The home is spectacular at every turn; its seamless design incorporates indoor and outdoor living and perfectly blends with its natural surroundings with its stone and timber features giving the home an earthy and warm feeling.”

“The unparalleled and ever-changing views make you feel as though you are completely disconnected from the world and living in your very own private mountain retreat,” Erin explained.

Located at the end of the treelined bitumen driveway, the spectacular homestead presents unparalleled luxury and refinement, greeting you with a formal living space accented with the light natural tones of soaring timber ceilings, recycled beams and oak flooring which pairs perfectly with the stone fireplace surrounds. 

Both the formal and informal living areas overlooking the central infinity pool whilst connecting seamlessly to the outdoors through extensive glazing. The open plan living areas are vast and perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with family, and the views create an idyllic and peaceful retreat.
