Luxury Brisbane five-acre (approximately 20,000sqm) property 'Stonebrook' has been sold by Tyson Clarke of Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty. 

The undisclosed sale price broke the previous Chandler record of $11 million for a prestige acreage property in the area and surpasses all other recent sales in the area, including surrounding suburbs of Belmont and Gumdale.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Tyson Clarke said that inspections were conducted by appointment only with strict due diligence to maintain the privacy of both seller and buyer.

“In high end homes neither the vendor nor the purchaser wants hundreds of people through their personal space or to have people say ‘Oh, I loved your bathroom, lounge room’ at a dinner party,” he explained. 

“In the end we had three people all competing. The purchasers didn’t want to wait til the EOI closing date and secured the home prior to closing.”

Reminiscent of a Queenstown Villa or African Safari Lodge, Stonebrook envelopes you in total seclusion. The sprawling 1,559sqm masterpiece was designed by New Zealand architect Lawrence Sumich, of Sumich Chaplin, delivering international influences including a feature bar that references the writers room bar in the iconic Raffles Hotel, Singapore.

Tyson told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND the home was purchased by a SEQ family who loved everything about the property. 

“They said they’d seen a lot of lovely homes and stayed in a lot of nice hotels and lodges and this home was by far the best,” Tyson said.

The 6-bedroom home presents superior entertaining amenities with a gourmet kitchen with Gaggenau and Sub Zero appliances, sumptuous ensuite bedrooms, and tranquil gardens.

Situated approx. 17km from the Brisbane CBD, Chandler offers a vibrant semi-rural village atmosphere without compromising on proximity to necessary amenities.

The home’s multitude of additional features includes a self-contained guest wing accommodating 9 in 4 separate rooms; an expansive poolside terrace with separate pavilion offering bar, commercial pizza oven, BBQ, and wood fireplace. 

Recreational details include a triple garage with gym, bathroom, and Finnish sauna; saltwater pool and heated spa, ½ basketball court, cricket net, golf facility, and dressage arena.

“I believe this home is irreplaceable with its privacy, location, scale, and grandeur,” Tyson told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“Using the best architects in NZ with the design reflecting a luxury private lodge is something rarely seen in Australia and certainly the first in Brisbane,” he said.

“Though there are more expensive homes along the river, the quality, the design, the thoughtfulness and bringing the original vision and concept to the full execution, make this possibly the best house in Brisbane.”
