This Sherwood residence delivers a family and entertainers’ sanctuary on approximately 1,642sqm in one of Brisbane’s most prestigious riverfront enclaves.

Positioned away from the tree-lined street and across the river from the cherished Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the dual-level home boasts a tranquil atmosphere, a private pontoon, an in-ground swimming pool and tastefully renovated interiors.

The residence was flood-free in both the 2011 and 2022 Brisbane floods.

“I love this home’s location, it is highly regarded and very private,” Ann-Karyn Fraser told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. “The aspect is so beautiful, looking across the river to Lone Pine. So peaceful and quiet." 

“The design of the home is amazing, with full height glass windows, working with the natural light. And there is so much space! The layout is so clever and spacious, it works for everyone.”
