Residing on 11 acres (approx. 4.43ha) of sprawling land, this Brookfield homestead with floodlit championship tennis court and large stables offers the tranquillity of a country escape 25 minutes from the bustling heart of the Brisbane CBD.

Approaching via the long private driveway, the elegant provincial style home enjoys a north-east orientation with spectacular elevation, breathtaking views, and the picturesque landscape of rolling green hills and iconic jacaranda and hoop pine trees.

Named ‘Cefn Bryn’ which is Welsh for ‘Back of the Hill’, the home is surrounded by the beauty of nature and completely uninhibited by neighbours.

“Designed by famous Australian architect Geoffrey Pie, this once in a lifetime home is your own private escape for your family,” Rachael Spinks told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“You feel like you are on top of the world with views over rolling hills from Brookfield to the city.”

Originally designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Pie, the single level home is constructed with hand-washed bricks recovered from the old QUT building, and showcases oversized windows and doors also reclaimed from Brisbane’s historical landmarks. 

More recently, the current owners have undertaken their own meticulous renovation and extension process which harmoniously blends historical charm with modern elegance and a highly functional floor plan for contemporary family living. 

The heart of the home is the European-inspired central courtyard. Adorned with four fountains and jasmine topiaries, the courtyard is purposefully designed to invite natural light and breezes into every room of the home.

An all-season, indoor-outdoor entertaining room adjoins the provincial-style Wyer and Craw kitchen, featuring large butler’s pantry, hand-painted shaker cabinetry, honed granite benchtops, a full complement of European appliances. 

Completing the casual living wing of the home is a large family room and casual meals area with an open fireplace as the focal point of the room. In summer, it transforms to a light, bright and breezy space, opening out to the large, sunlit swimming pool on the northern side and the central courtyard to the other. An alfresco outdoor entertaining area, with BBQ and a pizza oven, connects seamlessly to both the pool and the kitchen.

The formal entertaining wing comprises formal dining room with easy access to the butler’s pantry, formal lounge room with open fireplace and a unique sitting room, which was originally designed to reflect an old-world “smoke room.” Each room opens in two directions, one to the stunning views of the grounds, and the other to the tranquil, central courtyard. 

The generous master bedroom is a peaceful retreat incorporating floor-to-ceiling built-in-robes, and an ensuite with travertine tiles, generous soaking tub, separate shower and toilet and substantial storage. It is adjoined by a large, versatile room, ideal as a dressing room, nursery, study or sitting room and a delightful outdoor shower in a private courtyard.

The rest of the family is accommodated in a kids’ bedroom wing with twin bedrooms boasting big windows and access to a shared family bathroom featuring limestone tiles; guest room with ensuite, built-in-wardrobes, study and sitting areas, along with access to two private courtyards; and teenager’s wing with recreation room.

Despite its idyllic country setting, ‘Cefn Bryn’ remains remarkably connected. It is a mere seven-minute drive to the convenience of the Kenmore shopping village and only a five-minute drive to the Brookfield General Store and Brookfield State School. Outstanding public and private schools are within 20 minutes.
