Overview
Set atop a hill on a sprawling 10,000 square metre parcel, this historic farm-style home known as "Fair View" offers a rare blend of period charm and modern liveability. Built in 1874 and cherished by only three owners, the residence showcases grand architectural features such as soaring ornate ceilings, hardwood floors, and multiple working fireplaces that enrich the elegant ambiance.
Elevated views extend across central Brookfield, visible from a wrap-around veranda that invites relaxed enjoyment of the verdant gardens and leafy surrounds. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas pave an effortless flow ideal for both family living and entertaining, complemented by contemporary comforts including ceiling fans and air conditioning throughout.
Adding to the home's versatility is a separate granny annex, equipped with its own kitchenette, bathroom, air conditioning, and natural light through a skylight—perfect for extended family, guests, or rental opportunities. Outdoors, the property embraces a resort-like setting featuring a pool with automatic cleaner, a generous alfresco area, and an authentic Italian wood-fired pizza oven, creating an inviting atmosphere for leisure and gatherings.
Beyond the main residence, the vast grounds are a haven for wildlife and include practical amenities such as a sizable carport, shed, extensive under-house storage, a climate-controlled historic wine cellar, rainwater tanks, and a water bore with tanks and reticulation. Sustainability is supported by a robust 15kW solar system paired with a 25kWh battery and an on-ground hot water system, alongside modern connectivity through NBN fibre.
Located within walking distance of local conveniences including Brookfield State School, general stores, cafes, and recreational facilities such as the showgrounds, parks, creeks, and forest trails, the property also benefits from proximity to Kenmore Village and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, with accessible bus routes to Brisbane City. It falls within sought-after school catchments, enhancing its appeal to families seeking a distinctive rural lifestyle within reach of urban amenities.
