An iconic slice of history situated right on the New Farm river has hit the market for the first time in 10 years.

What was once the CSR sugar refinery, the property was established in 1893 and in 2004 was transformed into one of four stand alone homes with secluded access to the river.

According to marketing agent Matt Lancashire of Ray White New Farm, this is one of Brisbane's most prestigious and sought-after high end riverfront residential developments.

“With over 593 square meters right on the river, this home charms like no other,” he said.

“Of all its features, perhaps the most notable is the sheer frontage and private yard overlooking the water.”

Internationally acclaimed jewellery designer Margot McKinney and her husband Peter Kedwell, long standing wholesaler and importer/exporter have lived in this lavish home since its very conception.

“We had a few hours to kill one Saturday morning so decided to inspect the property, four days later we signed the contracts and have never looked back since,” said Margot.

“It really is unique in the true sense of the word. We loved the fact that we were the first people to live there and it offers all the benefits of being in a professional apartment complex as a stand alone home.”

The property offers location and lifestyle, with direct private access to the river, walking distance to New Farm Park, private schools, transport and many of Brisbane’s best restaurants and bars.

Additional features include:

  • Four generously-sized bedrooms
  • Three bathrooms
  • Multiple living areas
  • Basement wine cellar
  • Three carparks
  • Miele Appliances

The home is located at 2141/32 Refinery Parade, New Farm and will be auctioned on-site on Saturday 28 September at 12.30pm. Contact Matt Lancashire on 0416 476 480 or Nicholas Given on 0439 193 920.
