If your ideal home is extra large then you should take an extra long look at 29 Akona Place (off Mount Crosby Road). The generously sized home is matched with space galore that can accommodate just about any requirement. Located at the end of a quiet cul de sac surrounded by other large properties, it's country life with all the city conveniences. Its hilltop position at the end of a private, all weather driveway offers you the peace and privacy to explore the property on horse, mountain bike or create your very own bushwalking trail down to the adjoining 14 hectares of nature reserve.

There are so many options with property of this size. Keen gardeners, animal breeders and Mountain Bikers will all find great opportunities here. Horse owners and hobby farmers will appreciate the three easily accessible paddocks and the public reserve allows native birds and animals to greet you each morning. The dressage arena is currently used for another purpose but could easily be reinstated. The large powered steel framed shed, equipped with ceiling fans and a remote double door, can be used to accommodate four vehicles or be converted to stables (as has been done in the past). The home also has a remote double garage with internal entry making a total of 6 covered and secure car spaces plus plenty of paved parking space for guests. There are also two garden sheds and a 5000 litre rainwater tank for garden use.

Built in 1982 by AV Jennings, the brick and tile construction includes a hardwood timber frame. Downstairs you'll find the air conditioned Main Bedroom with a walk-thru robe to the ensuite and the adjacent home office which could also serve as an additional living area/parents retreat. The kitchen overlooks the back garden with servery access and separates the casual meals and living room from the more formal lounge and dining areas (all with air conditioning). Upstairs are four large bedrooms plus plenty of storage space. The family bathroom is also centrally located on the top level. A sixth bedroom would easily be possible by converting the home office.

The downstairs laundry including a shower, doubles as a mudroom with direct access to the back garden. Adjacent to the laundry is a powder room for guests. Security screens are on all downstairs doors and gutter guard has been installed.

The rear terrace is ideal for barbecues and al fresco entertaining with plenty of lawn area for the kids to play (or for a pool). The home is surrounded by picturesque, gently sloping, bush which encourages some amazing birdlife/fauna and provides fantastic views. With such versatility, this is the perfect home for an active outdoor family to accommodate multiple hobbies and interests - the country life and all so close to the city. Due to the property's extensive size there may be the option to subdivide, subject to council approvals.

The local Mount Crosby State School is a short drive away. Buses for numerous western suburbs high schools and colleges stop at the end of the street. Karana Downs is only 35 minutes away from the Brisbane CBD and less than 20 minutes from the Ipswich CBD. The nearby Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Amberley, Toowoomba as well as to Brisbane Airport. Numerous bush walks and leisure opportunities are only minutes away, another reason why the Karana Downs lifestyle is hard to beat.
