635 Ilkley Road

Described as a “mini American hunting lodge meets quintessential Queenslander”, this unique multi-level residence offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and classic character. Set on 15 acres of tranquil bushland, the home is brimming with personality, from its vaulted ceilings and coloured glass windows to its French doors and inviting window seat. For those after dual living there's also a completely separate studio with its own driveway.

Positioned to capture panoramic views stretching from the Blackall Range across to the Mt Coolum, the home feels like a world away yet sits just five minutes from Forest Glen. Architecturally designed in 1985 with Western Red Cedar and double brick, it’s a home that celebrates timeless style, natural beauty, and clever design.

Inside, the main residence offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by warm, character-filled living spaces. The open fireplace sets a cosy tone, while the built-in bar makes entertaining effortless — or can be reimagined as the perfect home office. Outdoors, you’ll find two generous hardwood decks, an al-fresco shower with a stunning outlook, and garden spaces that bring the surrounding landscape into everyday life.

For those seeking flexibility, a large garage with an air-conditioned, fully self-contained studio provides excellent options for dual living, guests, or creative pursuits. Beyond the home, a potential second elevated house pad offers the perfect site for a B&B cottage, while all-weather access roads lead through the property to a huge dam and kilometres of former horse trails. Established fruit trees and edible gardens complete the lifestyle picture, creating a private sanctuary with everything at your fingertips.

Located in the sought-after Chevallum school catchment and close to Grammar, Flinders, and Montessori, this property is perfectly placed for those wanting space, privacy, and convenience. It’s a rare opportunity to secure a home with true character, spectacular views, and unlimited lifestyle potential.
