A 2.26 hectare block in Girraween has gone up for sale, offering a new family the rural home of their dreams.
The six-bedroom, four-bathroom property at 34 Kappler Rd features two residences, a workshop, a bike track and horse riding zone, along with a $2.3m price guide to match.
A massive 2.26 hectare property has gone up for sale at 34 Kappler Rd, Girraween, and offers something for bike riders, horse riders and car owners alike.
Owner Adam Murrihy said he and his wife bought the property when it was only a house and a swimming pool, and added its remaining features over the next 12 years.
“The granny flat was for my wife’s mother,” he said. “We had three kids at the time and had a fourth later on.
“It was the perfect home with plenty of room for everyone, and plenty of activities out in the back paddock.”
The six-bedroom property was owned and slowly expanded by Adam Murrihy and his wife over 12 years of ownership, turned into a paradise for the family of seven.
The single-level house features five bedrooms and a contemporary design, with a granny flat right next door for multigenerational living options.
While bordered by native greenery on all sides, the house itself has a modern interior design.
An open-plan living space acts as the centrepiece to the main residence, with sliding glass doors allowing natural light from the outside into the contemporary chef’s kitchen.
The master bedroom and ensuite bathroom sits to one side of the house, while the other side sports four bedrooms and a spacious family room for quiet entertaining.
The pool is just one of the property’s many features available for families seeking an outdoors lifestyle.
A covered patio leads to the granny flat next door, including its own kitchen, living space and ensuite bathroom for those seeking separated living.
A larger covered patio offers views of the backyard by the pool, and was only one of the many recreation spaces the Murrihy family enjoyed together.
The huge garage doubles as a workshop and office
“The sunrises and sunsets have been pretty kind to us over the years there,” Mr Murrihy said. “Having that big entertaining area will be sorely missed overlooking the pool; and I suppose the shed was the ultimate man cave.”
The massive garage – complete with carport, workshop, clean room, cool room and office – acted as a huge space for Mr Murrihy to store his car collection over the years.
“Having a climate controlled room and being able to keep them in the condition they are is a massive bonus,” he said.
The back of the property features a giant horse riding zone and biking track, and has been used to train for motocross, show jumping and dressage over the years.
Further out the back sits two massive areas for two completely different sports.
A stable and equestrian area was used by the Murrihy daughters for horse riding over the years, while the bike track was a big space for Mr Murrihy and his sons to go riding.
“Me and the two boys used to race motocross, so we used to do our training there,” he said.
“All our own horses were stabled on the property … both of my daughters competed with show jumping and dressage, and that was their arena to practice their sports on.”
The home is on the market with Coles and Carter Real Estate, at a price guide of $2.3m.
With the Murrihy family moving to a new location, the home is now seeking a buyer who can make use of the massive and versatile location.
The property is up for sale with Coles and Carter Real Estate, with agent Stephanie Carter available to contact.
