Retreat to the country but remain within easy access of the city at 25 Woodward Place, Pullenvale.

Just 20km to Brisbane’s CBD, this 1.03ha property is a private escape from the urban grind.

It is a realistic purchase for corporate commuters as maintenance associated with both the house and land is relatively minimal.

Perched high on the rolling hills of Pullenvale and set back from the road, the five bedroom home is immersed in lush mature vegetation.

A large pool adds to the oasis-like environment with its tropical landscaping and children’s waterslide.

There is no better place to supervise kids than from an enormous deck which captures breezes and offers lovely views over the surrounding area.

The light single-level interior includes large rooms, polished timber floors and almost floor-to-ceiling windows.

It allows for the outside environment to be viewed from every room.

Features include a spa bath, stainless steel kitchen splashback, timber cabinetry and a secure three-door garage.

Neighbouring allotments are mostly acreage parcels with character houses yet despite a sizeable distance between residents, or perhaps because of it, the local community is friendly and supportive.

Only minutes away are Pullenvale State School, Pullenvale Forest Park, the popular Wild Canary Bistro, The University of Queensland’s Pinjarra Hills campus and Kenmore retail options.

This property represents extraordinary value, compared to prices paid for smaller lots in more built-up suburbs.

But talk of value aside, it’s hard to put a price on buying the best of both worlds.
