A tranquil country retreat at 83 Lockyer View Road, Wivenhoe Pocket

There is something about a country home surrounded by beautiful gardens that encourages you to pause. Morning coffee lasts a little longer. Weekends become less about getting away and more about enjoying where you are. And at the end of a busy day, coming home feels like a retreat.

At 83 Lockyer View Road, that feeling is matched by an impressive collection of features. Set on an immaculate 4,050m² parcel in a sought-after plateau position, this quality AV Jennings residence combines a generous family home, self-contained granny flat, inviting saltwater pool and substantial shed with a hoist. Together, they create an exceptional opportunity to enjoy space, tranquillity and the freedom to pursue the things you love.

A beautiful setting, with town close by

Established gardens and fruit trees give the fully fenced grounds a settled, welcoming character. There is space for children to play, room to tend the garden and plenty of opportunity to find a quiet corner with a book. The north-facing front verandah overlooks these beautiful surroundings, offering a lovely place to begin the morning or unwind as the day draws to a close.

This peaceful pocket feels removed from the everyday rush, yet Fernvale is approximately five minutes away. Its Sunday markets, much-loved bakery, Woolworths and local services make it easy to combine country living with everyday convenience. Ipswich is approximately 30 minutes away, keeping work, shopping and broader amenities within comfortable reach.

Nearby Wivenhoe adds another dimension to the lifestyle, with waterside recreation areas and picnic settings to enjoy at leisure. Weekends might take you on a scenic drive towards Mount Glorious, an outing to Somerset Dam or a relaxed visit to Esk or Kilcoy. There is plenty to explore, and an equally appealing reason to head home.

Comfort, character and room to settle in

Beautifully maintained, the lowset four-bedroom brick home offers the enduring appeal of a thoughtful family layout. Two separate living areas allow space to come together and room to enjoy quieter moments, while vaulted ceilings lend a lovely sense of openness.

Fresh internal paint and updated flooring enhance the interiors, creating a welcoming backdrop for your own furnishings and personal touches. In the cooler months, the Masport combustion fireplace becomes a natural gathering point - a place for slow evenings and easy conversation. A large split-system air conditioner adds comfort throughout the warmer seasons.

The spacious central kitchen sits at the heart of daily life, with a dishwasher, generous storage and room to keep everything close at hand. From a simple breakfast before heading into town to preparing lunch for a houseful of guests, it is a practical space that connects naturally with the home’s relaxed way of living.

Four bedrooms provide flexibility for family and visitors. The spacious master bedroom offers its own comfortable retreat, complete with a walk-in robe, ensuite and air conditioning. Updated bathrooms bring a contemporary touch, complemented by a well-presented laundry.

Stretching along the rear of the home, the full-length covered entertaining area creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining and relaxed gatherings. With the pool in view, it is easy to imagine summer lunches extending well into the afternoon, friends lingering around the table and family enjoying the space together.

The 9m x 4m inground saltwater pool is a centrepiece of the outdoor lifestyle, complemented by a shade sail. From an early dip to a refreshing swim at the end of the day, it brings a little holiday atmosphere to the everyday.

With verandah living at the front and generous entertaining space at the rear, the home offers a choice of places to sit, gather and enjoy its garden setting.

Space for family, hobbies and possibility

A self-contained granny flat adds a valuable layer of versatility, offering space for extended family or visiting guests to enjoy their own routine while remaining close by. It is a welcome inclusion for those seeking a property that can accommodate changing family needs.

The impressive 12m x 13m shed, complete with a hoist, will hold particular appeal for motoring enthusiasts, hobbyists and anyone who appreciates a substantial workspace. Whether your interests involve restoration, hands-on projects or simply having room to organise equipment, this is a feature that opens up possibilities. Rear yard access adds further everyday practicality.

Solar and more than 70,000 litres of rainwater tank capacity complement the property’s extensive improvements, while the fully fenced block provides a defined and beautifully established setting for it all.

Offering comfort, flexibility and a remarkable range of lifestyle features, 83 Lockyer View Road is a home to enjoy in every season. A morning in the garden, an afternoon in the shed, a swim before dinner and an evening shared on the verandah - here, there is room for life to take a gentler pace.
