White Cedar Rd estate: A heritage homestead with views to Mount Elphinstone and Mount Tamborine in Pullenvale, Brisbane
Pullenvale, Brisbane, AU
Landed | For Sale
Tyson Clarke and Gabrielle Baker, Sotheby's International Realty Queensland
This estate was originally built in 1913 as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy in Roma, nearly 500 kilometres inland. The building was relocated to Pullenvale in 1998, its top storey removed to clear bridges along the route, in what was then believed to be the largest house ever moved. Reassembled on its current 10.5-acre site, the six-bedroom residence retains the pressed metal ceilings, polished timber floors, and French doors from its convent days. A two-bedroom guest house stands apart from the main house.
A Garsden Clarke-designed kitchen with a butler’s pantry and cold room anchors the more contemporary side of the main residence, while a wraparound verandah opens onto an 18-metre pool, vast lawn, and topiary and ornamental gardens leading down to a seasonal creek. Ample garaging and storage support a self-sufficient country lifestyle, while the elevated grounds look out towards Mount Elphinstone and Mount Tamborine.
