An icon of historic significance, Oakridge Lake Estate is a Federation-style Queenslander that epitomises timeless grace and grandeur. Designed in 1904 by Robin S. Dods (the visionary behind some of Australia's finest buildings) and relocated from Newstead in 1982, it's time for a new generation of cherished memories to be made in this private 28 acre paradise.

Nestled towards the rear of the estate and boasting a prized northerly aspect, the main residence is accessed by a tree-lined driveway. Gazing across manicured grounds and a tranquil lake, it unfurls across a staggering 1043 m2 floorplan. Here, every detail denotes its distinguished past, from the original parquetry flooring and stained glass windows to the ornate mouldings, stately lighting and traditional butterfly staircase in the foyer.

Each level hosts a gourmet kitchen and living and dining zones, with a standout being the new entertaining lounge. Crowned by a 4m cathedral ceiling with 12 skylights and with travertine tiles underfoot, it's a blissfully light-filled domain to enjoy. Soaring ceilings and classic VJ panelling enhances the seven spacious bedrooms as well; five of which boast ensuites. And throughout, French doors open to the wraparound verandahs, inviting in views of the glorious grounds.

Two additional dwellings offer versatility for multi-generational living or for staff/caretakers to live onsite. The second home blends character with contemporary comfort and features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, lounge and dining zone, cosy loft, games room, laundry, and triple garage. The third dwelling – a studio with basement – includes a kitchenette, flexible bedroom/office space, bathroom with steam room, soundproof multi-purpose room and powder room.

Outdoors, savour resort-style entertaining and leisure amenities. After a hit on the championship-size tennis court, refresh in one Brisbane's largest private swimming pools – a sparkling blue oasis with sandstone surrounds and a mosaic-tiled spa. Or host celebrations in the adjoining alfresco pavilion that includes a built-in teppanyaki bar and beer taps. For a change of pace, cast a fishing line from the lakeside deck or seek a moment of reflection amongst the manicured gardens, punctuated by meandering paths, open-air sitting spots, firepits and gazebos. With a secluded island – accessible via a charming footbridge – it promises the ultimate adventure for children, too. Other key infrastructure comprises a 22.5m x 5.5m greenhouse, 24m x 18m warehouse, fenced paddocks, 3-phase power, 75kW solar and 60,000L water storage.

Perched on a prestigious, private and peaceful street, Oakridge Lake Estate delivers the best of both worlds – a semi-rural sanctuary close to schools, major retail precincts, arterial roads and just 20km (approx.) from the CBD. Opportunities to secure an estate of such historic significance are exceedingly rare. Experience the unmatched beauty, heritage, and tranquillity with an inspection today.
