Located on a private acreage along the Nerang River in South East Queensland, this beautiful ranch by luxury Gold Coast builders Tomkins Constructions feels worlds away from the busy Gold Coast perfectly fitting in with the natural landscape.

This expansive residence includes five bedrooms, each with an en-suite, and a powder room, with design inspiration drawn from a large, ancient tree on the property. This tree, symbolizing “the source of life,” serves as the heart of the home. The layout emphasizes symmetry, dividing the house into two prominent wings with spacious courtyards at the front and back, reminiscent of a New Zealand Jack’s Point-inspired design.

Reflecting the client’s desire to capture the essence of their favourite holiday destination during the COVID lockdowns, The Ranch boasts a striking façade of dark, robust materials. Timber cladding and stone accents complement the natural surroundings, creating a strong presence on the land. The interior continues this theme, with a palette of moody, masculine tones enhanced by copper fittings and subtle textures. Timber flooring balances the interior’s rich intimate ambiance with warmth.

Open-plan living areas provide a spacious setting that invites the relaxed lifestyle of Queensland acreage. Sliding doors and louvres throughout create the indoor-outdoor flow, offering unobstructed views of the surrounding natural beauty and wildlife.

The kitchen is a masterpiece in itself, featuring a private butler’s pantry, state-of-the-art appliances, and a large island bench with seating for six, perfectly positioned to overlook the lush rear yard. The outdoor space is designed for entertainment and relaxation, complete with a firepit, a resort-style pool, and an alfresco dining area, ideal for being outdoors during winter or summer and perfectly lit for evening entertaining, all set against a backdrop of the gorgeous Australian bushland.

Spanning 550 square meters of garage and living space, plus an additional 215 square metres of decking and pool area, The Ranch even includes a helipad, making it the ultimate family getaway. This stunning home combines luxury with its natural, rural setting leaving very happy clients boasting about Tomkins Constructions capabilities of following through with the concept every step of the way.
