A safe “sanctuary” at Cornubia with an address that speaks for itself is the perfect acreage hideaway for the quintessential modern-day family, says a local agent.
Cornubia’s 70-78 Sanctuary Drive is a 4500sqm flat block located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
Listed through Elders Real Estate, the 11-year-old home is described as both luxurious and practical – designed to suit a modern family lifestyle.
Elders sales agent Nathan Strudwick said the layout of the five-bedroom, two-bathroom homestead was one of its standout features.
“The floor plan is very functional for the modern-day family looking to live on acreage,” he said.
“You can see through the whole property from one location, which is great for parents and their surveillance of kids playing around the yard.”
With enough bedrooms and bathrooms for both the entire family, plus “expansive” living areas, the home has been built to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles.
Mr Strudwick suggested the property could suit large families, multi-generational households, or even those running a business from home.
“It could also suit tradies who want to park their work material,” he said.
“Or if they wish to store their work material and not have to buy a commercial shed or rent a commercial shed.”
According to the 2021 Census conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 16.3% of employed Cornubia residents worked as technicians or trade workers.
This figure is higher than the Queensland average (13.7%) and the Australian average (12.9%).
In addition to its layout and location, the property includes sustainability features such as an eight-kilowatt solar system on the roof and a wastewater system, which allows water to be recycled for garden irrigation.
Solar Calculator estimates that an eight-kilowatt solar installation can cost anywhere between $6700 and $9800, depending on factors such as quality and location.
Based on average energy usage of 20 kilowatts per day, homeowners could save over $1500 per year in electricity costs, according to the Solar Calculator’s data.
