Inside the stunning multimillion-dollar estate in Chandler, Brisbane, set to break a property record

A multimillion-dollar home sitting on a leafy sprawling estate boasts luxury features including an infinity-edge pool, sauna, wine cellar, high-end bar and water-surrounded conversation pit. 

The incredible property, known as Stonebrook, looks like it is nestled in the countryside; however, it is situated in the south-eastern Brisbane suburb of Chandler, 16km from the city’s centre, or a half-hour drive.

After the spectacular home hit the market, buyers were in a frenzy and agents were inundated with inquiries as the property is expected to fetch a record-breaking price upwards of $20million. 

Stonebrook’s design was inspired by an African Safari Lodge and a holiday villas from Queenstown in New Zealand with striking black structures and stone walls and chimneys.

Inside feels like a high-end hotel thanks to its opulent rustic-chic design, cosy bedrooms, lavish bathrooms and a jaw-dropping bar in the billiards room which was modelled off the iconic Raffles Hotel in Singapore.

A decked terrace with a firepit greets guests before entering the main four-bedroom home through the ‘grand foyer’ with an antler chandelier handing from the 5.2 metre vaulted ceiling. 

Across from the foyer is a formal lounge room with a moody black-and-white colour scheme softened by earthy tones and textures and decorated with taxidermy and African-inspired trinkets. 

Down the hall through a glass corridor is the sophisticated billiards rooms with exposed ceiling beams, pool table, roaring fireplace, outdoor terrace and a stunning bar inspired by the luxury Raffles hotel in Singapore where Stonebrook’s owner is based. 

An open plan family room has a lounge area warmed by a stone fireplace as well as a enviable kitchen featuring a stone island bench and butler’s pantry. 

Sliding doors pull back in the family room to reveal the breathtaking entertaining terrace that is just as luxurious as the home’s interior.

Listing agent Tyson Clarke of Queensland Sotheby’s International told FEMAIL he was getting interest from ‘here there and everywhere’ in just the first 24 hours after Stonebrook hit the market with demand coming from locals, out of state and overseas. 

‘It’s one of the best homes in Brisbane, if not the best. There’s nothing else like it, even if someone tried to copy it, they couldn’t,’ he said before calling the home ‘unique’ and ‘one-of-a-kind’.

‘People always gabber on about homes being irreplaceable, this one actually is the definition of that. It’s the perfect combination of design, taste and perfect execution.’

The dreamy property has a $20million asking price however if it fetches half a million more it will break Brisbane’s home price record set just two months ago. 

The current record is held by a waterfront four-bedroom Queenslander in New Farm which was sold by Brisbane architect Tony Dempsey and his wife, Poppy for $20.5million in April. 

Stonebrook is owned by JLL Hotels executive Mike Batchelor and his wife Margie who is an interior designer who wanted to recreate the homes they saw in Queenstown during numerous family ski holidays. 

The Batchelors purchased the property five years ago for just $1.5million and spent millions of dollars and three years building the home.

The family have only lived in the completed home for a year but are selling to move into an even bigger property nearby

Mike told realestate.com.au ‘privacy and seclusion’ was one of the pair’s ‘top priorities’ when they designed the home. 

‘We planted mature London Plane trees, creating a magical driveway reminiscent of a country estate. The house was placed across the block running east to west, and with the house being 55m wide, it provides nearly all rooms with a perfect northerly aspect,’ he said. 

‘One standout is Lota Creek which meandered across the rear of the block. We knew we could make it a real feature.’
