There aren’t many estates in Queensland that exude true old-world charm, but the riverside mansion at 19 Ormadale Road, Yeronga, is without a doubt one of the finest the state has ever seen. Known to locals as “Rivadere,” the palatial property offers lush views of the surrounding natural landscape, immaculate amenities and attention to detail that will leave prospective buyers wide-eyed.

All counted, the land size of 19 Ormadale Road, Yeronga, extends across 2,725m², providing ample space for spectacular gardens at both the front and rear of the property, as well as a competition-sized tennis court, infinity pool and an alfresco dining area with attached kitchen. Upon arrival at the discrete entrance gates, you need only venture down the driveway past the clipped arrival courtyard gardens to enjoy a first impression of the home in all of its grandeur.

Boasting six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a further six car parks, the property covers three distinct levels in total. The solid timber doors open onto a lavish entrance foyer with natural timber ceilings that stretch nearly eight metres in height and a sprawling staircase to the upper and lower floors, before opening up onto the open-plan living and dining area next to the kitchen.

The entrance level also features a semicircular library with its own off-form domed roof, a lounge area and an office, as well as direct access to the outdoor dining space through a set of folding doors with floor-to-ceiling windows. With black and white chessboard-like tiling found in the foyer and alfresco dining area, intricately patterned carpets and timber detailing throughout, the interior designers of the residence certainly knew what they were doing.

On the upper level is where you’ll find five bedrooms, most of which feature both ensuite bathrooms and walk-in robes, while the enormous master bedroom is as large as many one-bedroom apartments and boasts a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with a spa. Four of the five bedrooms enjoy double doors that open up onto the 133m² balcony, which serves up views over the gardens at the rear of the property and out across the Brisbane River and the St Lucia Golf Course beyond.

The below-ground level is full of its own exciting spaces, including a home cinema, six underground car parks, plus a wine tasting room + cellar with a capacity for a collection of 5,000 bottles. It also includes the sixth and final bedroom, which is attached to a self-contained studio apartment that is complete with a kitchen, walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom.

From the palatially sized block and its 43 metres of river frontage, gardens and facilities, to the European grandeur of the main residence and its thoughtfully considered details, there’s just so much to love about 19 Ormadale Road, Yeronga. The property is represented by Ray White New Farm and is heading to auction at 9:30 AM on October 15th. While the agent Christine Rudolph wasn’t able to provide a price guide due to the upcoming auction, properties of a similar magnitude have recently sold for between $10 and $12 million.
