25 Keel Street, Birkdale, Qld 4159

There are homes that are beautiful, homes that are remarkable, and then there are homes that are also landmarks. Villa Solana is one of them. Privately positioned upon an extraordinary 1,408sqm waterfront holding with an impressive 55m quay line and direct access to the main canal, this singular estate represents an exceptional fusion of architecture, craftsmanship and European inspired design. Framed by sweeping water views and with an enviable sense of privacy, Villa Solana is the crown jewel of Aquatic Paradise. Regarded as one of the finest homes in Queensland, it is a residence conceived not simply to be lived in, but to be experienced.

From the moment of arrival, a profound sense of calm takes hold. The gentle sound of a bronze water fountain sets the tone before the entry opens dramatically beneath a soaring 6.5m void. A beautifully textured rendered curved staircase draws the eye upward towards an extraordinary underlit dome finished in liquid copper and suspended beneath, an imported chandelier. It is an impressive introduction that immediately reveals the extraordinary level of thought, artistry and craftsmanship woven throughout the home.

The residence unfolds across generous and highly considered living spaces, accommodating five ensuited bedrooms, a dedicated office, theatre room, billiards and cellar room, gym with sauna room, and distinct formal and informal living zones. Yet it is the extraordinary detailing that truly sets Villa Solana apart, with rich European influences expressed through luminous lime washed walls, Sante Fe render, reclaimed and imported timbers, sculptural arches and globally sourced fixtures and finishes. Every element is deliberately chosen, creating an atmosphere that is deeply individual, warm and entirely removed from conventional waterfront design.

As daylight moves across the estate, the residence transforms, with changing light revealing the depth and texture of the rendered walls, natural materials and sculptural finishes. As evening arrives, the atmosphere becomes intimate and evocative, with the architectural detailing and carefully considered lighting bringing another dimension to the home.

At the heart of the residence, the kitchen is both highly functional and beautifully expressive, centred by a substantial island framed by the organic flow of the surrounding waterways. The space is perfectly positioned to bring family and friends together, with seamless connection and effortless flow to both the indoor living spaces and the expansive outdoor entertaining areas, offering you complete tranquil enjoyment and privacy.

The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, offering a sprawling retreat designed to embrace the water outlook and cooling bay breezes. Juliette balconies frame the views while a generous dressing room and beautifully appointed ensuite create an indulgent private escape, complete with a spa bath for quiet moments of relaxation. The additional three upper level bedrooms continue the exceptional scale and character, each accompanied by its own ensuite, while the two eastern bedrooms are particularly impressive with generous proportions, curved alcoves, substantial robes and access to a shared balcony overlooking the full breadth of the waterfront.

Entertainment has been given equal consideration, with the dedicated theatre creating an immersive cinematic experience through its dramatic liquid rust and iron finish, 98 inch television and seven speaker surround sound system. The billiards room introduces a wonderful sense of history and warmth through reclaimed timber flooring salvaged from the Brisbane Woolstores and substantial hand carved imported pillars, while the formal living room evokes the character of a Mediterranean retreat with warm tones and a fireplace creating an inviting space for quiet evenings and intimate entertaining.

The dedicated office occupies a private wing overlooking manicured gardens and the glistening canal, creating an inspiring environment for work or retreat. A guest suite provides a sense of calm overlooking the courtyard taking in the serenity of the water fountain as your backdrop. The climate controlled home gym is equally impressive, incorporating a sauna and opening towards the open garden space, while the home's extensive utility spaces have been designed with the same attention to detail found throughout the principal living areas. Technology has been seamlessly integrated throughout the residence, with C-Bus automation connecting each zone to deliver effortless control while preserving privacy, comfort and functionality.

Beyond the interiors, embraced by the quintessential bayside lifestyle through an exceptional sequence of outdoor living and entertaining spaces. Beautifully textured rendered arches frame the transition from inside to out, leading towards an expansive entertaining environment complete with wet bar and wood fired pizza oven, while an integrated Sonos system allows music to flow effortlessly throughout the indoor and outdoor zones. The private salt chlorinated pool, complete with solar heating, sits amongst mature Mediterranean landscaping and leads towards a traditional Bali hut, creating a secluded sanctuary where privacy, tranquillity and the waterfront setting converge.

The 55m quay line is one of the defining attributes of this extraordinary estate, providing direct access to the main canal while creating an ever changing outlook across the water. A substantial 12m pontoon with water and power, utility sink and paddleboard rack extends the lifestyle possibilities further, providing a private base for boating, fishing and exploring the waterways. Despite the remarkable scale of the waterfront, the property retains an exceptional sense of privacy, allowing the water to remain an ever present backdrop without compromising the intimacy of the home.

A three car garage with workshop, extensive storage cabinetry, water tanks, comprehensive security, C-Bus automation and Sonos throughout further demonstrate the considered functionality behind the residence. Nothing has been added simply for effect, everything has a purpose, with every space and feature contributing to the way Villa Solana is experienced, from its dramatic arrival sequence through to its private gardens, waterfront entertaining and beautifully crafted interiors.

Ultimately, Villa Solana cannot be defined by its specifications alone. Its true distinction lies in the atmosphere created through architecture, craftsmanship, materiality and an extraordinary connection to its waterfront setting. It is the sound of water upon arrival, the changing light across the lime washed walls, the warmth of reclaimed timber, the texture of the European render, the bay breezes moving through the residence and the seamless relationship between the home, landscape and water.

Created with extraordinary personal vision and an uncompromising commitment to quality, Villa Solana represents a rare convergence of architecture, lifestyle and waterfront position. Set within one of Aquatic Paradise's most tightly held enclaves, this is a residence of genuine individuality and enduring significance, a once in a generation estate that stands apart as one of Queensland's most exceptional private homes.
