Every aspect of this home makes a statement.<br /><br />Booval House proudly boasts Heritage Awards:<br />2000 Ipswich City Council Awards for Excellence, Ron Brown Memorial for Heritage Conservation and 2002 National Trust of Queensland John Herbert Gold Award for Excellence in Heritage Conservation.<br /><br />The residence is surrounded by mature gardens and sprawling lawns and the owners share the enjoyment of this unique residence by opening "Booval House" for functions like weddings, music evenings and corporate gatherings. Picturesque views to distance mountains give the upstairs terrace an unsurpassed ambience for celebrations.<br /><br />Booval House features grand formal living areas which include a drawing room, dining room, library, music room, five bedrooms (three with ensuite), cellar and six fireplaces and huge modern kitchen.<br /><br />The property has been a farm on a 125 hectare estate and a convent in later years and the adjoining chapel can seat up to 70 guests and has two bedrooms upstairs plus Sacristy on lower level.<br />Many wedding functions have taken place in the chapel and the stunning grounds have provided the backdrop for numerous wedding photos.<br /><br />The landscaped grounds include two greenhouses, a summer-house, orchid house, 1850's underground water tank and nine above-ground tanks, eight under cover vehicle spaces, workroom in garage wing and circular driveway with fountain, plus 2 street frontage with 3 entrances.<br /><br />Whether the sixth owner will want to keep Booval House as a truly outstanding family residence or invest wisely in a commercial venture such as a "bed and breakfast" facility, function centre or professional offices, its value as a heritage showpiece needs to be preserved.<br /><br />Zoned:<br />SU80 - Special Uses (Historic Home/Function Centre/Accom)</span><br /><br />WOWEE
